Savage Shadows: The Terrifying Tale of the Champawat Man-Eater. Content Warning.
In the annals of history, there are tales that haunt the imagination, stories that are both chilling and captivating. One such saga is that of the Champawat Maneater—a tigress with a bloodthirsty reputation that sent shivers down the spines of villagers in the early 1900s. Referred to as the 'devil of Champawat' and the 'maneater of Champawat,' this infamous feline holds the grisly distinction of being responsible for at least 436 documented human deaths, a record unmatched by any other creature in the animal kingdom.

This is an eerie incident I personally experienced during my childhood. It was around 4 or 5 o'clock on a summer evening when I and a few companions were playing in a wild field outside the village.
