I have just posted  a poem "Tree-Ghosts of Purandhar Fort" where I took the army Training and was commissioned as Lieutanent as a college teacher in 1966.
As I was thinking about on the haunted houses theme inspired by Constance's contest, I remembered a real event that took place long back in 1966. As now I am visiting India, I looked at the old black and white pictures for inspiration.

Please share with me the poem and the photos by clicking "About This Poem" Button.
