The media in India on March 16, 2019 reported that mysterious falling stones had been terrorising residents of Raigarh, a district of the state of Chhattisgarh.
The report includes a video showing local residents discussing the strange events.
While stone-throwing within communities is fairly common across India, the facts of the case suggest a stone-throwing poltergeist may be on the prowl.
As night falls, the rain of stones starts from the sky.
Many are injured, the whole area is searched, but the stone-pelters cannot be found.
The residents are troubled and night is spent in the shadow of fear.
In the Kotwali Thana area, for a few days showering of stones from the sky have started as the night begins in the Navagarhi area.
Many people were injured because of these stones, also houses, shops and the goods of some people have been damaged too.
The shocking thing about this incident is that no one knows the source of the stones and from where they are coming.
The search drew a blank.
People in the area live in fear because of this incident. Local people said that it had been happening continuously for five to six days.
This makes people in the area feel insecure. The rain of stones starts at seven o’clock in the evening and continues until 11pm.
Three people were severely injured by stone-pelting on the evening of March 15 due to stones falling on their heads. Injured people have been admitted to the hospital for treatment.
In this regard, resident of Navagarhi Ward No. 10 Sakir Ali and father Sobarti Ali, told that on March 14, he had filed a written complaint in the Kotwali.
In his complaint, Sakir has told how his family and the people of the area had been living in an atmosphere of fear by the stone-pelting.
The house had also been damaged by stones falling in the house, and people were being injured.
However, in this case, the police has not yet registered any kind of crime nor got have any clues about the unknown assailant.
The accused are human or ghosts
Local people said that when a stone strikes, a group of 10-12 youths of the village goes in search of the unknown accused across the entire area, but for the last six days, no accused seen nor caught.
In this way, many people are also adding it to the system of tantra-mantra (misbelief) by this amazing incident, some people are also saying it is the action of a ghost.
In this stone-pelting incident, the roofs of many houses have been broken. Strong houses with roofs are being saved, but the ones whose house is of khapper or asbestos, these get broken because of the falling stones fall on their roof.
The complainant, Sakir Ali, told that the asbestos roof of his house had been broken in many places due to this stone-pelting. Also, the chairs in his house had also been broken.
Children now sleep in neighbouring houses for their own safety.
In his complaint, Sakeer Ali said that since his house was made of asbestos, such big stones frightened him and his family while they slept at night.
In such a situation, he did not want to take a risk. That is why he sent his children to spend the night at a neighbour’s house.
How long will these families live in the shadow of fear? — The Fortean.
