16 Years

Joseph had been recruited in United States Air Force in 1994 and since then had been serving the country selflessly. Along with guarding the nation one more thing that held his passion was softball. He had enrolled himself in Charleston Air Force Base’s softball league and used to play there regularly. That day too he was going to the venue to partake in one of the games.

Family’s Reaction

Unfortunately, Joseph could not fight and died on the spot leaving behind his wife and parents. Joseph was too young to die and when his family learned about his fate the hell broke loose on them. His wife was at home when she got a call from the officer who broke the news to her. She rushed to the spot only to see her husband lying lifeless on the road. 

Sudden Goodbye

The family just had lost an integral and the most loved member of the family to death. When his parents saw him lifeless, they began to scream and cry. Tears were streaming down their cheek. It was very difficult for them to believe that their son was no more in the world.

Last Rites

They decided to bury their son with all the respects. The entire town came on his funeral in order to show their respect. No doubt it was going to take years for the family to move on. Especially after the bizarre incident that took place years after his death.

Rest In Peace

They buried Joseph in a nearby graveyard. After the full day of mourning, they went back to their home leaving him alone to rest in peace. Initially, the family kept visiting his grave everyday but after a while, the visiting would be made weekly and monthly after some years.  

Going Back

Joseph’s mother had not visited his grave for almost a year. His mother used to stay ill most of the time as she had grown quite old. But that day she felt an urge of visiting her son’s grave. Her instincts were so right.
