Okay this story is about my friend who I'll call Ashu here. It all started after the marriage of Ashu's eldest brother following which his family, along with the newly wed, had shifted to their new house, the construction of which was started just prior to his brother's marriage being finalized. Earlier their family was living in a smaller house.
Anyways few days or months later (can't remember exactly) his brother (who had just married) died in a bus while travelling. His co passengers told that he suddenly started choking and suffocating so he opened the bus's window too but before anyone could understand what was happening he just died.
Some days after this death, his mother died in hospital due to some lung problem (again some breathing problem).
Again after a few days his maternal grandmother (nani) who was living with them died at night while asleep...
So all these three incidents occuring in a short span of time left their family in a very bad emotional state.
Luckily at that time Ashu was posted in Uttarakhand and one of contacts (IAS officer) got him a meeting with a pundit. And what he told me thereafter seemed straight from a BW horror movie.
Now this friend happens to be from SC category and let's just say he wasn't particularly fond of pundits or going to temples or believing even in astrology or sun signs. He scoffed at such things. So when he himself told me of the incident i was left wondering how is this guy saying such things. Though ofcourse knowing him for a long time, there was no reason to disbelieve him. But still what he told me is extremely hard to believe...
So that pandit came to their newly constructed house and after inspection told them to dig their veranda. Now they had already constructed a mosaic floor on the veranda and mosaic is very hard to break. Still they agreed and got it dug up. And what they found underneath was shocking. There were some things (i don't know exactly what but some paan supari and some other stuff) buried in the ground wrapped in some cloth or an earthen pot (don't remember what exactly).
So after that finding, the pundit organized a Pooja in their house and what happened was straight from a horror movie. I asked my friend again and again "are u sure this is what u saw happening" and he seemed equally shocked telling me "yes this is exactly what happened".
So during the pooja, a sort of hawan actually, the pandit had got them put some stuff (eggs, lemon sindoor and some other stuff) in a handiya (small clay pot) and had covered it with a red cloth. Now during the pooja everyone in the family was present when they saw that handiya lift in air (till some height) and then burst/break itself in midair. This is the point that was extremely hard for me to believe and i asked him again and again if this is really what he saw. And he confirmed everytime. If someone else had told me this i would have thought ki arre fenk raha hai but this was Ashu. I HAD to believe him. He isn't the kind if person who even remotely believes in much milder stuff, But here he was telling me such an unbelievable story with a shocked tone himself.
Anyways after that pooja, deaths in their family stopped. And his bhabhi (widow of his brother) left them to stay with father who got her remarried...
Okay. This seems straight out of an episode of Aahat or Fear Files. the ones where the episodes start with a newly-wed couple having their Grah Pravesh and then the milk turns black or some afshagun happens.
Feel sorry for your friend, hope he's in a stable emotional state now. Any idea who put those things in the verandah?
