Q 2. Is there a room in your house or a house in your neighbourhood/locality where you would rather not go alone, and never at night? If there is such a place and a story to go with it, let others hear all about it.

Ans. In our locality there is a primary school in which a basement has been made to gather the waste things like blackboard, table, chair, bricks and even the torn charts etc. Nobody is allowed to enter there as it is supposed to be haunted by some reptiles.
