In our country, the concepts of yoga, mortal body, life and death, soul, divine and many dead souls are often discussed. Our grandmothers also used to tell us many stories that involved tales of reincarnation and dead souls.
Some of the stories also mentioned demons, evil spirits, good spirits, fairies, witches, dwarves, etc. Although this life was always full of mysteries, after hearing about ghosts, and spirits, it was never felt whether they exist in real or not.
As we grow older, changes take place in us and we become mentally mature.
But one incident happened in my life in such a way that I came to believe that there must be some supernatural powers in this world, which can be attained only by any special study or special method.
In those days when I was only 14-15 years old, a friend of my father rented a room in his house to a student pursuing a Master of Law course to live in his house temporarily.
His room was very close to the terrace of our house and the window of his room was visible from our terrace. Whenever I used to look out the window of that student, he was always seen reading some book or magazine etc.
There were other brothers in my family besides me, we used to get a formal hello from them while watching him on the terrace. Then our brothers became friends with him and all of us brothers started going to his room. One day I asked him what he had been reading all day. He laughed and told that he is doing a master's in Law. And also told that he is also studying supernatural powers and contact with the souls who came out of the dead bodies.
Then he told again that just as there are good and bad people in life, similarly good and bad souls also roam in this supernatural world. These souls keep wandering about in their lifetime due to leaving some work unfinished. By contacting them, a person can know about his past and future.
Hearing all this, I did not understand anything and I was also feeling fear. But my elder brothers became more curious about this and asked him if we too can establish contact with spirits. He said why not at all, but a particular day and time will be fixed to perform this action, and then we four people will be able to contact them together. And he also said that he will tell me that time soon.
Then after about 15 days he called us and said that he will do that action at 11 o'clock on Friday night, if all of you brothers agree, then we will be able to do this work, we asked him how all this will happen, then he told us that this On a large wooden table some words and figures will be drawn with the help of an easy moving button on them. In this action, a button or any such thing can be used which can easily move on the smooth surface of the table, and it is called Planchette.
On Friday night at 11 o'clock, we reached his room, he had done all the preparations on his wooden table, and as soon as we reached he instructed us to sit at that table and sit. We followed his instructions and we saw that the numbers 0 to 9 and all the words from A to Z were made with pens in different directions on the table. Apart from this, some strange small pictures were also made.
There was very little light in his room, the electric bulbs were turned off and the candles were lit for light and the scented incense sticks were burning, the atmosphere of the room seemed very mysterious. My condition was deteriorating due to fear, but living there with my brothers gave me courage..
Then he recited some mantras etc. in his mind and told us that we all would put our finger on that button together and ask any past tense or future question in his ear. First of all my elder brother asked him a question of his own. And silently noted it down on a copy too.
Then he started uttering some mantra loudly and we saw that there was a shadow in the light of the room, the lights of the candles shook a little while no wind blew then that button started sliding on that wooden table with the help of our fingers and after passing some words and numbers, it became stable.
Then another question was asked my other brother, and then the same thing happened and he carefully noted those words and numbers in the copy. Similarly, we kept asking questions for about 20 minutes and the answers were given to us by button walking on the board. Then we stopped doing that action, in response to the questions asked by my brothers and that friend, some names and dates were mentioned. The answers for the past tense questions were found almost correct but there was a long time to confirm them for the future question.
The one question that my brother jokingly asked was when the black dog of our locality would die because that dog often bit us. In this reply, a date was written that it will die after 15 days. We thought how can such a strong dog die after 15 days, but that dog died after just 15 days after being buried under a car? That incident convinced me and my brothers that spirits do exist.
Then after a few days, that person went somewhere else from that room and then after 2-3 years that student was found dead in a suspicious condition on the side of a crematorium. The people in their surroundings told that this man often used to come to the crematorium to perform some religious rituals during the night, perhaps some evil spirit killed him.
This incident had an effect on my mind for a long time, then after getting engaged in my normal work, I forget all this, but even today there is a belief in my mind that there must be something called spirits. But these good or evil spirits never trouble any good and ordinary person, unless they are invoked.
