Facts about Ghost of Izmir

I myself and my family we both love to see new places around the world. Almost every year on our annual vacation we plan to visit a new place which we have never seen before. Our preference is always to go to a hill stations and enjoy our vacations over there. During our vacations we always have a lot of fun such as going to restaurants, bars, casinos and much more. But during our last vacation I encountered with a very horrible experience. 
.

On these vacations we planned to visit the historical city of Izmir, Turkey. In fact it was a suggestion coming from Adnan a Turkish friend of mine. Adnan told us a lot about this ancient city. At Izmir it was the season for tourists, all the hotels and motels were fully packed. Despite of my all efforts I was not able to have a booking in a hotel. Hotels fares were at the peak which was out of my range. Adnan helped me to book an apartment in the main city. This apartment was the property of a widow. I decided to go there alone to check that apartment either it was suitable for us or not, later after two days my family has to join me there. 
.
I landed at Izmir airport early in the morning. It was raining and the weather was very pleasant. I hired a taxi and was on my way to my destination. Landlady given me a warm welcome, she was in her 70s but was still very active. Breakfast was ready for me, after breakfast I checked the apartment and found it well equipped with all the necessities of life. Landlady told me that she is living in the next street which was at a distance of five minutes’ walk. 
.
In the afternoon I called my family and told them that the apartment is a good one and they can join me according to the schedule. About 11:00 PM I was in my bed, weather was cloudy and it was raining occasionally. At mid of the night I woke up with a surprise, I feel that someone has pulled my blanked. I remember that due to rain it was a bit colder weather and before sleep I have fully covered myself with the blanket which was now lying on the floor. I was in a surprise but by thinking that may be during sleep I myself pushed it away and thrown it on the floor. I checked the time it was 03 AM and morning was still 4 hours away. I switched on the side table lamp and went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee for myself. While I was about to enter the kitchen I feel that someone was already there. I stepped back a little with some unknown fear. I heard a female voice asking me to have a cup of coffee with her. I tried to peep inside the kitchen to see who is in there but to my great surprised the kitchen was empty. Suddenly from behind someone tapped on my shoulder, a wave of fear ran all around my body. I turned back in fear and found the landlady standing in front of me. First thing I asked her that how she managed to enter the house while all the doors and windows were locked and bolted from inside. She did not reply to my question and asked again would you like to have a cup of coffee with me? It was a cold day but I feel that I was sweating and shivering with fear. I rushed back to the bedroom where another surprise was waiting for me. Two cups of hot coffee was already there on the coffee table while the landlady was sitting on a chair near the coffee table. She took her coffee, peeped out of the window, turned back, starred at me and disappeared. 
.
I did not sleep rest of the night, early in the morning I left the house and went to the nearest restaurant for the breakfast. There was very few customers in the restaurant, my order was served quickly I noticed that manager of the restaurant was anxiously looking at my face. He came to my table and sat there in front of me. “Are you worried of something” he asked, No I am not I replied but also told him the whole story of last night. 
.
Restaurant manager told me a horrible story connected to that apartment. The landlady was died about 50 years back she was murdered by her husband. She was in love with some other person and used to meet her lover in the absence of her husband. Knowing the whole story her husband killed her and her lover and buried them in the bedroom of the same apartment. It was the same bedroom where I was staying in. Since last many years no one rented that apartment. It was the ghost of the landlady who used to cheats the people and even in some cases people were found dead in that apartment. 
.
The taxi driver was the ghost of her lover who used to cheat the people and took them from airport to the apartment. Two cups of coffee was also a mystery, one cup was for the landlady and the other one was for her lover. Other than her lover whoever took the second cup he was found dead in that apartment. Hearing this story I was about to faint, the restaurant manager sent his to employees with me to take my luggage back and guided me to the proper places which I have rented for.
