"Room 313"
Zahid was used to moving. His government job came with transfers like seasons—unavoidable, inevitable. He'd grown comfortable living out of suitcases and sleeping in unfamiliar beds. So when his latest assignment brought him to a half-forgotten town on the edge of nowhere, he didn’t complain.

Mysterious Red Sari Spirit & Haunted Tamarind Tree
The incident happened with his elder uncle, but at the request of Tapas Bhai, we are keeping his elder uncle’s name confidential. The time frame of this incident was around 1994 or 1995. During that period, the Bila (wetland) would have a lot of water in the rainy season. One day, Tapas Bhai’s uncle brought a kind of item made from palm leaves, called “Kunda” in the village language. He had gone to cut grass and also to collect Kachuri leaves and similar things for the cows’ feed. While bringing back those things for feeding the cows, there is a place near Baktarpur Bila. This place is, well, how should I put it, an area with trees, a homestead-like place. There stands a Hijal tree there. When his uncle was returning, he sat down under that Hijal tree to rest for a while. While resting absentmindedly, he broke a branch off that Hijal tree. After resting, he normally returned home. Once home, he fed the cows the grass and Kachuri leaves he had collected. Everything seemed fine, but that very night, the uncle suddenly started acting mad. He began speaking incoherently, did not want to stay indoors, and left the house. He scolded his family members and spoke nonsense to everyone. No one was able to hold him back—one person alone couldn’t restrain him, and even many together could not. He left the house. The uncle felt as if something had possessed or affected him in a bad way. When that negative force acted upon him, he felt as if someone was sitting on him, his chest became heavy, and it felt like a heavy stone was placed on his chest. He could hardly speak properly. This problem lasted similarly for about five to six days and then went away. He became completely normal, and everything—his words, behavior, and actions—were perfectly fine. About a month after this incident, the problem started again. One day, suddenly, the uncle couldn’t be found anywhere. No one could find him, and everyone started searching all around for him.

From Page to Screen & Stage: Flowers in The Attic. Content Warning.
Few novels have embedded themselves in the dark hearts of readers like V.C. Andrews’ Flowers in the Attic. With its twisted family dynamics, Gothic atmosphere, and controversial themes—including incest and child abuse—it’s a story that’s both mesmerising and deeply disturbing. Naturally, adapting it to screen (or stage) has always been a challenge.

Twilight Zone: "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (1961)
I should preface this essay by recounting an amusing incident from when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. I was touring, of all places, Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C., when, as I walked the pathways through the headstones, I looked over at an old manse in the distance—a place I didn’t know at the time was Robert E. Lee’s house—and saw what I took to be a woman in a Victorian dress standing out front. My vision must have been very sharp in those days, as I could see that she was smiling. I suddenly felt a little uneasy. Was this a ghost I was seeing? Could anyone else see her? Foolish, I know. I later found out it was just a costumed tour guide, but her image has stuck with me all these decades. It is an image reminiscent of Farquhar’s wife in the film I review below.

The Hollow Room
Within the calm town of Elmridge, settled between perpetual woodlands and overlooked streets, stood an ancient house known as the Ashford Domain. Individuals said it had been surrendered for over a century, even though the grass was continuously bafflingly trimmed and the windows by one means or another spotless. Children challenged each other to approach the door, but no one ever made it to the yard.
