I was coming from kandy to colombo in a bus. A guy approached me and started talking to me in a friendly manner. They queue was very long. Both of us were waiting to get a chance to hop in for a jumping seat (seat in the middle of the bus). As we got in luckily some one offered us a seat near the drivers . Soon he became very friendly and talkative. We started talking about jobs we do. He told me that he was an engineer. And soon the discussion turned in to economy of Sri lanka. Then it turned in to politics and war. We both enjoyed exchanging our ideas. After about 2 hours we were still talking, it was nice to have him, I didn't even notice the hectic traffic jams.
Then we were nearing the Vendol Factory its some where along the kandy-colombo road." Look at that bend, the incident i'm going to tell you happened in 1980's , there was not even one house in the vicinity of this area" He said."Me and my wife was driving towards Colombo, it was close to midnight" he took a deep breath. He was speeding when his wife pointed to a man walking along the road carrying a child. He observed blood on his clothes and the child seemed to be unconscious.The cilds head rythemically jerking as he was walking."She must be sleeping oruncosciuous,Lets give them a lift, must be going to the hospital" his wife said. He shifted from forth gear to the third gear to slow down the car.Man raised his hand to signal that he needs a ride. "Don't stop keep driving" Suddenly his wife cried.It made his step on the gas. As he was accelerating the man jumped in front of his car. It was too late to brake. The car stopped with a loud thud . They were shaking with fear, "We killed two people", they thought."I stepped out of the car expecting to see two dead bodies in front" He said. But he' couldn't see anything. Then he took his flash light searched under the car, arround, still nothing. He stopped a passing lorry and explained the incident to them. They all searched the nearby area for any trace but they couldn't. This made him to believe the unbelievable that it was a ghost. I asked him why his wife told him not to stop." She has seen many hands when the man raised his hand to stop the car" He said. This made me think of the paranormal incident reported all over the world. I have seen many documentaries in discovery channel about ghost hunting. May be there is a truth behind all of this.
