Post by bunniefuu »

Hello.

Were you sleeping?

Did I disturb you?

No, Sir. Tell me.

Well...

Were you able to contact

your friend, Mr. Raman?

I tried calling him,

but he didn't respond.

Anyway, he has your phone

number, right?

Do one thing.

Give me his number.

Okay.

I will send it to you.

When science has progressed so much...

how can you prove the existence

of ghosts or paranormal beings?

We cannot prove it.

You see, the thing with science is,

you want to try and duplicate

it in a controlled environment,

and that is not possible

with paranormal activity.

What are the devices you depend on?

My inner vibrations!

But hey, my go-to

devices are the EMF meter

that tells me about the

ambient electromagnetic field,

the EVP meter which captures

any unexplained voice phenomena,

and the laser thermometer

tells me about temperature

What was your scariest paranormal

haunting experience ever?

Scariest... ahhh

I think reality is scarier.

Love and loss are realities, for example

And the human brain is incredibly complex

when dealing with love and loss.

But I think...

It's in those grey areas...

where ghosts are born.

What was the best evidence that

you across that...

made you believe in the

world of the paranormal?

In one of my sessions like this

I had a strange visitor.

A senior member of the

Association of Exorcism.

Yes,

the school of exorcism

backed by the Vatican.

He wanted me to meet one of his subjects.

A very interesting subject.

"Annelie"

A self-styled Satanic high priestess.

She called herself a witch,

Satan's lover and dressed the part.

She could tell some people their traumas,

like the Bishop's secrets.

She would know how people she'd

never known died, like my grandmother.

This was not psychosis; it was... what

I can only describe as paranormal ability.

And I concluded that she was possessed.

Someone Megha had called many times

"There's a pull,

a draw of the body and soul"

"The heart is a mighty, ruthless thing"

"Melodies, verses,

poems who knows what all is echoing..."

"There's desire, there's depth

what kind of uproar has been created"

"Clasping the hem of fire,

now what is there to ask about the view?"

"Let go of the limitations...

let the heart immerse in the waves"

"Some melody is in the stars."

"Such a friendship has blossomed."

"In me, in you... in you, in me...

In me and in you, this intoxication between us, what is it?"

"What to say about us lovers."

"Just what can be said."

"Written in colors, just read the colors,

and keep immersing yourself in the colors..."

"Love has dyed itself in which color,

someone please tell me the hue."

"The heart is up to something,

it has become dishonest;

the honesty is not at fault"

"In this situation,

whatever is meant to happen,

just keep flowing..."

Hello.

Mr. Raman Perumalayan? This is

Joseph Swaminathan, ADGP, Kerala Police.

Tell me.

Did you come across the

reality TV show m*rder case news?

Sorry, I haven't been

following local news lately.

This is a tricky case.

Seven mysterious deaths.

So, I called you to inform

you about your friend Megha's husband,

Mr. Ravi Varma, has also been k*lled.

ADGP Joseph Swaminathan,

in the press conference,

has categorically denied all

conspiracies about

the reality show deaths.

He has categorically said...

It was series of murders...

committed by Bejoy,

who is currently in a coma.

Bejoy is in a coma now.

He has ingested excessive

amount of carbon monoxide,

and as a result, he has become

delusional as per the police.

Hi, Friends. Welcome back to my channel

As many of you are aware, I've been researching

paranormal phenomena for quite some time now.

The reality TV deaths. Yes...

I'm telling you again and again

the police's explanation is incorrect.

There was something supernatural that

happened in that bungalow that night...

Yes...

Something supernatural

and something very dreadful.

Brahmagiri island, is a very creepy place.

It has a strange and bloody history.

I conducted a paranormal

investigation there a few years ago.

You can find the link

in the description below.

The police are rushing

to bury all the bodies today.

Oh, Madam is here. Madam is here

She is the wife of the deceased

show director, Ravi Varma.

Madam, who is behind these brutal murders?

Please say something, Madam.

Madam, please say something.

I spoke with that cop Joseph last night.

He had shared some video clips with me.

And I think there is

something more to this case.

And I think this is the

case we've been looking for

We are going to Kerala.

