MP 'Ghost' Demands House, Villagers Gladly Oblige

[Richard]

Villagers of Madanpura in Bhind district are collecting money through donations in order to build a house for a ghost.

The ghost, who was living on a tree, became homeless after the tree was uprooted.

Fear of the ghost has also made many leave their homes in the village, locat ed about 500 km from Bhopal.

"Earlier the ghost used to live on a tree, but it has now become homeless after the tree was uprooted in a storm a few months ago. He now wants a separate place to live in," one of the villagers said.

"They are so frightened that some have started leaving the village for fear of death." Seven families are reported to have left their homes to stay with relatives in neighbouring villages.

According to village head Akhilesh Purohit, many villagers told him that the ghost would come to them in their dreams and ask them to urge the panchayat (village council) to get a new house constructed for him. "But I would take it lightly."

Purohit says that he was frightened after he himself heard the ghost warning him in a dream to build a house as soon as possible.

"The problem is that the ghost doesn't want his new house to be constructed with donation by the villagers. He wants the house to be constructed through the panchayat and registered in his name. But the rules do not permit us to do any such thing," Purohit said.

However, the villagers decided to collect money for a house. The construction is slated to start soon, Purohit said.

It is a good opportunity for bandits after they left homes. These people should think about it, because later they would cry.

Hopefully, western civilisation is not so sensitive about ghosts.

He wants the house to be constructed through the panchayat and registered in his name.

Haha, this ghost was a lawyer before death. To me this story looks like scam. Someone wants to get a house for free.

Who knows it might be a scam for a free house. It will be interesting to hear further developments in this story. ;)

I thought this my previous post was deleted. :think:

Yes, the story is interesting. There are many mysterious stories from India.

There is another one about another ghost http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/EK14Df01.html

Interesting story but it doesn’t really have anything to do with paranormal ghosts. Did you post the right link?

There appears to be possession cases in India. It would make sense because the chakra system is not spun correctly and then the red dot at the forehead also opens them up.

These talks of possession of students for small moments, I've experienced myself. The spirits can possess a child, and talk through him or her, and the voice would project through the sinks and toilets. I know this was not a prank. This vulnerabilty probably attributes to the child's developing chakra system. Stewart said to not heal infants because their chakra systems are a little different. Maybe an elementary or middle schooler is not all that different. That's when I experienced this.

According to one of the articles above, some Indians appear to believe in Jinns. While it is an islamic concept, Jinns are invisible demons that can shapeshift and manifest in front of you. Sounds like there may be reptilian demons on the loose over there in India too. India does neighbor the Middle-East which is heavily associated to Biblical times.
