About The Book

This collection of Marathi short stories explores the eerie and mysterious world of ghosts and spirits that are deeply ingrained in folklore and superstition. These supernatural beings are said to haunt abandoned ruins, wells, and cemeteries, lurking in the shadows and waiting for their moment to emerge.

Among the characters in these tales are the Hadal, who resides in wells and takes the form of a beautiful woman; the Munja, who can be found on a Peepul tree; and the Pimparni, Banyan, and Neem trees that attract groups of ghosts similar to monkeys. These spirits are calm and quiet during the day, but as night falls, they awaken and can appear in any guise.

It is said that their feet often face backward, though this isn’t always the case. On moonless nights, these spirits are said to prowl with even more intensity. To encounter them or even talk about them on such occasions is considered highly dangerous.

With spine-chilling tales that will leave you questioning what’s real, this book invites readers to step into a world where the supernatural and the everyday collide. The stories not only entertain but also evoke a sense of wonder and trepidation, making this collection a must-read for lovers of horror and folklore.
