And tomorrow morning I will come with someone and take my bicycle.

You don't worry at all Sir.

- Ok.

Sanjeev.

- Yes.

How much more time it will take?

Let me ask.

Ramodhar.

How long it will take?

Look there Sir..

It's on that hilltop.

My village is also next to that, in the valley.

Let's go Sir.

Are you tired?

Ramodhar.

- Yes Sir?

There is no such problem in that place?

- No Sir..

You don't worry at all.

I have never heard about this place before.

- Actually Sir...

it's a very old house..

The officers used to come before..

Now nobody comes here.

- Why?

Actually Sir..

Few years ago there was heavy rain..

Some part of the roof came down..

From that time nobody comes.

And I..

Get 10 rupees every month from the government office...

To take care of the house.

10 rupees?

- Yes Sir.

Good for you then?

Let's go.

Let's go Sir.

Wait a moment, let me take a photo.

MARIA: What place is this?

Looks like an old church.

Come in Sir.

Joy?

Where have you been?

I just came now?

Who are these two foreigners?

Maria is working with my NGO.

In headquarter.

Her husband went to "Nandadevi expedition".

And she came here to surprise him.

And Daniel is a reporter right?

- Reporter?

Be careful

You can understand what I'm saying, right?

That will be no problem.

Just make sure you come early in the morning.

Ok Sir.

Sanjeev?

- Hmm? - Has he left?

Yes.

He will come back early in the morning.

okay

so

We are here

in the middle of no where..

And found

this

abandoned guset house

to spend our night.

And the rest

details Sanjeev will give.

Sanjeev?

This used to be a forest guest house

for british during the "Raj"

now owned by "Indian forest department"

and from then

it's almost unused.

As you can see the roof came down in some parts

due to heavy rainfall in monsoon

That's it.

You ok?

What is this?

- I don't know

Sanjeev?

where have you been?

Just roaming around

why what happened?

You don't know

monkey's came inside.

Must be looking for food

otherwise there's nothing to worry.

Sanjeev?

hmm

whose house is this?

It belogs to the forest department now.

Before it was a British guest house.

So now nobody lives here?

- No.

Couple of years ago

the roof came down in some parts

and house was under

renovation by forest department

and from then

it's almost unused.

And we are here

nobody knows

otherwise they can come and.

And?

They can kill us.

Who said that?

Listen my friend

I have seen similar situations in Africa.

These "terrorists".

They don't care.

They come and rob you.

They are not terrorists.

- What?

They are fighting for their rights.

"Rights"?

Like "648"?

"Egypt Air".

Everybody has their own story to tell.

Don't mixup everything to create your own story

To run "Business" of news.

Don't.

No no no my friend.

Listen.

We are here not to make, create or alter stories

We show to the truth.

The reality.

And the reality is

"communism" doesn't exists.

It's a failed philosophy

that repeatedly fails those countries who support it.

And if you

your state follows it

you are walking backwards.

And in the next 20-30 years

the world will see it.

Bombing Heroshima is a

"Part of progress"?

We may not have money power or bomb.

But we have faith.

Faith in humanity

and in our philospphy.

Turn all the lights off.

Quick.

They will not come here right?

Can't say.

Let's see.

- Let's go and check - the officers have come to the house.

What did you just say?

We are not going that side.

- We will go.

I told you once we don't go that way.

We will go.

I think we survived this time.

Boys can sleep there

and girls can sleep here.

Tired?

Yeah.

Exhausted.

Let's get changed and sleep.

Sanjeev

- Hmm?

We are changing, I will close the door.

Neelima

don't close the door from that side

I will close it from this side

in case of any emergency, we can open it.

Joy

they are our guests

be easy.

"British" were also guests.

Sanjeev.

- Hmm?

Can we trust this Ramodhar?

Villagers are usually honest

and we don't have any option.

Yeah, but we need to move from here as early as possible.

This area isn't safe right?

He will come in the morning

and we'll leave.

Hello..?

Hello..?

Maria?

What are you doing here?

Someone is crying there.

You must be sleepwalking.

Let's go from here.

Let's go.

It's ok.

You must take rest now.

We have to leave this place early in the morning.

You go in the room

I will get you some water.

Joy?

Where you're going?

But the question is

I found her sleepwalking outside.

Few hours ago.

What are you saying?

Yes.

But let's not think about this.

Sanjeev

That door was open

and some sound was coming from inside.

Joy

It's hangover.

Joy..

Don't think too much about all these.

We have bigger problems in front of us now.

Okay?

Let's take care of Maria first

we will plan something in the morning.

Neelima?

Can you hear?

Neelima?

Good morning.

Me and Danny going toward Ramodhar's village.

Ok.

Sanjeev.

Take care of yourself.

If we are in right path

we will find him on the way.

We have to go from there?

From there.

Joy?

Is there a car mechanic in your village?

- No Sir.

There is no car mechanic in your village.

Everybody is old now.

Ok.

Let me ask.

They have come.

What you are doing outside?

Everything is messed up.

Where is Maria?

- Maria has gone crazy.

- Let's go.

From morning Maria was roaming outside only..

Didn't speak to any of us..

Don't know what happend to her..

When we went to back corridor room to called her for lunch..

There must be something wrong here.

We can't spend another night like this.

But in this situation it is more difficult to go anywhere else.

So what should we do now?

I don't know.

We have to ask to Ramodhar.

Where is Ramodhar?

Ramodhar?

Danny no..

Sir

that spirit has come back sir.

She

Which "spirit"?

What nonsense you are talking about?

Maira madam is pregnant. Why you didn't tell me before?

If i knew

I would never bring you here.

Pregnant?

I didn't know.

But how does it matter?

Sir

this house is cursed.

This entire area is cursed.

