A forest officer had shifted to an old bungalow in the city. It was adjacent a deserted cemetery. One dark night, the officer saw a dusky, womanly figure vanishing into the cemetery. She wore a beautiful white lace wedding gown. The veil covering her long, silky hair rustled as the wind blew. Thick smog followed her like a shadow. Curious, the officer followed the woman. The woman now stood in front of a tomb, mourning loudly. “Do you need help?”said the officer. The woman lifted her veil and turned around. The officer froze with horror. She had a white face, with burning red eyes. Her laugh was blood-curdling. Then, suddenly, she started walking towards him. Her eyes gleamed in anticipation. Just then, the cemetery caretaker screamed, “Sir, it’s a banshee! Run!” The officer directed his torch on to her face, blinding her temporarily, and ran.
