The ghost of a 24years old lady

I can't really remember the particular year this happened but I was in Secondary school (high school) and there's this particular TV show that we don't joke with. Whenever there's public electricity and time is 8:00pm, we make sure we leave whatever we're doing to watch the show. For Nigerians, you should know Super Story TV program.

One particular evening, there was light around 8:00pm and as usual, everyone gathered to watch the Tv program. "Everyone" here does not just mean my family members, but almost every neighbor in my compound and others from neighboring compounds...we were the only one that had Television then πŸ€—.

When the TV show ended by 8:30pm, half of the people dispersed to their homes and some stayed to continue watching other TV programs. I was among those that left the parlour immediately after the Super Story program ended, I went outside to have my convenience (urinate; we urinate outside at the backyard). When I got to the spot, I met this lady, Celestinal by name, urinating also. She came out to urinate like me after watching the TV program. Seeing that she was there, I had to step back and wait for her to do her thing before going for mine because she's a lady.

After she came out, I went and poured out all the water in me.
I was urinating when I heard cries of people coming from the frontyard, so I had to quickly rush to go and check what's up.
To my very own surprise, they said the lady that watched movie with us not quite long, I mean the lady I met at the urinary spot is dead.

I was like "it's not possible na, isn't she the person that all of us watched movies together and the lady I just saw at the backyard?" I quickly went back to the backyard to see if she's still there but she's gone.

According to how it happened, the lady was murdered by her lover around 7:30pm and the family got to know about it, exactly 8:20pm.

Did you get it?

She died around 7;30pm but was with us watching movie till 8:30pm...and the most shocking one is that, I saw her minutes passed 8:30pm.

It was concluded that her spirit was with us all through those moments...I guess she couldn't afford to miss that TV show that's why she came and watched.


I saw "Daddy Miracle" after 4months of his death

I remember the exact period this particular one happened. I was in JSS2 class when the news of the death of Daddy Miracle was announced, it was shocking and unbelievable to us because he didn't seemed like someone that'd die soon. It was an accident that claimed his life while he was rushing to farm on a bike.

Who is Daddy Miracle and his family? They were from a different state residing in our community (non indigene). The family comprises of the man, his wife and a 5years old baby called Miracle. We were neighbors in separate compounds.

After everything, the family moved back to their state to continue their life.

Then one hot afternoon when coming back from school trekking, I saw this Daddy Miracle in a mechanic workshop along the road. At first it looked like I wasn't seeing well, so I had to pause, cleaned my eyes to look carefully and for sure, my eyes didn't confused me, it was him, he was putting on a jean trouser and a jacket.

I told my colleagues on what I just saw and they never believed me. At that moment, I wanted to go and confirm if he's actually a ghost, by touching him or pouring sand at him, but the thought of creating a scene overshadowed that, and I left without confirming.

We were told that the easiest way to identify a spirit is to pour sand on him or her...

When I got home that day, I told my mom and all she could say was that I was terribly hungry and that affected my sight. She laughed over it but deep down my heart, I was so sure that I saw Daddy Miracle. I regretted not taking bold step to confirm if he's a ghost or not.


The Marine girl

Ruth was the daughter of one of my late uncles. After her dad and mom died, we took her in and she lived with us for few months before she was taken to the city.
Meanwhile, we noticed some unfamiliar behaviors from her when she stayed with us and it was confirmed that she has a connection with the marine kingdom.

I don't know about other countries but this case is rampant in Nigeria, where a child will be linked to the marine kingdom and these people(marine kingdom) visit the child often. It's called "Ogbanje" in Igbo tribe and "Akudaya" in Yoruba land.

When she left to the city, her guardian(my aunt) sent a message to the family at villa about this same disturbance on her life, they said they've taken her to different spiritual houses for deliverance but none of them yielded positively.

According to my aunty, she said Ruth falls sick in terrible ways every week and each time it occurs, they will start running helterskelter just to save her life which ends up draining their finances.

So my aunty and her husband decided that they can't continue with the issue and planned to return Ruth to the village.

The day that was scheduled for their to village journey, Ruth fell sick again and they decided not to bother taking her to the hospital since they've planned to return her home, so they took the bags and made way to the villa.

They had informed my dad already that they were coming that day, so he(my dad) left for farm early that day to return back on time.

I and my siblings at the other hand, had gone to school, so our house was totally empty.

I don't know how it happened that I forgot my art tools for Fine Art class, so I had to go back home around 11:00am to get the tools and on getting home, I met Ruth sitting in a chair in the corridor.

"Ruth baby, how are you? You guys came quite early, where is aunty that brought you?" I asked her as I hurriedly rushed inside the room to get the Fine Art tools.

"Good morning brother, aunty went to buy something in a nearby shop" she answered.

I was in a hurry, so I didn't stayed much to chat with her or wait for my aunt to return from where she went to buy something. So I zoomed off back to school.

When we closed from school, I met a crowd gathered in the compound, and I was told that Ruth died while they were on their way to the villa.
It was unbelievable to me because it was this Ruth I saw when I came home to collect Art tools. They all said I saw her spirit then 🀣

You have three great ghost stories, @kingsleyy. You also have a great imagination because it is impossible for the reader to know when you are 'lying'. One of the features in your story that stands out is your attention to detail. Many writers overlook this technique, but you apply it well.

It's obvious that you had fun writing this piece. That makes reading fun for the reader.

Thank you for sharing this with us. We appreciate that you support other writers with your comments.