What?

Hi.

Hi. This is Anna

Hi

Please come.

Really? He called?

Hello, sir. I am Joseph.

Raman.

I didn't know you were

coming with your wife.

She's Anna, my research associate.

Oh, sorry, sorry.

That's okay.

Megha, I thought she

was his wife for a moment.

I only learned about the

tragedy when Joseph called.

Are you living here alone?

No, my dad and mom

were here until yesterday.

They didn't want to leave me alone,

but I had to send them away.

Why didn't you ever answer my calls?

Um... I mean...

I knew you'd never answer my calls...

now that you're famous and successful,

right?

So, my father has even more reason

to come hug you and show off.

I didn't want to deal with all that fakery.

That's the real reason I sent them away

Since when did upper caste Nambiar's started touching lower caste Malayan's?

- Hey, sorry.

- Yeah.

I didn't mean it that way.

Your case and investigation

are ongoing, right?

Since I'm here,

what do you expect me to do?

I don't know, Raman.

I don't know.

I'm not convinced by

the police investigations.

Same accusations, same conclusions.

It's the same old situation.

That's the circus happening here now.

Moreover, getting you involved

hasn't gone well with Joseph sir.

That's why he's a

bit irritated and cranky.

Please choose to ignore it.

You know, this m*rder*d

Varmaji was pretty close to me.

Perfect company for booze parties.

He was a famous Kalikudukka.

A playboy! A playboy!

Your Raman sir and Megha were

in love during their college days.

Varmaji had told me many times.

Anyway, don't waste

your time chasing ghosts.

Megha doesn't seem sad anymore.

Are you the reason, sir?

So sir, here are all

the HDs with the files.

There is also an edited line-up with music...

made by those TV channel lunatics.

Also, to tell you the truth,

this is a problematic case.

Also, to tell you the truth,

this is a problematic case.

I've seen a lot of brutal murders in my career, but this...

this is nothing like those.

It's bad. Very bad.

Don't forget,

what I am doing is unofficial.

Don't mess this up. I'll lose my job.

Varmaji's studio is upstairs.

Hook it up there and watch the clips.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

So finally, we are at Ravi

Varma and Megha Nambiar's house

Joseph sir has provided us with

reality show footage and materials.

And we are now at Ravi

Varma's podcast studio.

Varma was a famous podcaster when

it comes to crime and mysterious stories.

So, now we are looking

at the clips in the hard disk.

That's the first step.

My name is Meera Nandakumar.

I'm 24 years old,

and this is my profile.

I come from Palakk...

Oh Sorry... Palakkad.

Let's go for one more take.

Hi, I am Shambu.

I'm from Thiruvananthapuram.

I'm 24 years old,

and my height is 5'11".

Actually, I'm a B.Com student.

I studied at Manipal.

My name is Alina.

My age is 25.

I live in Bangalore,

but I am from Kattappana, Idukki.

My name is Bejoy.

Age 27.

I am based in New Mumbai.

Though I stay there, my native place

is Alappuzha. And these are my profiles.

Hi, my name is Tashu.

I'm 5'6"

I'm based out in Bangalore.

And these are my profiles.

My name is P. Narayanan,

and I stand 6 ft tall.

I hail from Kottayam.

You'll know more about me if you come to

Decent Junction in Kottayam and take my name.

Is that okay? Oh, my profile.

My ambition is to become an actor.

My first assignment was a TVC

For Thankam jewellery in Kattappana.

A huge hoarding has been...

placed near my home...

with my face on it.

I finished my graduation

and started a business.

That tanked badly.

Then I was planning

to start another business,

But that got screwed again.

That's when I saw your

audition calls for this show.

That's when I thought I'll try this.

Nowadays, there are lots of

reality shows...

for singing and dancing.

The fact that a reality show

is being conducted inside a haunted house,

If you ask me whether I have

experienced paranormal energy,

once, we went to Kandivali in Mumbai

for an investigation,

in an apartment,

There, we came across a

proper shadow.

We witnessed it first-hand.

My hobby would be...

Thailand is my play Station.

Fear? I don't have that much fear.

