  • SPOOKS 5: FAN FEVER
    Jul 6 2023

    Most of us think Himesh Reshammiya’s popularity was fuelled by his baseball cap, signature nasal twang and proficiency with mixing qawwali and modern beats. But some say the actual cause… is ghosts. Why did multiple villages in Gujarat ban his song ‘Jhalak Dikhla ja’? Did they really believe it caused listeners to become possessed by spirits?

    One strange story. One disturbed place. Many unsolved questions. This is Spooks, a new miniseries in the world of ‘Rumors’.

    Back in 1983, Pavagada taluk in Karnataka was shaken by a horrifying series of child abductions. Children sleeping right next to their parents were taken from their beds in the middle of the night. Their remains would later be found at the edge of town. Who took these children? And why? What really happened? Let’s dive into the unsolved mystery of Pavagada’s missing girls.

  • SPOOKS 3: UNHOLY HOURS
    Jun 22 2023

    Day or night, The Three Kings chapel in Goa remains shrouded in silence. But the peace of daytime transitions to eeriness after sundown. Visitors often experience an uneasy feeling or see creepy shadowy figures. If a legend attached to this church is to be believed, this was once the site of violence and bloodshed. What if the violence and bloodshed still linger on as a haunting?

    One strange story. One disturbed place. Many unsolved questions. This is Spooks, a new miniseries in the world of ‘Rumors’.
