Lights. Camera. RCNM.

The Editor's Note We all love Hallowe'en, don't we? At least, I am fascinated by those jack-o-lanterns, those spooky face paints, the whole eerie feel! Lights. Camera. RCNM. Vowed to bring the Hallowe'en-esque ambience to the digital world. And here we are! Nearing the end of the 'Fortnight Of Terror'. The core object of the project was, excuse the language, to scare the sh*t of out of our readers. Well, we may have missed that mark, we did provide our readers with a spooky experience. Personally, I did enjoy every article, right from the Camping Trip to Taken. They're were incredibly engaging with that supernatural appeal about them. And Rtr Aakash Rathi, the project chairperson along with the whole of Editorials avenue, did surely ensure to cross all boundaries, break all records and celebrate the festival before the world ;) I wonder why I can't sleep peacefully at night yet..

The child's-eye view of his parents' deteriorating relationship — and sanity — is meant to dredge up uncomfortable memories of childhood's confusion and powerlessness. 2. Haunted:...

I'm not a firm believer in ghosts and spirits, as such, but during the wee hours of the night when I have to sleep, it's ALL I can think about, and, it scares me. My best friend believes in everything related with the supernatural, and she's had many stories to tell us about the kind of eerie things happening in her life. Last year, for my birthday the four of us were up at my terrace late in the evening. We were just watching some movies and eating, when all of a sudden she wanted to leave and go back downstairs. Under no circumstances was I packing up and leaving to go down when it was so nice up there. She swore she saw some strange whitish figure in the adjoining terrace at least three times, swooshing past our side of the terrace, she was terrified. Obviously we didn't leave until we were done, also as we went down, nothing happened. I still go up to my terrace for listening to music and to relax for a while, but now, even though I kno...