I am scared of humans.

One thing I can't live without...

would be...

Freedom.

YouPorn.com

Belief in haunted house?

Come live in my house with my dad and mom,

and I'll give you all this cash.

Do you want to know

what's going on here?

It's all visual effects. All LIVE!

Let me introduce you to our "ghost"

Don't you want to hear...

what he has to say?

We are rigging all the elements.

We're going to scare the cast...

and make them run for their lives!

Sir, could you please show us a trial?

Sure.

I'll show you a trial.

Do you see that bump over there ...

that looks like a roof?

Well, that's a hydraulic rig.

The moment I press this button,

a ghost, with creepy hair,

will appear

like in a Korean movie.

Oh!

- Lalit, are you ready?

- Yes.

3..2..1..Go!

We got into a vehicle from Kochi.

That's where, I met all other contestants.

We reached there by

evening after 7-8 hours

Okay, listen up, guys.

Our cast will be arriving any moment

I don't want anybody who is not required

in this control room here.

Out! Clear out, please.

We reached the island in evening

They took our phones...

as soon as we arrived.

I was a little upset because...

it's difficult to stay without the phone.

How can we contact others...

in case of an emergency?

Soon we reached a lakeside.

We had to take a small boat to cross over.

We had to get off the

boat and trek further up

Oh my god!

Someone's there.

It's RK.

Welcome, boys and girls.

RK sir, greetings.

Narayanan, how was the journey?

- Sir, how do you know me?

- Yes.

Where did we meet before?

Try to remember.

Actually, I am not able to recall.

Hotel Maharani Bar in Pala?

Or Arcadia Bar in Kottayam?

Uncle... You're mistaken.

I'll explain that in person.

I don't want these kids to be scandalized.

Tashu, what's the secret?

Come on, tell me tell me.

Nothing.

Nothing, Sir.

Tashu has a crush on you, sir.

What?

Honey, I'm married...

and have a kid too.

Well, no one will know.

Everybody will know it,

with all these cameras around.

What nonsense man

Alina, how was Bangalore Days?

Chilling all the time, huh?

Still chilling ?

Sometimes. Not every day.

Don't chill every day, okay?

Now, let's get to business.

After that, RK sir explained the show

rules, and regulations to us.

The tasks assigned to you...

are in the bottles behind.

The first rule was that...

sh**ting would only happen at night.

Every day, we'll get a new task.

Daytime is fully free.

We were given a ghost hunting kit

It had EVP, EMF meters, microphones,

and night vision cameras...

RK showed us a flashlight...

with a camera attached.

In darkness, wherever we point the flashlight,

this camera will capture that shot.

If you sense any paranormal occurrences,

you can analyze it using all these gadgets.

Okay?

Ok, sir.

One among the six

of you will be the winner

After 15 days,

I'll come with 10 million USD...

to meet the last person standing...

in this haunted house.

All the best,

and welcome to "The Hunted House"

Thank you, sir.

This is the key to your house.

Shambu.

Ghost, as they enter,

I want the AC on full blast.

Hey, be careful

3, 2, 1 - Go!

Guys, whats with this sudden chill in air?

Don't you feel cold?

I've got stuff to warm up.

Careful dude

Beautiful painting

Oh yes! Beautiful

Who might have painted it?

Don't you know?

It's Raja Ravi Varma.

But I cant understand anything!

The standard of your comedy man!

Guys! Come over here

Hey! What are these boxes?

Bejoy Zachariah.

Meera.

Tashu.

It's a key.

What are these for?

It must be for that room.

It's locked... on that side.

Okay. Let's go!

Let's go open it?

Let's give them some time to settle in.

Let them figure out the house first

Alina, if you guys are scared

to sleep alone, you can sleep with me.

One on each side. I'll stay in the middle.

I'm okay with that. I'll adjust.

Okay, guys! Let's get this party started.

On it, boss.

Let's start with Meera.

Alina...

It's working... It's working...

Hey, pull the fader up... pull!

Meera...

Meera.

What happened?

What happened, Meera?

Meera, what happened?

What happened to you?

Over there.

Over there.

Good one! Good one!

Last night was very scary.

