Today I woke up with all the pleasantness of a Sunday morning with pleasant leisurely routine ahead in my head .The first one a cup of strong tea at the round the corner tea shop and curious Sunday edition of Asian Age in hand: "India shock India” “Police attack Lahore lawyers”………My eyes travelled down through the scratch +2 lenses and got transfixed “ Village ghost spoils harvest” Sharing the left wall with other columns on its head with a portrait of a beautiful Indian house wife decked in gold ornaments and white and red fresh flowers.

The dusty field, the pond and the spotless white cow tethered to a solitary neem tree and a small motley crowd consisting of men, women and children washed in mellowed golden light of the evening sun, with philosophical expressions on their faces surrounded the Patrakar Sahib (correspondent). The simultaneous narrations of them were intelligible only to the trained faculties of the reporter. “She screamed all night in pain and even peeled off her burnt skin,” said Ramdas the village headman. Another intoned” We could only take Anjamma to the hospital late next morning when a jeep became available. “ The hospital is 35Km away “ “But by the time we reached the ill equipped hospital she had given up her ghost already”. “ No one in the village was ready to participate in her last rite initially” “She has possessed scores of people ever since. She first caught Chandramma the very day when her last rites were performed” “And now it is Pavatamma and Sunita the daughter of Chandramma” “ Chandraamma was possessed by Ajamma she said I am not going to leave this world until I fulfill all my desires.” Said 12-year-old Kathamma. “There are other women who are behaving hysterically.” An eerie pall seemed to have descended on the village. Villagers are afraid to venture out in the night. Casual guests are insisted upon to stay on even by the most impolite guest haters for reassurance.

An eerie pall seemed to have descended on the village. Villagers are afraid to venture out in the night. Casual guests are insisted upon to stay on even by the most impolite guest haters for reassurance. The ghost of Anjamma is making the life of villagers of makta Venkatapur in Kulkcharia mandal of dist: Rangareddy in the state of Karnataka miserable. The ghost haunts the hearts and minds and the streets without a pause so much that it has wrecked the economy of the village beyond repair. The wild boars have destroyed their standing crops for they wouldn’t come out in the night come what may, afraid of catching a glimpse of Anjamma or getting possessed and all the troubles that are associated with ghosts.

G. Anjamma wife of Mr. Chemnaiah of this village had set herself ablaze in February 15 2007 because of her differences with her handicapped husband
