It was late in the night around 12:30am. I was awake and bored, then an idea poped up in my brain, so I worked on it.
I sneaked into my sister's room and made away with her powder. I applied the powder on my face, and covered my body with a white bed sheet. I looked my self at the mirror, and yes I was looking like a spirit. I quietly open our door and came downstairs.
They were like eight flats in our building with eight families.
I came started making some strange noise, and was calling upon strange spirits😁
I saw when Stephanie's mom look at me and ran inside. I also hear different people locking their doors. I was happy that they were all scared😁😁
Even I heard Uncle Ben and his newly married wife dragging who will lock their door. "Benny go now, your the man of the house, lock this door before that spirit enters here" her wife said in fears
"Who told you am not scared? Am scared just like you are. Is like we better go together and lock it" uncle Ben replied his wife.
Then I increased my voice.

Something strange happened, as I was calling invoking the unknown strange spirits, I heard a strange noice like mweew. Suddenly our compound gate that I locked earlier open and close by itself.
"Blood of Jesus" I shouted and took to my heels
Boom something was coming after me.
I increased my speed as I ran upstairs but the thing increase its own speed too.
I reached out door and wanted to enter but it was locked.
Omg I hid myself at the back of our generator, the spirit keeps coming towards my direction.
Infact I urinated more than seven times on myself.
I closed my eyes and waited for end but to my surprise,the spirit touched mi and said
"Oh Diala Emmanuel is that you"
I recognize the voice and look up, it was my brother.
He wanted to scare the entire compound but ghat scared by my strange acting. While I was running for my dear life, he was running for his own too.

Have you ever wondered why thinking too much makes you tired? A new study has found out some answers to this question. Researchers from the Paris Brain Institute looked at why mental effort makes us tired. They found that when people think a lot, the brain releases a chemical called glutamate. Too much glutamate upsets the brain's functions. It means the brain tells the body it is tired and that it must rest. People who spend more than six hours working on a task that requires a lot of thought are more likely to feel tired. A period of rest allows the brain to return to normal. This explains why a power nap is good for us. A power nap can be as short as 20 minutes, but can make us feel totally refreshed.
The research team looked at the behaviour of 40 participants in their research. Twenty-four of these had to perform challenging tasks. These included looking at a computer screen and matching different letters that appeared. The other 16 participants did a similar, but easier task. Both teams worked for six hours, and had two ten-minute breaks. The researchers scanned the brains of the participants. They found that the group who had the more difficult task had higher levels of glutamate in their brain. Study author Antonius Wiehler said: "It would be great to find out more about how glutamate levels are restored." He asked: "Is sleep helpful? How long do breaks need to be to have a positive effect?"