Anyone with common sense can understand...

that this is all rigged.

I'm vegan; there is nothing here for me.

But it's okay, I'll adjust.

Is it true that we would become impotent

if we eat too much all-purpose flour?

Narayanan...

If so, you'll have to eat

quite a lot of all-purpose flour.

As I was a bit upset

after last night's incident,

Bejoy and Alina took me with them

to check out the island to cheer me up.

Meera, there might be snakes around there.

Shambu, Meera, and I found a tree house.

The view from the top was spectacular.

And then we went towards the forest area.

The forest area was a little creepy, I think,

because there were some ruins

beneath a big tree.

It was a big tree with

several entwined roots.

Some sort of rituals might have...

taken place there long ago.

Shambu, our curious kid...

needs to explore everything.

Then we took him with us...

and left the place.

We kept exploring the island.

Soon we spotted an old boiler room.

It was so old that it

could be placed in a museum.

Oh my God... Too much dust

I think in olden times they used this

to boil water for the bunglow

Dear Bejoy, don't brag too much.

By late evening,

I freshened up and stepped out.

The rest of them were

outside the bungalow...

around the campfire.

Very chilly right?

Who asked you to wear shorts?

What happened?

Can't you open it?

I've seen so many bottles, bro...

Sheesh!

Good evening, boys and girls.

Your first task of the series...

will happen tonight.

Split into two teams of your choice.

Three of us will be one team.

So, you three become team A.

We are team B.

The house has two corners.

Room A is in the southern way.

Room B is interesting.

This room was where...

Arthur Williams,

an East India Company estate manager,

rounded up his wife...

and two children...

and shot them dead.

It's nothing serious.

This is a story about a foreigner who...

lived here long ago, Arthur Williams.

He k*lled his wife and children...

and committed suicide.

They say you can hear the cries of...

those children even now.

Besides, the spirit of

Arthur Williams is very scary.

Basically, it's nothing.

We need to split into two groups.

Once we reach there,

only one member from the team...

can enter inside the room.

We need to investigate

the rooms in detail...

using EVP meters, night vision cameras,

and other gadgets.

What RK said is right.

It's a simple game.

Guys, we need some heavy-duty

fireworks tonight...

Just like Thrissur

Temple Festival fireworks

What happened?

Something slithered past my hand.

It might be a snake.

Come on.

But only one of us can go inside, right?

Who will go inside alone?

I'll go.

No, I'll go.

Anyway I chill in cemetry for fun

I'll go.

But... do you even know what to do...

when you go inside?

Okay, you go in.

I'll tell you what to do.

There will be a TV inside.

It will be connected to a camera feed

All you need to do is

stand in front of that TV...

or you can sit there.

A chair will be there.

If there is any sort of energy around you,

it will be captured by the camera,

and you can watch it on the TV.

Keep this EVP meter with you.

Just switch it on here.

If there is a magnetic field around you,

this will detect it.

Tashu, what stupidity is this?

Hello,

they say...

such kinds of manifestations

can be captured...

on a CRT screen.

I mean, magnetic field.

Bye bye

Who will go in?

Shall I go in?

Okay, you go then.

Yes, you may go.

Keep this with you.

Don't be scared.

We are right here, Meera.

Let her go.

- Should I go inside?

- Yes, we are here anyway

Should we send her alone?

Shut up!

Why don't you go then?

No, I'm scared.

Dude, it's not cool to send her alone.

I can see the light.

Bro, I am getting scared.

God! You've become a f*cking pain.

What if something happens to her?

Do one thing. You go in...

and give her company.

Go.

No, only one person can go inside.

Then shut up.

That's maximum close I can go

Open. open, open...

Alina!

Ali...

Ali... are you okay?

Ali...

What happened?

Ali...

Are you okay?

Hey, Ali!

Bro...

Meera, stop.

What's happening?

Meera, stop.

Something was here. This close.

Nobody will believe this.

Terror, screams, fainting.

It was superb.

These guys ran away seeing a shadow.

How will they win the game?

We went exploring the island...

and got back by evening.

Everybody was near the campfire,

having their dinner.

