What happened on that day at this house?
The name of the village is Bhulabeda. When I mentioned this story, this village was in West Midnapore, although it is currently part of Jhargram. Most of the residents of this village, surrounded by forests, are tribal people, that is, people of the Mahato, Santal, and Munda communities. Most of the village people's lives revolve around this forest. Most of the trees in the forest are sal trees. They collect the leaves of this tree and make food for the ceremony house, while some collect wood or chalk from the forest and sell them in the market to run their family. A special type of livelihood here is ant eggs collected from the forest.

Once a fortress of medieval lords, it now housed the laboratory of Dr. Erasmus Varkis, a scientist whose brilliance was matched only by his malevolence. The locals whispered of unnatural lights flickering in the citadel’s towers, of screams carried on the wind, and of creatures that were neither man nor beast skulking in the shadows. They were right to fear, for Varkis was no mere scholar—he was a maestro of the forbidden, orchestrating a symphony of horror to bend the world to his will.
