Heyy baby!!! Any story to share (like a ghost story)
Aree I am really sorry, I saw this ask really late but yeahh I have one um... Nahi two stories.
1. Thereโs a Punjabi folklore spirit called Saleda, believed to be a shapeshifter that lingers in dense, deserted areas. People say itโs rarely heard of now because forests have shrunk and places arenโt as isolated anymore, but back in the older days, stories of encounters were much more common.
One such story comes from my motherโs maternal uncle. He was a wrestler, and once, while returning from a tournament, it got quite late. His bullock cart got stuck midway on the route. Even though he had the option to wait or ask for help, for some reason he decided to move ahead alone. The path he chose was less used โ people usually avoided it after sunset.
After walking a few miles, he saw a bull standing right in the middle of the road. Something about it feltโฆ off. It was larger and far stronger-looking than any normal bull. As he cautiously stepped closer, the bull suddenly began to change its shape, growing even bigger and more unnatural.
Thatโs when he realized, it wasnโt an ordinary animal. It was the Saleda.
I donโt really know what that spirit gains from these encounters, but it almost feelsโฆ lonely in a strange way. People say it harms you, but not to the point of killing you.
According to what Iโve heard, if someone ever comes face to face with a Saleda, they have only a few ways to deal with itโ either confront it and stand your ground, or try to scare it off by shouting harsh abuses, or remove every bit of your cloth (completely naked) . Itโs believed that it has a sense of sharam, which is why such behavior can make it back off.
So yeah coming back to the story, he decided to fight with that spirit because he was a wrestler, the spirit changed it's form from a bull to wrestler to bull and so on and he also fought with the spirit till morning. After the dawn the spirit disappeared but Mumma's mamu got ill badly and after two days he died. People says that on the night when he died a black cat came to the dead body and before the car could touch his head a person woke up and the cat left. They believe that it was Saleda because he doesn't wanted to take his life .
Also when he died he was in his 20s only
The other incident happened with me , not the one with Saleda but something unstelling. If you want to know about that too you can send another ask. But now cous I thought about that I am going to listen to Hanuman Chalisa ๐๐ป