The second task, the treasure hunt.

The plot is simple.

One clue will lead you to another.

We had to find one clue

which would lead to the next one.

The first clue is...

"You can find it in God but not in Devil."

The only problem we had...

was the time constraint.

We must finish the task before 4:00 AM?

And the most important thing is...

the losing team will be eliminated.

Good luck.

We three will be one team.

Lakshmi, I think Narayanan

will walk away with all the cash.

No... I think it could be Bejoy and g*ng.

When we think about God...

the first thing that comes...

Bro, you keep doing

your intellectual stuff;

they will win the game.

I saw some ruins over there.

Maybe the clue is kept there?

Yeah, then let's go there.

You can find it in God and not in Devil.

What could that be?

Narayanan, come here, fast.

I'm searching everywhere

Sir, they are going

in the wrong direction.

Where the hell is he taking us?

Almost there... See there

The clue must be hidden in this cove

It's okay,

they will find their way back soon

I saw a painting in

the work area yesterday.

Tashu, let's check in the work area.

Tashu, come. Work area is this way.

Be careful.

They must have found the clue ... I'm sure

We're here

See, these are the

ruins I was talking about.

Throw some light here...

Shambu, don't... no.

They must have hidden

the clue inside this...

I am sure.

Shambu, don't do that.

Shambu, stop it.

Listen to me.

Stop it!

Look, look!

Are you okay?

Slowly... Get up

What the hell! It's burning

This has happened because of...

your foolishness.

You deserved it.

b*tch.

What did you say?

What did you say?

Behave yourself...

otherwise I am going

to beat the sh*t out of you.

Get lost.

What the hell are you guys doing?

You go.

Get up

You don't know what I can do.

Why did I even set out with these morons?

Is it them shouting?

Shambhu...

Alina. Ali...

Alina. Shambu.

Bejoy, I am never going

to team up with this guy.

Scumbag... as*h*le.

What happened?

Tashu... please get the first aid box.

Okay.

This place is creepy.

No, not creepy.

This happened because of this moron

Yeah, come and nurse him.

Is he fine?

Yeah, he is fine.

Okay, guys. Tomorrow is a break day, no?

You may go to the base

camp and chill for a day.

Lakshmi and I will handle things out here

We were about to finish

yesterday's task...

that's when...

I was struggling to sleep yesterday...

but I feel better now...

but Alina... I'll get back at her soon.

We've got a break after some days.

All of us are happy about it.

Tonight, I am going

to get drunk and get smashed

Are you sure, that they are

lesbians?

Of course!

Otherwise, why would this one teach dancing

to the other one in the middle of the night?

Look, look.

What will we men do if girls go this way?

Dont worry bro

There is one more, you know.

Why is this Alina always

hanging out with Bejoy?

Forget me...

but why not you?

You're tall, handsome...

Handsome guys don't

have market value anymore.

Who the hell is that?

There is no one there.

I saw a light there.

There's nothing there, man.

Look there.

I saw it just now...

You're just high.

But I can hear the sound of drums...

What?

The sound of drums?

That light... It has come back again.

I can see it...

Shambu, come...

It's next to that huge tree.

Hold on... Let me take the bottle...

Shambu, come.

It's there.

It's there next to that huge tree...

Can't you hear the sound of drums?

On that stone lamp... Next to this tree...

Yeah, right here.

It was on that stone.

Someone was here.

Where the hell is your lamp?

I swear it was here.

Narayanan...

the sound of drums has stopped.

Give me that bottle

Light

I'll show you the light right now.

Light...

Here it is...

Look! There is light!

Wait... I'll just douse the fire.

There's light and fire now

Hey, Shambu.

What the hell are you doing?

What are you doing here

in this jungle at this time?

What the hell...

Shambu... this way.

Don't touch me.

Oh, now I understand...

this way.

Bejoy, did you see the light?

You come here.

Alina... you are a fraud.

What did you say?

What did you say your name was?

Your name is Aleyamma Babu... right?

My dear Aleyammo...

oh fraud Babu.

I'll deal with you later...

when you are sober.

Ali... come fast.

Sober my foot.

Shambu, come on.

