The Haunting of Liaquat Bagh: A Rawalpindi Horror Tale
Rawalpindi, a city rich in history and culture, has long been a hub of political and social activity. However, beneath its bustling streets and vibrant markets, eerie tales of paranormal occurrences lurk in the shadows. One such tale revolves around **Liaquat Bagh**, a park known for its historical significance but whispered about for its dark, supernatural secrets.
A Night of Terror
Arif, a 26-year-old photographer, had always been skeptical of ghost stories. He believed in logic, science, and facts. That was until one fateful night in Liaquat Bagh, when he decided to capture the park’s eerie beauty after dark. The park, famous for political rallies and the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan, carried a heavy aura of tragedy. Yet, Arif dismissed the superstitions, determined to prove them wrong.
At around 2 AM , he set up his camera near the old fountain, adjusting his lens to capture the dimly lit pathways. The silence was unsettling, broken only by the occasional rustling of leaves. But then, as he reviewed the images on his camera, he noticed something strange. In the distance, behind the trees, stood a shadowy figure, barely visible but unmistakably there.
His heart pounded. He turned towards the spot where the figure should have been, but nothing was there. A cold shiver ran down his spine. He convinced himself it was a trick of the light or an anomaly in the lens. But as he continued taking pictures, the presence grew stronger.
The Whispering Wind
As Arif moved deeper into the park, an unseen force seemed to follow him. He heard faint whispers, unintelligible murmurs, as if someone was speaking just beyond his understanding. The wind howled through the trees, but there was no wind that night.
Then, he felt it—a soft, icy breath against his ear.
"Leave..."
Arif spun around, his flashlight cutting through the darkness. But again, there was nothing . His body trembled, but his curiosity overpowered his fear. He lifted his camera and took another shot. The flash illuminated the path ahead, and this time, he saw it clearly.
A woman in white , her face obscured by a dark veil, stood under the lamplight. She did not move, did not blink. Just stood there, watching.
Arif's hands went numb, his body frozen with fear. He didn't wait to rationalize what he had seen. Grabbing his camera, he ran as fast as he could towards the park’s exit. As he reached the gates, he dared to look back one last time.
The woman was now closer, her veiled face inches away from his own.
His vision blurred, and the next thing he knew, he woke up on a hospital bed. A passerby had found him unconscious outside the park, clutching his camera. When he checked the photos the next day, his blood ran cold.
The last image taken before he blacked out was not of the woman.
It was of himself—but with her standing right behind him, her face no longer veiled, her hollow eyes staring into his soul.
