BCCI president Sourav Ganguly recalled a scary incident from his childhood when he spotted a ghost. He shared his experience in a chat with Sportskeeda.

Ganguly was a teenager when he went to his roof and believes to have seen a ghost running on the boundaries. 

“I have seen a ghost in my house. There was a young boy who used to work in my house, it was a Sunday evening, I was upstairs and I was spending time with family. I was young, about 12-13 or, and one day I was told to ask the boy to make some tea. So I went to the kitchen and I didn’t see him.

"They asked me to go look for him on the roof, I went there and couldn’t find him. Then they asked me to go look for him in one of the huts. As I went there, I saw him running on the boundaries of the roof. It was a six-storied house and if he were to fall, he’d be smashed,” Ganguly told hosts Indranil Basu and Shanivi Sadhana on Sportskeeda’s ‘Free Hit’.

“I ran downstairs and told my uncle he had gone mad. We all went up and didn’t see him, I thought he was dead and he was gone. We kept searching for him, and we have huge palm coconut trees next to our house. He was lying on one of those big leaves, he was about 30 years old back then,” he added.

Ganguly further added that fire brigade was called to take the house servant to the hospital, but after he wasn't cooperating with them, they tied the guy with ropes.

“Next day was a holiday, so he came back at 5 PM and everyone started running away seeing him. He said ‘No no don’t do it,’ because he said his mother gets into him on certain days of his life. So I’ve seen it (ghosts),” the 48-year-old said.

The ex-India captain is looking after his fitness and hasn't had a biscuit for the last nine months. He also talked about his love for Biryani.

“Biryani is my cheat day food. I look after my diet for six days a week and I eat anything and everything on one day. It keeps me going for six days. The cheat day would be Biriyani, sweets, samosas, jalebis, and everything,” Sourav Ganguly added.
