in order to create an atmosphere of strangeness Ruskin Bond uses the most appropriate and suggestive words in the story .
the words in the line "when there was a strong wind the pine trees makes rgv sounds that kept most people to the main road "create an atmosphere of strangeness.the boy sitting alone on a rock in the forest at night look strange and mysterious.the description it has no eyes ears nose or mouth.it was just around smokehead with the school cap on top of it creates a strange frightening mysterious and Supernatural atmosphere.
a face in the dark is a Supernatural story and the writer makes the Supernatural look natural by artistic skill .but one should remember Ruskin Bond Supernatural story is neither frightning nor horrifying
