Nayagarh (Odisha): Men have died one after the other in Gunduribadi village in Odisha setting off unease among the villagers who believed a ghost was behind the deaths.
People in the village in Nayagarh district have now started migrating to escape from the wrath of what they believe is an invisible power.
About six families of the ‘Harijan Sahi’ (a particular area of the village inhabited by scheduled caste persons) have been migrating through the past year. Their homes, which they made after spending their earnings, have been lying empty like haunted houses.
Villagers say five untimely deaths - all of them men - occurred in the past four years.
