The village of Bhairavpur had been abandoned for decades, swallowed by jungle and silence. Locals said no one who stayed after sunset ever returned the same. Curious and skeptical, journalist Ananya decided to uncover the truth hidden in its past.
As dusk fell, she walked through cracked lanes where houses stood frozen in time. Doors creaked open on their own, and the air smelled of ash and old incense. In the village square, she found a ruined temple with blood-red symbols carved into stone.
Suddenly, whispers surrounded her—voices of children, women, elders—repeating the same date. Ananya followed the sound to an old well. When she looked inside, the water reflected a burning village, screaming people, and shadowy figures with glowing eyes.
Her camera began recording by itself. A voice echoed, “Remember us.”
Ananya realized the truth: decades ago, the villagers were sacrificed during a dark ritual to save a nearby kingdom. Their souls were trapped, replaying their final night again and again.
At sunrise, Ananya escaped. Her article was published, but readers noticed something terrifying —every photo showed villagers standing behind her, staring. Bhairavpur had not been forgotten.
