Real-Life Jinn Encounters
The first incident was sent to us by Nafiz Hasan Khokon. His home is in the village of Khalisakundi, Daulatpur Thana, Kushtia District. The next incident was sent to us by someone whose several stories we have already broadcast. Her name is Sumaiya Jahan Sumi, and her home is in Krishnakathi village, Bakerganj Thana, Barisal District. So, the first incident is from Khokon, and he took his HSC (Higher Secondary Certificate) exam in 2024. Let's get to the main story. The incident happened to one of his aunts. His maternal grandfathers are three brothers, and all three are currently alive. The incident happened to the youngest daughter of his middle maternal grandfather, meaning one of his aunts. The time frame of the incident is the late 1990s, sometime after 1998. In 1998, vast areas of the country were affected by a devastating flood. Their area was not outside of the areas that were flooded. The surrounding areas, specifically the market in their area, which is the Khalisakundi market, had an iron bridge. People from the surrounding areas used that iron bridge to travel. That bridge was also affected by the flood and was submerged. With the bridge being submerged, you can imagine how much water there was. Khokon wasn't even born yet at that time. His birth year is later. The incident happened sometime between 1998 and 2000. He heard the story from his mother. His aunt's name is Tanjila. At the time of the incident, Tanjila Aunt was 17 years old. Tanjila Aunt has an older sister, but we are not mentioning her name for obvious reasons.

The Reflection.. AI-Generated.
Jason never liked the mirror in his grandmother’s house. It stood in the upstairs hallway, an ornate, floor-length monstrosity with a golden frame that twisted like creeping vines. The glass always seemed too clear, like a pool of still water before a storm. It had been there for as long as he could remember, an unblinking eye in the otherwise warm house.

The Passenger. AI-Generated.
Daniel hated driving at night, but the storm had left him no choice. The rain hammered against his windshield, the wipers struggling against the relentless downpour. The empty highway stretched ahead, shrouded in darkness, the occasional pair of headlights flashing past, momentary ghosts in the storm.

The Cursed Mirror
It was a deep, quiet night. The wind was crying outside, rattling the windows of the old house. The shadows on the horns seemed to move easily, as if something invisible was lurking in the darkness.

The Cursed Chair
1. The mystical thing in early was almost midnight. The rain was slammed slightly by the windows of the old manor house and temporarily flashed the dark corridor. Shovon sat in his grandfather's old library surrounded by dusty bookshelf. The tribal property, the house, had been given up for years.

The Silent Echo of Uncle Rambanda
Andonawa A true story As soon as I got home from work, I heard that Uncle Rambanda had fallen from a tree while he was mowing the lawn in the evening. Somehow, no one had seen him for hours. Since Uncle was late, my aunt had gone to look for him. Then she saw Uncle Rambanda lying at the base of the Kitul tree. When she looked closer, her head had split in two. He had hit his head on the rock at the base of the tree.

The Call of the Phantom
1 Rajon by no means believed in ghosts. Superstitions, folklore, and eerie village testimonies had been not anything greater than exaggerated testimonies to him. Having studied in the town for years, he took into consideration himself a logical man. But his village had one chilling belief—by no means, to the Nishis call. They stated the Nishi became a spirit that mimicked the voices of cherished ones to trap sufferers into the darkness. Those who replied by no means returned.

The Cursed River
1. The Call of the River It turned into a deep, silent night. In one nook of the village flowed a darkish, mysterious river known as Kalendi. The villagers feared it, believing it turned into cursed. By day, it seemed like another river—calm, serene, and nearly inviting. But at night, it transformed. Strange whispers drifted from the water, muffled cries echoed via the air, and sometimes, humans claimed they heard a person calling their name.

The Cursed Graveyard
1. The Haunting Atmosphere At the very fringe of the village, surrounded with the aid of dense timber and an unending silence, stood the Kalapahad Cemetery. It was there for centuries, however villagers feared it after sunset. Whispers of eerie laughter, floating lights, and shadowy figures haunted their dreams.
