The Wailing Cemetery
The Wailing Cemetery At the outskirts of the village lay an old cemetery. During the day, it seemed ordinary, but as the sun set, a wave of fear engulfed the entire village. No one dared to go near it at night, for from within came wretched screams of agony—cries that sent shivers down the spine of anyone who heard them.

The Drowned Man & The Headless Priests
The incident I'm about to tell you about happened in 2006. So, suddenly, that day, Asad Ali, who was in ninth grade at the time, suddenly it was noticed at school that there were no teachers. What was going on? Where had the teachers gone? When the person in charge of the gate was asked, he said that many teachers had gone to see a dead body. Someone had fallen into the water and gone missing. They hadn't been able to find him anywhere since that morning. As soon as Asad Ali heard this, he ran towards his house. When he got home, he saw everyone discussing the matter. Then, when he asked one of his uncles about it, he became somewhat aware of the situation. It turned out that the Ita Khola River, a branch of the Surma River, flowed past their house. The river is small, and a large part of it dries up during the dry season, but during the monsoon season, the river looks very dangerous. Its current increases a lot, which is why no one really dares to go into the river during the monsoon season. And villagers often hear strange stories about this river from the elders. Asad Ali and many of his friends used to swim in the river all the time. Nothing scary ever happened to them, but they only swam when the monsoon season was ending and the river water was low. Anyway, there's a reason I described the river. Now, let's get back to the main story. So, his uncle, Asad Ali's uncle, told him that that morning, a man from a neighboring village had left home with some cows to graze in the field. But the man thought, "Today, I'll take the cows to the other side of the river. There's a lot of grass there, and the cows will be able to eat their fill." Thinking that, he decided to take the cows across the river. It should be noted that the man was not a resident of their Sylhet area. The man was from somewhere in Mymensingh. And when he left with the cows, he met a man on the way and told him that he wasn't going to feed the cows here today, he was going to take them to the other side. So, this is the decision the man made and whom he told about it.

Manikarnika: The Unknown Mark on the Seashore
Manikarnika: The Unknown Mark on the Seashore Manikarnika stood alone on the seashore. The roar of the ocean waves, the cool scent of the wind, and the pink hues in the sky brought new thoughts to her mind. She stood still, lost in the beauty of the scene, but a strange sense of unease was slowly creeping into her heart. It was dusk, and something deep, something mysterious was unfolding along the shoreline.

The Sinister Sacrifice: A Blood-Soaked Tale
The Sinister Sacrifice: A Blood-Soaked Tale A thick fog cloaked the dense forests of Ratnagad that night. The moon hid behind heavy clouds, as if unwilling to witness the horrors that lurked below. The towering trees cast monstrous shadows, whispering eerily with every gust of wind. The villagers had forbidden anyone from entering that cursed land—because ‘he’ lived there. A nameless entity, one that had been demanding blood sacrifices for centuries.
