Ok....long threat. Probably laughable / disregardable-able. I hesitate to post this in today's world of unverified and fake news but more due to the reactions this might generate. Anyway, I need to post it regardless due to a promise. 1/n

2/n: a promise to what I *think* was a ghost who gave me a nightmare a few weeks ago. Details are sketchy and like I said, I do not want to post any long, detailed but UNCONFIRMED stuff on any SM. But, a promise is a promise and better late than never so, here goes!

3/n. In the nightmare, I was running around in a jungle with a few other people in daytime (no idea who), so none of the hand-coming-on-the-shoulder-from-behind stuff. All of a sudden, we came across a swimming pool....in the middle of the jungle (yeah...I know.)

4/n. There was a body in the water, in a red dress - not a gown type dress but figure hugging, knee length. Again, I'm unsure of the clothes etc. It was a dream/nightmare so details are sketchy. I think the figure was good / decent.

5/n For some reason, we decided to get in to see who it was. Maybe we thought she was drowning because she was not moving, & we assumed the worst. As I reached closer, the water in the pool suddenly disappeared and so did all the people around. It was just this young woman and me

6/n: She was suddenly standing and so was I, completely dry. I don't remember the face but I remember thinking she was a reasonably good looking / attractive person. Out of the water, there was no drowning, no need of rescuing and I wondered what the hell is happening.

7/n: Maybe around this point is when the dream turned into a nightmare. Her face suddenly changed from a usual, girl-next-door to a TV ghost face! In my mind, grey face, bloody but black eyes, bloddy lips? Not sure, but sure was scary.

8/n: For some reason, I was suddenly supposed to be freaked out and running, with this girl/woman following (chasing?) me.
I woke up a couple of times to try and get out of this nightmare but both times, nightmare resumed. Now, here is where shit got REALLY scary for me:

9/n: I shut my eyes tight and tried to focus my mind on just blankness, to force it away from dreams, conscious of nothing but whatever we see when we close the eyes & mind. I succeeded for a few short seconds...and that's when I suddenly felt something *intruding* that darkness.

10/n: A hollow circle of something entering unbidden, uninvited...not something i can say my mind or dreams made up but as if something came from OUTSIDE my mind!

This was a violation! But scarier was was the EASE at which it occurred!!!

11/n: In the space of seconds, I wondered if this is a kind of precursor to being possessed? Like most people, I too have no knowledge of the occult and unlike normal situations where I may try to understand what I don't know, in this case, I was caught by fear of the unknown.

12/n: Mentally, I raced for a way out and quickly said to the invader sumthing like: "Look, I don't know who you are or why you are here. I don't want to be possessed & used. Since you are forced to use this form of communication, I guess there is something left unfulfilled?

13/n: Unfulfilled from your past life or a message you want to give. I'm willing to help in whichever way is possible for me. As soon as I said this, a picture flashed into my mind. Here's where it maybe gets funny to most readers: It was a picture of - wait for it -.......

14/n: - a candlestick chart & hashtag of Bharat Rasayan, showing a sudden drop from the highs of the pre-covid days!!!
With this, the feeling of invasion of my mind also vanished. I was confused and asked mentally - "you want me to post this story online?

15/n: Did something happen to you at or due to someone related to this company? If yes, this is very very thin and no one will believe it. The best I can do is post our encounter on twitter...nothing more.
And with that, the feeling of any 'communication' vanished.!!

16/n: There was a lingering stillness / silence. Except for the sound of the fan, there was...nothing. I went to sleep. There were no further nights like this and I took no action on writing this story down, until today. The whole thing seemed BS after so many days.

17/n: At the very least, this seemed bullshit. And at worst, I would be sling unsubstantiated mud, at an entire organisation! Forget about specific individuals! The reason to post it is that after so many days, I still haven't got it out of my head.

18/n: What if this was not just a nightmare but a genuine plea for help, though admittedly thin?? They say god works in mysterious ways. I have less than a handful of twitter followers. I don't know who will take note, what ball will these series of tweets set rolling.

19/n: All I can think is that I made a promise and failed to do anything about it till today. So, if it really was a ghost, then to her I say: #BharatRasayan!

20/n: I hope this was just a nightmare, the mind playing tricks of a weird sort. I hope there was no harm done to a young woman at or due to anyone even remotely associated with this company. I hope none of this boomerangs on me.

21/n: I hope - if it was a ghost - she and her family can move on...and that god provides comfort to them in his/her/it's mysterious ways, that whatever happened, happened for good.

n/n: One thing I know for sure: It sure did NOT feel like a BUY recommendation!
