The creepy night

Hanging out with cousins is fun,  isn't it?, this is the tale of time when i was a kid. We had come to our village for jatra, a pooja in which we make offerings to god like goat, coconut etc. It is a big ritual which comes ones in several years, the whole family come together  to village at that time. 

As the family is big, I met all my cousins at the same time. It was very being there with my cousins but at the same time it was unacceptable for me to see an animal getting killed in front of me. As the ritual started and the goat was killed in front of my eyes, i and my cousins got scared & the same thing was rolling all over our mind. 


The same day we decided to sleep on the terrace of our home in village, eldest sister of us also told us that she just lost one of her friends as she commited suicide few days back because  she failed 12 standard exams. This made us more scared, as we were already  sleeping on open roof, and all the elders were sleepin in their respected rooms. The fear was of wild animals too.

Hence he wondered that all the stories from jaunsar were a myth & other engineers were not ready to go there, he got ready for the project of jaunsar. The day he reached jaunsar a cat tried to enter the flat alloted to him, which looked a little bigger than the normal cat. While the cat was trying to enter through the window, he threw wooden photo frame on the cat. He was really terrified by the cat because of it's abnormal size, he had understood that it was one of the witches of jaunsar. The next day when he woke up he noticed that one of the woman in