This was a unique event...

unparalleled in the history of India.

Sorry, let's take it once more...

I said India, it should be world.

Sorry.

May I take this call?

Hello

Hello ma'am. It's me, Raman here.

Of course, I know.

What a surprise.

It's been so long

since I heard your voice.

I'm here just looking at

the reality show incident footage...

and I have some doubts...

I'm talkinng about

that Brahmagiri incident

Brahmagiri is a familiar place to me.

It's not as famous as

the Kerala's Edakkal caves...

But, it has a lot of ancient

ruins and burial stones...

Cave paintings

... rock arts.

Burial stones of tribal warlords

"Gossammer dipped in Malayan blood

Gossammer shreddinng into pieces"

I'll contact you if

I have any information.

Perfect. Thank you

Do get back to me... yeah, bye!

Talk to me about the call.

That was Ayesha ma'am.

Folklore and Anthropology expert.

She's the last word when it comes to...

the Dravidian mythology and culture.

She is a crazy person who studies about...

every ancient happening all across Kerala.

Hence, I have requested her help to gather...

some information about Brahmagiri...

its significance,

especially about this sacred cove

And she will be a very big help on this.

Hmm, okay?

I've seen the light.

I've seen it.

I have seen the light.

Narayanan, what happened?

Here's the light.

Why the hell did you guys

go out there at this hour.

Where's Shambu?

Narayanan.

Hey Narayanan...

What's wrong?

The light!

Let me go find Shambu.

Narayanan...

Bejoy.

- Are you also going?

- Yes.

I think I should deal with him right away.

Can't postpone it to tomorrow.

Narayanan...

Narayanan.

Ahhh... He's lost.

Got lighter on you?

Yeah

Want to join?

No.

C'mon, let's have a smoke.

Shambu...

Shambu...

Shambu

Go... go...

Tashu,

Tashu...

what happened?

what happened?

Go, go. ?

Tashu, what happened?

What happened?

Pull it up.

Pull it up... pull!

Go... Go.

Lights have gone.

Go... go...

It's okay... it's okay.

screams

Meera...

Meera...

Alina...

Go... let's go away from here.

Bejoy.

Ali, go and get the walkie-talkie.

Go quick.

It's okay.

Hello...

Hello!

Hello, can someone hear us?

Hello, hello?

Who is there?

Who the heck are you?

Hello...

Can you hear us?

Please help us.

Is anybody listening?

Please help us...

We want out.

We all want out.

Please help us.

Hello... Hello...

Helloooooooo!

Narayana...

I've got him.

Narayanan, don't go there.

Something weird is going on.

The light...

Listen to me!

Narayanan.

Narayanan,

Come out.

Narayanan!

Bejoy! Bejoy!

What happened to you?

There, I saw...

Narayanan.

What happened to him?

There... he...

Are you looking for me?

Narayanan is here.

Water!

Meera!

Meera!

Meera...

Meera!

Narayanan... Meera, there...

No... move, move.

This is not our Narayanan.

I visited this region with the

head of a tribal clan.

I was pursuing my PhD back then.

The people who lived there worshipped

a particular kind of Goddess they called Mother,

a worship of nature as mother,

an early Dravidian lore.

Now, that region is known as Brahmagiri.

Hundreds of years ago, this region

was ruled by kings of Kolathunadu.

Here's your tea.

Thank you.

And then?

Then, you see, Kerala doesn't have a

strong written history about such regions

We can only learn those

from oral histories,

which are not often recorded faithfully

They say that this particular region,

this island...

It's the land of lust and vengeance.

I didn't get you.

"The girl who bit Kunjambu,

the snake that bit Kunjambu,

Haven't you heard

the thundering ballads of

haven't you heard"

Oh I knew it...

I can't recall suddenly

"Haven't you heard...

Kunjambu's Godly words...

Kunjambu's humanly words"

, 1775,

So, this story dates back many centuries.

There lived a feudal landlord called

Kulashekeran who ruled Brahmagiri region.

a powerful and cruel feudal lord.

And there lived the most beautiful girl

by the name of Mukil.

