Tania gulped. "I know aunty. But in the dark, with these
strange noises and movements, I can't help feeling scared. I
am trying not be scared. I know in my brain that they are
not real, but my feelings won't listen to my brain."

Nisha's tone softened. "I know what you mean Tania. I
promise all of you, it is not a ghost. It may help if you
focus your mind on doing something. So lets hunt around and
try to figure out what is causing the sound."

Reassured the kids started hunting around. Tania got the
flashlight from her uncle's cupboard, so they could see
better. And then Vivek finally spotted the culprit.

"Yiiieee" Tanisha screamed and ran out of the kitchen. "Oh
my god! Oh help. Please" Nikhil shouted keeping a safe
distance. Nisha came from the other side of the room, to see
what was frightening the kids, so much more than the idea of
a ghost had.

But as soon as she saw it, she jumped on to the dining table
yelling, "Help! Do something. Get it out of here. Please
just get it out. She sat on the table head hidden in her
knees sobbing.
