We all would have heard haunting stories about the East Coast Road. But have you ever experienced it, for the fact I have. This is my haunting experience in ECR.
What is East Coast Road
Everyone knows East Coast Road aka ECR has been one of the haunting places in Chennai for long. With a good road stretch accompanied with the beach along with it, ECR is a bustling place by day for couples and friends to have an enjoyable ride, but becomes dark and frightening with the fall of sunlight and the poorly lit roads add extra fear to ECR. It is believed that ghosts and supernatural things have been playing around with people who use the road, mostly at nights and sometimes by day too.
My Experience
It was the time when Colleges were reopening. My cousin who finished his schooling was admitted in one of the architecture college located in the East Coast Road. He was to stay in college hostel, so we were to accompany him and drop him at college the day before the reopen of college. Packing stuffs took longer than we expected and so we were only able to start from home by 7 in the evening. I along with my cousin, his father and my other cousins brothers were the ones travelling in a Bolero Car. After a long journey of 3 hours, we reached the college. The college was in middle of nowhere. Surrounding had nothing for a range of 3 to 4 kilometers except small shops here and there. So, after settling my cousin in his hostel and some chi-chats with few advises to him from his father; we started from that college to home around 11:30.The return journey appeared a little longer as everyone was tired and sleepy but we weren't ready to sleep. Somewhere during our talks, suddenly the ghost topic came into speech. So, everyone started telling ghost stories. Don't we all love hearing ghost stories and that too in a situation like this, driving through a dark road where only light source are vehicle headlights. Rarely a few other vehicles came into sight and disappeared.
My turn to say a ghost story came. I read about a couple's ghost experience in ECR somewhere in the past from the internet. It appeared the best to say as we were also driving through ECR lonely. The Story is that
" A Couple along with their 4yr old kid were driving through the ECR during one chill night. Suddenly, along a dark stretch of ECR the car stopped and came to an halt. He tried to turn on it several times, but nothing happened. He checked out engine and other parts and all parts appeared to be functioning properly. But the car didn't start for some unknown reason. He was struggling with trying to start a car and was ready to give up. The entire family where slightly freaking out. After a while, the car suddenly started when he tried. He felt a bit relaxed that the car has started and prepared to drive. But when he adjusted the center mirror, he noticed a white shady silhouette at the back of his car. He straight away drove away from that place in full speed."
and I finished narrating my part and time for next one to say one. My cousin started saying his story that happened in his college.
Cars stopping for no reason in ECR is one mystery still in prevalence is what I read along with this story, but I didn't believe it until it occurred to us. Yes, you read it right. The exact scenario happened to us. A little later around 12:30.a.m, our car stopped and switched off along a stretch of forest line by the side. Now, who do you think freaked out the most. Yes, it was me who freaked out as hell. I wanted no one to get out and literally yelling at others in fear. My Uncle along with older cousin went to the front and started checking out the car. Everything seemed normal. My other cousin insisted to get some air outside. But I wasn't ready and wanted them to stay in. Everyone got out of the car except me. After many tries, the car didn't seem to start. One brother said there might be no petrol, but the tank was half full. I was freaking out to the core and spread a little fear to others too. Afterall I was the one who felt that we are facing the same thing from the story which I read. My uncle was calling someone and explaining the issue while my other cousins were having chit chats. And after a while, they tried starting the car again. This time the car started and was fine. I went into total fear mode. Others were teasing me seeing me in fear. But that inner feeling that I had was unexplainable to others. I checked the back of the car and relieved to find nothing. I kept silent and speechless through the remaining journey while constantly checking the back of the car. Once we reached home, I was the one most happy and that journey still stays in as a spooky memory to me. One big haunting experience for me. But still don't know why our car stopped there.
