To be a Bhoot or not to be a Bhoot?! That is the question we never find the answer to in part 2 of this spooky series. There are SO many types of Indian Bhoots(ghosts) in the book & Alex had a blast delving into some of them like the fish loving Bengali Mecho, the Ghecho, the Bhego, the handsome driftwood dude Beri & uhhm how do we put this..a tribe of people with no anuses. Yup. You heard me.

On Jan 24th 2020, the double murders of sisters 27 yr old Alekhya & 23 yr old Sai Divya in Madanapalle rocked India just as the Pandemic had put the nation into lockdown. Their family was so entrenched in the delusions & superstitions of a mentally unwell instigator. The shared delusions of salvation & resurrection seemed to have suddenly led to these strange & spine-tingling murders of the sister by their own parents.

The case is so convoluted and it's nearly impossible to make sense of who instigated & manipulated whom. What do you think?

In the middle of the Pandemic in 2021, Bharti Kaste was sick with worry over her missing family. Her 21 yr old sister Rupali was missing along with their mother, sister & 2 young cousins. Rupali had been in a relationship for 3 years with their landlord Surendra Chauhan. When she confronted him about his clandestine engagement to another girl, Rupali & her family went missing. Bharti didn't give up & fought for justice for her family till a very sad & shocking revelation 6 feet under the Chauhan Farm. Hers's a case where the archaic and horrible caste system raises it's ugly head to sway people into believing they could simply get rid of an entire family simply because they considered them beneath them.
