The Jacket in the Cemetery | A True Ghost Story
Ghost Story: The terrifying truth about the beautiful teacher an engineer met at a village wedding after his car broke down. An encounter with a dead spirit and the mystery of the jacket left at the cemetery.
Necdet Durmaz, an engineer, set out on a journey in his own car. He had been assigned by the company he worked for and was traveling from Istanbul to Malatya. A malfunction at the factory there needed to be fixed urgently. However, his car broke down while passing through the Mucur district of Kırşehir on his route. He immediately sought help from the villagers. Since it was evening, no one could do anything. Necdet Durmaz would have to spend the night there and have the car towed to a nearby town in the morning. He was immediately given a place in the village guesthouse.
After resting here for a while, Necdet Durmaz went to see the village headman (muhtar). The headman, thinking of every detail to host his guests in the best way possible, told him not to worry about the car and that they would solve the problem. The headman invited Necdet Durmaz to the wedding celebration to be held in the village square that night.
When he arrived at the village square, the entire crowd had gathered there, celebrating. Drums and zurnas were playing, and the villagers were performing the halay dance. After a while, Necdet Durmaz walked to the back of the crowd to get away from the noise. Where the trees began, he saw a very beautiful girl standing alone. He approached her and introduced himself. This young girl worked as a teacher in the village; she had come from Istanbul. They walked together into the grove. Since the weather was quite cool, Necdet Durmaz gave the young girl his jacket. Where the grove ended, a hill began. The young girl said she shouldn’t accompany him further, that her house was behind that hill. They parted ways there.
Necdet Durmaz couldn’t get the young girl out of his mind, neither that night nor the next morning. He wanted to see her again. He went to the headman, explained the situation, and wanted to learn something about the young girl. However, as he told his story, the headman listened to him in astonishment. Because the teacher he mentioned had died in a house fire the previous winter!
The headman couldn’t convince Necdet Durmaz, and together they went behind the hill to the house, whose ruins still stood. It was impossible for Necdet Durmaz to comprehend this. All the information he had given was correct, yet he was being told that this young woman was no longer alive. Finally, the headman couldn’t bear it anymore and took Necdet Durmaz to the young girl’s grave. When they entered the village cemetery, a surprise awaited them: On a distant tombstone, Necdet Durmaz’s jacket was hanging!
