Men flee Telangana village amid claims of 'female ghost' that only attacks men

Strange incidents in different parts of the world often trigger superstitious beliefs and rumour mongering among people. But in the absence of an explanation for such mysterious occurrences, it becomes hard to separate truth from fiction.

Stories about ghosts, witches and monsters have often made headlines in India, and now a tiny village in Telangana seems to be getting attention for the same. Only women live in Kasiguda since all the men fled after the story of a female ghost attacking only male residents spread in the area.

The tale emerged after three men including two brothers were killed in three months and people started claiming that they were strangled by the female ghost. Most of the houses in the village are abandoned and people who stayed back sleep as soon as the sun sets and don’t leave home before sunrise.

Women say that no woman was attacked by the ghost, while people have refused to return until the village is free from the female ghost.
