A few years ago, In the city of Hyderabad , a bus was started from Hyderabad to Vijayawada. A man, whose name was Joseph had stepped up to the bus. But his seat was occupied by another person. Joseph asked him to vacate his seat. But that person didn't vacate the seat and shouted back at him. Remaining passengers were also supporting that person. The bus was filled with most people than seating capacity. Joseph asked the bus conductor about issue. But the bus conductor also supported that person and asked Joseph to sit near to the bus door step. Joseph couldn't rise voice, went to the door step and sat there itself.

Bus driver was driving the bus at very fast, meanwhile driver overtaken others vehicles. Then the bus driver was doing so, suddenly with the arrival of lorry, He pushed the brake , turned the bus towards right turn, then bus collided with electric pole and stopped. Electric pole hit the bus door. Vincent was on the doorstep fell down from the bus and hit the electric pole, that led his death. Except Joseph Remaining passengers came out with small injuries.

After a few months

Same bus started from Hyderabad to Vijayawada. After going some distance, a fluid leak started from the top the bus. It was coming with very horrible smell. Passengers in the bus asked the bus driver to stop the bus and everyone got off the bus. Then the whole bus was cleaned for 2 days. But they didn't understand from where the fluid was leaked. After 2 days again bus was started from Hyderabad to Vijayawada. A lady sat on the second row from the last on the bus, With no one in the side seat, she was free to lie down. For a while she sensed that some was talking beside of her, she woke up and look sideway. Something in the side seat seemed to be sitting black. Immediately she screamed in fear.

Then bus conductor came and turned on the lights. When the lights on, there was no one there. Meanwhile the fluid started leaking from the above again, With more dripping, this time it also fell on everyone’s clothes. Immediately everyone came out of the bus. The driver and conductor together boarded the passengers into another bus. For that night. With this happening for the second time in a row, they took the bus to the garage and pulled out the entire top inside, there was nothing there, in addition to it was completely dry. Neither the driver nor the conductor understood where the leak had come from. Conductor name was bittu. When the first time a fluid leaked on the bus is during cleaning, he took some part of the fluid into the small bottle. He took the bottle and went to the bus owner. Bus owner, surya was from mechanical Field, he confirmed that fluid was not a motor oil or liquid.

Surya's friend was a doctor. In casual words he pointed to the bottle, told of fluid leakage from the bus. There was an unbearable smell as soon as the doctor opened the bottle. The doctor saw that and said he would tell it tomorrow. Next day doctor made a call to surya and told "when the man's body wasn't decomposed well, a unbearable would come out. It was like that ". Surya couldn't understand and started thinking. Meanwhile, he remembered the accident that happened a few months ago.

In fact after the accident, bus owner, surya arranged and sent the return bus along with the net ticket money to all the passengers. But No one took the Joseph's corpse from there. Doubt came to Surya as to what actually happened to the Joseph's corpse. He immediately went to the government hospital and made an inquiry about Joseph's corpse. The one who cremated the corpse was on leave even though he is regular. It was written in the register that the corpse had been declared as an identified body and had been regularized. Surya said that he would come again and got out of there. He did think that he shouldn't think any more about this matter, he thought that all this was a coincidence and left the matter. He called bus driver and conductor, Bittu and told them to take the bus for the trip again.

On the same night, the bus with half the passengers started from Hyderabad to Vijayawada. After half a distance, the sound of someone hitting the bus started coming. The sleeping passengers woke up. Conductor went to the end of the bus and looked out of the glass, but he could see nothing. The driver pulls the bus to the side. The two, driver and conductor got off the bus and walked to the back of the bus, where they found nothing. But The bus slammed into the trunk door.They did not understand what happened and how the bus got slammed. They boarded the bus again and started from there.

After a short distance the liquid started leaking again from the top of the seat where the conductor was sitting. Conductor Got up from the seat and started screaming. The driver looked back to the side to see what had happened. Meanwhile, the tractor broke down on the opposite road and stopped. The driver hit the brake, but still went out of control and caused an accident. The passengers who sat on 5 rows in front of the bus were lightly injured.

Then, The bus owner, Surya thought it was a paranomal activity with such incidents happening in a row. Without further ado he immediately met the Priest, told about the incidents on the bus. Priest asked where the bus was. He immediately took Priest to his yard and showed him the bus. Priest sensed some negative energy in the bus

Priest: Some rituals have to be done for this bus as well as for Joseph's corpse. Find out what happened to Joseph's corpse.

With that the Priest walked away. Surya immediately went to the governemnt hospital and met the on-duty employee.

Surya: what happened to Joseph corpse.
Employee: we cremated it(Hesitantly).

(Surya got doubt by looking at his face)

Surya: I give money, tell the truth.
( Surya gave the money to employee's hand).

Employee: The Joseph's body was crushed due to accident. The body was not sent properly from the accident spot. Some body pieces were still in the accident spot. Somehow it was clear accident so the doctor also did a formal postmortem. I did cremation.

The same day night, the bus driver and conductor and some others were drinking alcohol together in the yard. Everyone was gone for a while. But the bus driver was there due to an altercation with his wife at home. He got drunk and got on the bus and fell asleep. Suddenly, the fire started in the bus after midnight. People came around and tried to put out the fire but the whole bus was still on fire. The bus driver fell to his death on the bus.

Priest was there again after the fire incident.

Priest: Joseph Spirit is still on the bus due to improper rituals and unnatural death. There is nothing more to be done as the whole bus was on fire, let's do formal rituals for the safe side.

Then the that whole place was cleaned. Conductor Bittu, left the job and went to his home town. The entire Bittu's family was in the habit of boating, so he joined as a boat driver under a boat cruiser. When some of the friends who went on the trip boarded his boat, he shared the story with them.

After 2 years, One of the friends, again went to Bittu's Hometown for a vacation. But Bittu was not there, when he made the inquiry, he learned that Bittu had slipped on the boat a year ago and died. There was still a mystery to them (vacation friends)as to whether Bittu died naturally or Joseph did something else !.