Kulashekeran, the infamous womaniser,

married her as his second wife,

but his manhood always

failed in front of her.

He shut her away in his

mansion from prying eyes.

But every year, just for one night,

during the annual Theyyam celebrations,

he allowed her to venture outside.

On a regular day,

Kunjambu was never allowed nor permitted

anywhere close to Kulashekeran's mansion

because he was a low caste

Malayan and hence an untouchable

However Theyyam ritual can

only be performed by a Malayan

There are many legends about Kunjambu.

As tall as the mighty mountains...

As deep as the oceans

His name is Malayan Kunjambu

"Haven't you heard, Haven't you heard,"

"Of ballads thunderous, tales galore?"

"Of snakes that trick,

and Kunjambu's plight,"

"As he fell like a copper

branch spilling blood divine"

"A ballad ablaze,

with Adi Malayan's name,"

"Showered in divine blood,

an inferno's flame."

"On that island, where passions ignite,"

"Celestial fires burn in vengeful spite,"

"Drums pound fiercely, chanting of death,"

"Ballads whirl, leaving minds bereft."

"Towering tall like Ezhimala's might,"

"Deep as oceans, endless in sight,"

"That's him, his black skin divine,"

"The goddess breahting in his skin"

"Magnetic fire gleaming in his eyes,"

"Feeding on warring n*pples' cries,"

"Dancing fierce in raging ire,"

"A tempest of flames, burning dire."

"Haven't you heard, haven't you heard?"

"Deceiving ballads,

blazing swords deferred."

"Haven't you heard, haven't you heard?"

"Whispered tales of swords,

cunningly slurred."

"Not a lightning's flash,"

"Nor a creeper's gentle brush,"

"Not a rainbow's hue,"

"Nor a mango flower's dew."

"Thinking of the goddess,"

"She lay in passion's caress,"

"Fire of love and lust,"

"Burning fiercely under her belly"

"Haven't you heard... Haven't you heard?"

"The whispers of luscious

skin in the forests,"

"Where stones brush in lustful communion,"

"Creepers and threads

weave a tale divine."

"The clouds sensed Mukil's fervent heat,"

"As piercing eyes locked

in clandestine meet."

Kunjambu's divine vow was broken

due to the sexual act he committed.

His divine dance stopped.

Locals were petrified.

But the most interesting thing was...

Mukil was not interested

in the human form of Kunjambu.

She was lusting after

the goddess that he was.

That evening,

while performing Theyyam ,

Kunjambu had to face...

the wrath of Kulashekeran.

And that came in the

form of a serpent worshipper

Kunjambu lost his life in an in-between metaphysical state...

where he was neither goddess nor human.

From that day onwards, mysterious things

started happening in Brahmagiri.

Livestock started dying for no reason,

agriculture started falling...

lots of mysterious and

unexplained murders took place

These stories reached the local kingdom.

So, the king stepped in to

stop these mysterious happenings.

He took the help of a legendary

Perumalayan (Divine Oracle).

The Perumalayan trapped Kunjambu's spirit and...

locked it in forever inside the same sacred cove.

The king then cut off the

Brahmagiri region completely.

To avoid any trespassing, he ordered the local

river to be rerouted around the sacred cove.

No animals venture into this region,

birds don't even fly above this region.

Tribals believe in this till today.

Decades later

the land where Kulashekeran's house stood,

a bungalow was built by the British

But they left the sacred cove as it is,

maybe due to fear or respect...

And it is in the same bungalow,

this reality TV show tragedy has happened.

Bejoy,

I know something strange happened there.

How did you get saved?

I'll come to you once more...

to tell you what happened there.

I think we have to

make a trip to that island.

Is Megha also coming with us?

But she told me that she's also coming.

Raman, I'm packing

clothes only for two days.

Megha, do you need to come?

It's better if you

don't come to that place.

Raman.

I don't want to be alone.

Please.

You know, I always wonder...

how Raman ended up in

the world of the paranormal.

Why?

He was such a scared

child in his younger days.

I can't believe he is chasing ghosts now.

Scared of darkness.

Fearful of his father.

One could always find him hiding...

in the shadows of his grandmother.

