I Never Thought This Would Happen... Until It Did
The old house stood on a small hill, a bit away from the town. It had been in my family for years. To me, it was just a place we visited sometimes. A place with old furniture, a big garden, and lots of memories. I never thought anything truly special would happen there. I was wrong.My name is Maya, and I've always been more of a city person. I love the busy streets, the tall buildings, and the feeling that something exciting is always about to happen. The old house felt... quiet. Too quiet.My grandmother, Elara, lived in the house. She was a kind woman with a warm smile and a love for stories. Every time we visited, she would tell us tales of the past, of our family, and of the house itself.

Mysterious Red Sari Spirit & Haunted Tamarind Tree
The incident happened with his elder uncle, but at the request of Tapas Bhai, we are keeping his elder uncle’s name confidential. The time frame of this incident was around 1994 or 1995. During that period, the Bila (wetland) would have a lot of water in the rainy season. One day, Tapas Bhai’s uncle brought a kind of item made from palm leaves, called “Kunda” in the village language. He had gone to cut grass and also to collect Kachuri leaves and similar things for the cows’ feed. While bringing back those things for feeding the cows, there is a place near Baktarpur Bila. This place is, well, how should I put it, an area with trees, a homestead-like place. There stands a Hijal tree there. When his uncle was returning, he sat down under that Hijal tree to rest for a while. While resting absentmindedly, he broke a branch off that Hijal tree. After resting, he normally returned home. Once home, he fed the cows the grass and Kachuri leaves he had collected. Everything seemed fine, but that very night, the uncle suddenly started acting mad. He began speaking incoherently, did not want to stay indoors, and left the house. He scolded his family members and spoke nonsense to everyone. No one was able to hold him back—one person alone couldn’t restrain him, and even many together could not. He left the house. The uncle felt as if something had possessed or affected him in a bad way. When that negative force acted upon him, he felt as if someone was sitting on him, his chest became heavy, and it felt like a heavy stone was placed on his chest. He could hardly speak properly. This problem lasted similarly for about five to six days and then went away. He became completely normal, and everything—his words, behavior, and actions—were perfectly fine. About a month after this incident, the problem started again. One day, suddenly, the uncle couldn’t be found anywhere. No one could find him, and everyone started searching all around for him.

American Psycho
For the 25th anniversary of her satirical thriller "American Psycho," director Mary Harron expressed deep bewilderment while speaking with Letterboxd Journal. She noted how truly perplexing it is to see "Wall Street Bros" regarding her film's main character, Patrick Bateman—a sociopathic New York City investment banker and serial killer (played by Christian Bale)—as an idol. As GQ magazine proclaimed a few years ago: "TikTok’s toxic worshipping of Patrick Bateman is another sign young men are lost." Harron further stated, "I’m always so mystified by it. I don’t think that [co-writer Guinevere Turner] and I ever expected it to be embraced by Wall Street bros, at all. That was not our intention. So, did we fail? I’m not sure why [it happened], because Christian’s very clearly making fun of them… But, people read the Bible and decide that they should go and kill a lot of people. People read ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ and decide to shoot the president. American Psycho” director Mary Harron marked the 25th anniversary of her satirical thriller by speaking to Letterboxd Journal about how puzzling it is to see “Wall Street bros” idolizing Patrick Bateman, the sociopathic New York City investment banker and serial killer played by Christian Bale in her film. As GQ magazine proclaimed a few years ago: “TikTok’s toxic worshipping of Patrick Bateman is another sign young men are lost.”

True Story | The Mysterious Flute & The Jinn of the Village
The incident took place sometime in the 1960s in a village where, at that time, there was not such a dense population and it was not as developed. This incident involves two brothers, one named Hafiz Uddin and the other Karim Uddin. Their ancestral home was in Katali village in Netrokona district. Hafiz and Karim were indeed two brothers, with Hafiz being the elder and Karim the younger. The brothers owned some rice fields, and since there was a lot of theft occurring at night—where thieves would cut and take away the ripe rice—it was common for homes to be robbed as well. During the night, it had become a regular affair for someone to sneak in and harvest the ripe rice. Therefore, they needed to guard this ripe rice.

The Room That Remembers
Evan Delgado had never been superstitious. As a software engineer with a logical mind and a knack for debunking ghost stories, he often scoffed at anything remotely paranormal. So when he found a shockingly cheap apartment in the heart of an otherwise overpriced neighborhood, he didn’t hesitate. The landlord, an elderly man with a cataract-clouded eye, seemed eager to sign the lease. Maybe too eager.

The Man in the Mirror Blinks First
No one ever believes Thomas when he tells them how it started. Maybe because it sounds like a metaphor. Or madness. But for him, it was Tuesday, 7:42 a.m., standing half-asleep in front of his bathroom mirror with a toothbrush drooping from his mouth.

The Last Passenger So, she hopped on the train. Although, she was not the only one…. Content Warning.
It was just about midnight when Maya walked down the stairs. There were very few people at the station, just the noise of the wind blowing the old newspapers on the floor. The train rolled in, which was the last time that night, and it was not easy to see as its lights made their way through the dark. Maya tightly hugged her coat around herself and entered the nearest carriage.

Whispers of Velwadi
Tucked between the folds of the Sahyadri hills was the forgotten village of Velwadi. With moss-covered rooftops and crooked banyan trees, it looked like a place suspended in time. People spoke of Velwadi in hushed tones, not because of nostalgia, but fear.
