Conjuring the movie is supposed to be the best scary story ever told... True I saw the movie and YES it is scary but I feel the best ghost stories are felt/told/seen daily in Tea garden bungalows across Duars/Assam area and I have been in some personal ones myself while we lived in huge double storied Chung Bungalows all over Duars and Assam. some of the ones I have experienced are told here and tea planter friends will smile as they too have had their share of stories too and maybe in the same gardens/bungalows. 1958 me 10 years and my father was Asst Manager Factory in Dewan Tea Estate (Then Tarapore Tea Company Ltd/Macneill Barry) Our Bungalow was directly opposite the factory main gates and behind our bungalow was another bungalow which had to be abandoned as it was haunted... The word was that the Asst Manager years ago who was a Gora Sahib had died (murdered??? sucide) Well stories were told differently by each to an audience who wanted to listen... well I have heard music and lights burn on some nights and our dogs bark that eerie sounds when worried and I had a pet monkey Raja who would be uncontrollable at times too. Later after Baba was transferred we learnt that the bungalow was destroyed and broken down by the New Manager also a Gora who as stories go got disturbed by sounds........... 1964 me 14 years and Baba acting Manager of Baghjan TE and we lived in the next garden Digelltrunk T.E Upper Assam and day one of my coming from boarding school and during the afternoon Tea session at home before Baba left for the factory and I saw the Bearer serve a cup of tea to an empty table and do "Sallam" and bow and THEN only was Baba served tea. I thought that to be funny as Ma was beside me and my elder sister next to me and baba with us.... So who was the guest??? After a little while the Bearer came back and burned a match stick in the air and bow and go away.... i was laughing away to glory and my Baba asked me to come in the jeep with him as he left for the factory. He told me never to laugh again when this happened as the Bearer (House boy) who did the job offered tea to a Gora sahib who had expired years ago and the story was that he could see him wanting tea. That was worrying for me and thanks heaven Didi slept in the same room with me.... Funny thing was Baba smoked but never a cigar and we could get some cigar smell every afternoon.......... 1966 Baba expired in Kalline T.E and during the 1965 war with Pakistan I had come home during the Durga Puja holidays just to be in Jatinga Tea Estate where birds in thousands would assemble at dusk and dive from high above and commit suicide at a particular spot on Laxhmi puja day... We would stand on a rock with a bamboo stick which was half hallow with burnt mobile oil inside with cloth stuffed inside the barrel and then lit like a torch... The birds would see those lights and just dive into it... Just like that.... Lots of explanation and lots of theories but why just for that one week ..... I am sure YOU have your stories so just bounce it off.... COUNJURING>>>>>
