If someone asks me if there is a God, I don't know how to give a clear answer.This is an experience that happened in my childhood and still scares me when I think about it.When my father moved to a far away place, he decided to take us with him. At that time, I was studying in the 8th class and my brother in the 6th class. When we came to the new place, we got a small rented house to stay.Although the rented house was located a little far from the town, it was a populated area. There were many other rented houses and residents in the vicinity of the rented house where we lived.My mother was a believer in God and my father was a perfect rationalist. When My brother and I used to visit the temple with my mother, my father used to make fun of my mother.The rental house we lived in had a bed room, an office room, a small dining hall, a verandah, a small kitchen and an attached bathroom.Mother had placed pictures of Hindu gods in a small corner of the office room and made it possible to light a lamp at dusk. As per mother's insistence, my brother and I used to take a bath and start praying there.I could only go on for a short time without any unusual occurrences, because I often felt that someone other than us was the inmate of that house.Some nights I have seen many figures coming from the dining hall to our bed room. The figures appear after a while when the lights are off. Then I quickly close my eyes and pull the blanket over me.When I woke up in the  morning, I did not tell my mother and father that these unusual experiences at night were my dreams or feelings.But I kept seeing these figures for many nights. When I was lying awake in bed, I felt that those white figures coming from the dining hall came to our bed room and disappeared there.

In the following days, the incident happened that soon made me clearly convinced that those figures were not my feelings and that they were a reality.As usual, at dusk, my brother and I were praying by lighting a lamp in front of the pictures of Gods arranged in the office room.Suddenly a female figure dressed in white appeared from the dining hall.I was scared but no voice came out to scream.The figure is flowing forward. It stopped at the door without entering the office room where we were standing.I slowly touched my brother who was standing next to me.He also clearly saw the female figure dressed in white looking at us.We both fell silent...we could hear mom talking to the neighbor outside.The figure's eyes were white as white stones.It looked at us for a while and showed its sharp teeth.We cowered in silence and trembled.We could hear our mother coming in from outside.Then the white figure slowly went from there to the bed room.When we saw mother, we both ran to mother and narrated the incident. Mother heard it and made fun of us.....
