The Haunted Beach

"I was into my early twenties on 31st December 2007. My college friends and I wanted to do something different than the usual parties. So the five of us went to a liquor store, bought a few beers and started driving on the East Coast Road (E.C.R) freeway. This road is a scenic beauty, with the beach on the left side and bamboo trees all along giving it a spooky feel while driving at night. Now, one of my friends suggested going to the 'Ghost Beach'. I think everybody knows about the Tsunami that hit the southern part of Asia in 2004 (Dec 24th) killing more than 5 lakh people. India lost around one lakh lives. Ghost Beach got its name only after the tsunami had washed away an entire fishermen village in floods, it is believed that the beach is haunted. We all decided to go to the beach before 12 and party there for New Years, which wasn't a good idea, but then we wanted something different for the New Year, so we did end up going.
As soon as we entered the place, the mood became a little sad, this one friend started talking about his deceased girlfriend and started crying. The other one started speaking about how his mom died. We did not know why were talking about such things, but the place made us really gloomy. We went and checked out the broken buildings, schools that still had the broken toys of the kindergarten students. It was very, very depressing. So we drove to the shore and started drinking. We hadn't even had a sip of the beer, when suddenly we heard a woman screaming like she was calling out to people around the neighborhood for help. We thought somebody was trying to molest a girl, so my friend started the car to turned on the lights. We could not see anybody. But all of us wanted to help, so we started following the voice before we realized that the place is completely deserted, there was no one at this time of the hour, let alone a woman.
I alarmed my friends , and asked to regroup immediately. One friend was missing. We tried calling his phone but he wouldn't answer. We turned on the flashlights from our phones and searched for him everywhere, but in vain. When we got back near the car, we saw him sitting inside the car, crying. He stopped the ignition and turned off the lights immediately. Scared, we told him it was us, but he wouldn't believe. I went and sat next to him, to comfort him. We decided to leave the place immediately. Since it was a single road, we had to reverse the car all the way, until we reach the highway. As soon as I started the ignition, I saw a old woman standing in front of the car with her head down. Her hair was covering the face and it looked as if she was staring at us. All of us screamed and I started reversing the car as fast as possible. The lady started running towards us, gaining speed with every passing step. Luckily we came to the highway and sped to the city immediately. We did not utter a word to each other in the car.Later, when we discussed about it to the locals near to the village, they said spotting the woman was a common occurrence. It is believed that on the day when the Tsunami struck the village, she was calling out for help. The ambulance could not reach the village as the road was too small. Many of her villagers, including her, died there."
