The Woman in the White Sari (India)

 On the outskirts of a sleepy village in Bihar, there is an old, abandoned house. The locals call it "Bhoot Bangla," but they dare not go near it, for it is said to be haunted by the restless spirit of a woman in a white sari. The legend of the White Sari Woman has been passed down for generations, and its tale begins in the late 1800s. A beautiful young woman named Meera lived in the house with her husband, a wealthy landowner who was known for his arrogance and cruelty. Despite her beauty, Meera was a prisoner in her own home, subjected to her husband's abuse. She longed for freedom, for a life without the constant oppression of her husband's cruel ways. One night, Meera’s husband came home intoxicated, as he often did. He was enraged over a business deal gone wrong and lashed out at her, beating her in a fit of fury. Meera, weakened by the years of abuse, finally reached her breaking point. Desperate, she ran out into the night, her mind consumed by thoughts of esc...

The Dajjal's Curse (Pakistan)

 In the remote village of Dera Ghazi Khan, there exists a hidden well, deep within the mountains, shrouded by thick trees and an aura of forbidden mystery. The villagers never spoke of it, but the elders warned their children to stay far away from the cursed land surrounding the well. The legend told of a man named Ameer, who had traveled into the mountains centuries ago. He was a scholar, searching for ancient texts and secrets of the world. Ameer found a strange manuscript in a hidden cave—a book filled with forbidden knowledge. As he began to read, he unknowingly invoked the curse of the Dajjal, the Antichrist. The manuscript was a cursed artifact that bound anyone who read it to serve the Dajjal in his quest to bring chaos to the world. The moment Ameer read the final verse aloud, his body began to tremble, and his eyes turned bloodshot. His soul was no longer his own. The Dajjal appeared before him, a monstrous figure whose very presence exuded fear and despair. It spoke with ...

The Black-Eyed Woman of Rishikesh

 Rishikesh, nestled by the holy banks of the Ganges, is known for its spirituality, yoga retreats, and serene landscapes. But not far from the tourist-filled ashrams and temples, there lies a dark secret that has plagued the town for generations. This is the story of the Black-Eyed Woman, a spirit that roams the forests at night, preying on those who wander too far from the sacred river. Amit, a young backpacker from Delhi, arrived in Rishikesh seeking spiritual awakening. He had read about the mysticism of the town, the magic of the Ganges, and the peace that enveloped those who came with an open heart. But as his stay extended, he found himself drawn to the forests that lay on the outskirts of the town. The dense trees, the quiet murmurs of the river, and the smell of damp earth all beckoned him deeper into the wilderness. One evening, as he ventured farther than usual, the sun dipped below the horizon, and the twilight cast long shadows through the trees. He had come to a small ...

The Curse of Kuldhara Village

 In the vast desert of Rajasthan, there lies a desolate village called Kuldhara, long abandoned and shrouded in mystery. The village was once a thriving settlement, home to the Paliwal Brahmins, prosperous traders and artisans who lived under the protection of the Maharaja. But one dark night, the entire village vanished—its inhabitants, its animals, its homes—gone without a trace. What followed was a curse so powerful that to this day, no one dares to live in Kuldhara. Reena, an archaeologist with a penchant for uncovering the forgotten corners of India’s past, was intrigued by the legend of Kuldhara. The story had been passed down for generations, but no one knew what truly happened. Reena believed there was a scientific explanation—a hidden treasure, a mass migration, or something that could be rationalized. But deep down, a small voice whispered that there was more to this legend than history had told. Determined to uncover the truth, she set out to Kuldhara, accompanied by a s...

The Hunger of Black Hollow

 The town of Black Hollow had long been abandoned, its empty streets now overgrown with ivy and brambles, its once-proud houses falling apart under the weight of years and decay. The stories surrounding the town were as old as the land itself—whispers of things that shouldn’t be, of rituals in the night, and a hunger that could never be sated. Everyone who had lived there had left, and no one dared to speak of it. But there were always people who didn’t believe in the old stories. Evelyn Grant was one of those people. She had come to the town of Black Hollow to escape the broken pieces of her life, to bury the grief that had been eating her from the inside since the death of her sister. Her only family had vanished without a trace, leaving her with nothing but pain and unanswered questions. When the opportunity arose for her to buy a house on the outskirts of the town, she took it without hesitation, eager to start over and forget. The house she purchased was small, modest, but it ...

The Watcher in the Attic

 There’s an old house at the edge of town, tucked away behind a row of withered oaks, its windows darkened with age and neglect. It’s a place most people avoid, for there’s a story that goes with it. A story whispered by the townsfolk for years, one that has become as much a part of the house as its crumbling foundation. They say the house isn’t just abandoned—it’s haunted. When Marcus Cole, a young journalist looking to make a name for himself, arrived in town, he scoffed at the rumors. He was here for a story, after all. Not some fanciful tale of restless spirits and shadowy figures. His assignment was simple: write about the local history, the people, and the places that had shaped the town’s character. But there was one name he kept hearing wherever he went—the name of the house at the edge of town. The house had been empty for years. The last family to live there, the Millers, had vanished without a trace. They’d been a quiet family, the kind that kept to themselves, and no on...

The Silence of Hollow Creek

 In the small town of Hollow Creek, nestled deep in the Appalachian mountains, there was a secret older than the land itself. It was whispered about in the corners of local diners, murmured over the weathered wooden bars of the local tavern, and spoken of in hushed tones, never to be repeated aloud after dark. Yet, for all the warnings, for all the fearful glances over shoulders, people continued to wander into the woods, as they had for generations, unaware of the ancient curse that awaited them. Olivia Turner had heard the stories. She had grown up with them, even. As a child, she had found them fascinating—eerie tales that made her heart race and her eyes wide with wonder. The older folks spoke of strange happenings: missing pets, lights flickering in the woods at night, and a lingering sense of being watched by something... something not quite human. But now, at twenty-three, she was more skeptical than scared. Olivia had returned to Hollow Creek to help her grandmother, who wa...
