It was around 1999 when my uncle told me of a strange story involving some distant relatives of mine whom I do not know personally; I don't believe I've ever met them.
These people were traveling to the west coast of Canada through the country side. As people might know, Canada being the world second largest country and having a population of just over thirty three million people is probably the least densely populated country in the world.
The story is that these relatives were driving from one Canadian city to another through the countryside. It was finally getting dark and they were in desperate need for a place to eat and rest.
They felt lucky when they spotted a motel in the middle of the empty countryside. But something felt strange. All the cars in the parking lot were red like their own. They checked in and went to their rooms to sleep.
Later next morning they found that except for their car the parking lot was empty and the motel deserted. Puzzled, they decided to continue their trip, but one of them wished they had access to a telephone.
Suddenly, right in front of them a telephone raised out of the ground in front of the car. Frightened, the relatives started the car and drove away from the motel. But in the car mirrors there was no reflection of this strange motel.
They looked back where the motel should have been, only to see nothing. The motel disappeared as if it was never there.
When the relatives reached the nearest town, they explained to a person at a gas station about what they had been through.
The puzzled person at the gas station claimed there is no motel or any town or city on their route for days and that they were in the first town going westward on that route.

Paranormal Story: A house possibly haunted by Jinns.
Author's note: Stories such as this one does not reflect my beliefs in the supernatural. I am only repeating the details of an alleged incident I heard.
Me and my parents had close family friends in Pakistan who now live in North America like us but in a nearby town outside of the city we live in.
Ever since they moved out of Pakistan, their house in Karachi has been left empty for quite some time, I believe it has been kept up for sale by them.
A few years ago, they told me of a strange incident involving a relative of theirs in Karachi.
It was late at night and this relative was driving near their empty house, so he decided to enter their compound just to take a look as he wasn't sure if it has been sold yet.
He climbed over the gate and entered the compound. All of a sudden, an adult woman and a few children (I don't know exactly how many) came out and so he turned back towards the gate to exist the compound, not wanting to upset them of his unexpected presence.
As he was leaving, he decided to take a last look and so he turned back and to his surprise, the woman and children were hovering above the ground. Terrified, he climbed over the gate and rushed to his car and sped away.
When he reached home, he emailed his relatives- our family friends- about what had happened. Apparently, this relative of theirs was a non-believer in the supernatural.
Our family friends responded to his message stating that they too heard strange voices and were touched by un-seen things when they lived in that house.
It is a wide-spread belief in South Asian Muslim societies that homes left unoccupied for longer periods of time get taken up by Jinns.
During my summer holidays in Pakistan in 2006, I passed by the house during the day time and noticed nothing unusual. Even during my childhood, I used to visit that house a lot, but never did I see or sense anything out of the ordinary.

Paranormal story: A possible witch atack.
Author's note: Stories such as this one does not reflect my beliefs in the supernatural. I am only repeating the details of an incident I heard.
During the summer of 2002, I was on summer holiday in my home city of Karachi in southern Pakistan.
During my father's childhood, his parents adopted a son called Ibrahim. A few of Ibrahim's grand sons had become close friends of mine. His granddaughter, sister of my friends had come to spend the night and be with my grandmother.
I got into talking to her about the super-natural, though I don't remember how we ended up with that subject.
She told me of an incident involving her older brother Imran and his friends. They were driving in a van one night in the outskirts of Karachi. They were passing by an area full of thick shrubs and bushes where they spotted an old woman searching through the bushes. Seeing that it was late at night with public transport closed, they offered her a ride home.
The woman turned towards them and seemed to hear their offer and moved towards the van. As she came closer the men noticed something awkward about her: Her feet were pointed backwards.
In Pakistani mythology, a woman with her feet pointed the opposite direction is a witch.
Seeing this, the men quickly shut the van's door and tried to speed away. But this "woman" caught up to the speeding van and grabbed on. Next thing she was banging on the windshield and dug her really long, sharp nails into the van's surface.
The terrified men tried increasing the speed, but it seemed to do no good and by this time the "woman" was screaming violently. The men then recited an Islamic prayer from the Quran, and the screaming witch's nails snapped, causing her to fall off the van.
Early in next morning the men found the outside of the van scratched with a bloody nail still dug deep into the metal skin.