May I ask you something?

Why did you guys breakup?

It's Simple.

When our families decide

our future instead of us,

these things are bound to happen.

Raman had mentioned.

He left India following a break-up.

You know... he just...

Left.

He didn't even fight for me.

You didn't fight for him?

Oh god. This is a mess.

Okay... I'm rolling.

There was the presence

of something sinister here...

that scared the contestants.

Quinto Del Sordo, Investigation, Day 1.

Our plan of action is first up,

to map the energy in this place.

Anything unusual that happens here,

we can use that data

to counter that energy.

That's the reason why I have

rigged this entire place and locked it up.

This is not the case

of ghosts or poltergeists.

I can sense the presence

of something very demonic.

The thing with demonic energies is that...

they will hit you at your weakest moment.

Now I am going to engineer

one such moment...

and communicate with it.

Ready?

Yeah.

In this scenario there

are three possibilities.

The first one is the police version,

the second one demonic possession,

the third one...

territorial residual energies.

These territorial residual

energies are such energies...

that stay trapped in the

human realm unable to crossover.

Any living thing...

that leaves this world

with unfinished business...

is believed to be stuck in

this world as residual energies.

So, to release these energies,

we need to communicate with it.

Religions do,

communities do,

and we also have to.

It's 11.30 in the night...

and it's a paranormal...

ah sorry...

Just repeat the last line.

Paranormal occurrences

usually happen post-midnight.

So let's wait and watch.

Okay!

Cut.

What happened?

Shhhh....Do you hear a sound?

Hey Anna, don't try to scare Megha.

She is the one who discovered fear.

But Megha says that Raman is the one...

who used to be the scared child.

Such things happen in our childhood...

we'll fear,

we'll love...

am I right?

People will come and scare us,

beat you up

and they'll make sure

you leave your home country.

Megha!

Get up.

Are you okay?

Megha...

Megha just come.

Just sit here.

It's okay. You're fine

There's someone out there...

Megha, there's nothing to worry.

Just relax.

Relax.

I'll be back.

Megha

Raman... There

Anna...

What the hell are you looking at

b*tch!

Megha.

Megha.

Megha...

Megha.

There is someone outside

Megha.

Wait.

Stop

I asked you to stop.

Megha!

Megha. Stop it!

Megha!

Ramu...

It's in her.

Wait wait... I'll go

Raman... Raman...

Anna...

Please Please Please ...

Please Anna

I know what you want.

Come...

Come...

Like a baby...

Then, like a serpent

with a thousand tongues.

Megha.

You are a coward.

You secretly desire to have me...

but your manhood surrenders in fear.

Stop this. Megha.

Stop this Megha... please

Come! If you dare to burn inside me...

Come to me.

Megha stop this. Megha!

Come...

What the f*ck are you doing?

Why didn't you fix the generator yet?

Raman

You b*tch.

I need lights here... right now.

Anna!

Anna... I am sorry.

Anna ...

Anna wait.

Anna...

Anna...

I am sorry

I am sorry... please come back.

Anna...

Please no

Please...

Careful

Careful please

Careful please

Anna!

Hey Anna...

Anna... Anna

Anna!

You, dirty b*tch. Aren't you done yet?

I'll k*ll you.

What are you looking at, you b*tch?

Please no...

Anna!

Who are you?

Who is it?

Come in front of me, you coward.

Raman! Please stop...

Listen to me very carefully.

Stop all your investigations

and leave the island

I repeat

Do not WORSHIP it

Do not light a lamp

reincarnates with worship.

What you're dealing with is a trickster.

A deadly trickster...

with enormous power.

Stop the car.

Come...

Raman, come...

Raman... come...

Raman,

let's go home.

Let's go home!

At the moment of death,

the soul slips free

and time unravels in reverse

Raman drifted, weightless,

through the hush between now and forever

But Raman was not alone.

He tried to end it drag

Kunjambu's cursed spirit with him.

Tried to drag it with

him into the unknown.

Kunjambu sought no mercy only a witness.

To reveal the betrayal, not by gods,

Of how men butchered the gods

This was not the end.

It was the beginning.

To be continued...
