They would have been fine if they hadn't stopped for the stranger...

It was a gloomy, monsoon evening. After completing their monotonous and tiring work of almost a month, three carefree friends - Tina, Jason and Alice were on their way to Tina's farmhouse, which was about 150 kilometers from the city. They had planned to spend their weekend together, and were very excited about their 4-days trip.

All of them were chatting, playing games, clicking selfies, singing and having fun in the car, when suddenly a stranger came in front of it. A thin, pale-faced, nervous man, wearing shabby old clothes, stopped their car, appearing to be in an emergency. He asked Jason if they were going towards the Mexican lands, and could drop him at the Loreto Lands on their way, to which he agreed. Alice wasn't very comfortable with the stranger's presence, but then Tina convinced her by telling that he'd be there only for a couple of minutes, and it wouldn't do them any harm to help someone.

On their way, they spotted an old, ruined bungalow, and started making fun of it. The stranger told them that it was a very famous tourist place, and instead of making fun of it they should go and check it out. So, all of them went inside the bungalow. It was very dark inside, and the house was designed in an old-fashioned way. There was a lot of dust, and cobwebs were everywhere.

A few minutes later, Alice called out Jason's name, but there was no reply. She called out to Tina, but even she did not answer. Alice, then, moved about searching for her friends, when suddenly she saw an old picture of a man, with the dates of birth and death engraved on the frame. She went near the picture, only to find out that it was the stranger himself! Terrified, she turned behind to run, and saw the stranger's ghost standing there. He told Alice that the bungalow was his, and that he killed Tina and Jason because they made fun of it, and would kill her too. But then, Alice quickly showed him her Rosary and started praying to the Lord. The stranger's ghost cried loudly in agony and his body-parts started fading away gradually. Alice, then, ran out of the bungalow, along with the stranger's picture, got into the car and reached back home.

A few weeks later, she gave an article about this incident in the newspaper with the picture, so that other people would be warned and wouldn't stop for the stranger.