In past 40 years no baby was born here

and will never born, Sir.

So what should we do now?

We have to go to the cremation ground.

.

Only they can help us to get out of this.

Where can we find them?

Let's go sir.

Let's go fast..

Otherwise everything will be over.

What about us?

- No

Let's go Sir.

If we all go, they won't even come with us.

You all stay here.

- Let's go Sir.

Danny?

Ramodhar.

- Yes Sir?

Tell me everything in detail.

Sir

there was a tribal girl in our villege.

She was mentally disbalanced.

Somehow her father arranged some money

and made his daugther married to a woodcutter in the village.

But after marriage her madness didn't stop.

She used to beat her husband brutally.

One day her husband went to forest and never came back.

Anyway, what was the use of such a life.

After that?

After that

he brought her in this house.

Convinced the owner that she will take care of his wife and children.

I understand but

what about the ghost?

Sir

it's her spirit that roam in that house.

But Sir

- But?

In that house

other ghosts are also roam around.

- What?

Why you didn't tell me all this before?

Now what will happen to them?

- Sir

We have almost reached Sir.

Let's talk to them first

then I will explain.

Let's go Sir.

No

No, I can't sit like this.

I have to see what's happening.

I'm coming with you.

What happened?

- It's not working.

What happend in that house Ramodhar?

It's the affect of the sinfulness Sir

it's the outcome of sinfulness.

Village girl.

Everyone thought she was mentally disbalanced.

But she was not mad at all.

Nobody knew about her deeds.

Her father was working in the office

of owner of this house.

The officer loved this house.

He decided to stay with his wife and daughter.

After that?

After that.

Her father got her married to a woodcutter in the village.

She used to beat her husband badly.

One day her husband went to forest and never came back.

Tiger might have eaten.

But what is the relation with the house?

- Pregnancy Sir.

She was pregnant Sir.

Then?

When her father came to know

that she is pregnant and her husband is already dead.

How villagers will react.

So he brought her in this house.

The officer was a very good man.

He used to help the villagers also.

He accepted her as maid to take care of his wife and children.

Then?

Big house.

Soft bed.

Good food and drink.

Watching all of that, she became greedy.

NEELIMA: She was behaving in the mirror like the British lady.

The officer came to know about all this and asked her father

to take her back.

But she heard it all.

Then she made a plan with the servant of the house -

so that she never have to leave.

One day she took the officers wife to the high cliff

she took her to the edge

and suddenly

Not just the officer's wife

she didn't spare the child as well.

- Why?

Becasue the child saw everything.

But

after that what happened to the child nobody knows. anything.

Nobody knows anything.

After that?

She took the servant also out of her way -

by saying wrong things about him to the officer.

That time she had a big stomach.

The servant went to village and convinced villagers that

she is pregnent from the officer.

It was forbidden for the villagers.

Then the villagers came

Cut her stomach

and buried the unborn child near the big tree.

They hang the officer also from that tree.

And they burn her alive in the basement of the house.

From that time her spirit roam this this house and in the area.

And from then in our village

no child ever born till now.

Whenever a lady is pregnant

it posses her and force to commit suicide.

And the servant

confessed to the villagers on his death bed.

July 23rd, 1985

I am Danniel Kruger, I'm from South Africa.

On a road trip in the eastern range forests of India.

we met with an accident yesterday

and decided to spend

the night

in this abandoned forest guest house.

Our co-traveller

Maria

had some sort of

psychological disorder

from last night.

And we realized that this house is

Haunted.

I have seen

spirits in this house.

Now

will try to cover everything on camera.

Something

for the world to see

and believe it.

So this is the room

here everything started to happening.

Maria

Maria?

We need to get you out of here.

Come on.

Let's go.

Give me your hand.

Come on. give me your hand.

- "it's all that we need" -

- "here alone by myself ♬" -

- "still be yours my friend" -

- "give me some flowers today.." -

- "despite all the sorrow.." -

- "despite all the sorrow.." -

- "Now I've found love.." -

- "darkness will fall again.." -

she is coming for you.

Neelima.

Neelima

Neelima wake up.

- Neelima.

Joy

Neelima

Neelima wake up.

Neelima wake up.

We are looking for Maria or the ghost?

- Both.

That spirit goes inside Maria's body as per it's choice

and comes out as per its wish.

Why?

Because without a body it can't harm anyone.

When it wants to harm someone it has to take a carrier

Without a physical body it can only play with your mind Joy.

And it is playing with our mind.

Madam.

Maria madam.

Madam.

Sir

all are my fault.

Now

I will only finish it Sir.

Maria.

Ramodhar.

Get a chair.

Quick.

Get some firesticks.

We can't hold her like this.

Joy

Find a rope.

Quick.

Maria.

Catch her!

If she goes in the forests, we can't find her.

-

-

Tie the threads on her hands.

"jodi notem laha hijuah-nui kuri girda gujuh ah"

"Apdoh chalao jonkpe

nodekhona, ape okoi chedhoh bape chika dareaah"

We will not do anything to you, bring her down..

Bring her down.

"Aroh jodih chestaiah ingdoh

"Hotoh ing rapudh taiya"

We have to take the spirit out of her body.

Then only we can tie the threads on her.

Once the threads are on her

the spirit cannot enter her body.

The bones of her unborn child.

The priest didn't come back.

I will go and check.

- Wait.

I will check.

Priest

Priest

Priest?

Priest?

Priest?

Priest.

Joy

Joy..

The bones?

Let's go Maria.

Ramodhar?

You are here?

What are you doing here?

Where are they?

Joy is in hospital

and Maria went back to Calcutta

but why you didn't go home?

Sir

go where?

I don't have anyone.

I was thinking

with you.

Can I come with you Sir?

Ok.
