This strange happening occured a long time ago. It happened to my dad, who is currently visiting his family in India. -

Before my dad was married, he decided to get into priesthood. One night, he was sleeping with the other priests, when he heard a crashing, clattering noise of plates and spoons bashing into eachother. He felt really disturbed but the other priests didn't seem to be worried. When he asked about the strange occurance, he was told that the preist house was supposedly built over a graveyard. The priests said that the spirits would get angry from time to time, and that would explain the clattering noises. Since my dad was new and not yet a priest, he decided to try and prove to everyone that no "ghost" had caused the commotion. He wasn't much of a believer, so he agreed to check it out himself.

One night, he went down a flight of stairs to the kitchen and saw all the plates and cuttlery bashing into eachother, and got really spooked. He ran up the stairs and into the bathroom. But when he reached the bathroom, he saw a head of a witch in the toilette and it was laughing at his face he got so freaked out.

Another time, he was in the room where the boarding school students slept. It was a hot night, and the children had to sleep under mosquito nets to avoid getting bitten. In the middle of the night, my dad heard the same clattering noise but wasn't to afraid. The only problem was that the children got reallt frightened. My dad went back to sleep, thinking that nothing would happen to the children, but he was awoken again. He saw all the boys huddled up in a corner with a single mosquito net covering them. They repored seeing the same "head" in the room.

From those and other experiences in that priest house, my dad decided to give up priest hood and begin a normal life without any unexplainable happenings. This was only a few of the ghostly experiences my dad excountered. I wonder from time to time if i could be a target of these things.
