- Swapnil Desai “Witch” – The one word that is as fearful or dreaded as a Demon. Wicca – A religion shunned by the New World. Witchcraft – A subject more feared than accepted.   When I was asked to write on this subject, I willingly and promptly accepted, not because of any “folklorish” elements of this topic that I will be addressing, but its because Who I am and What I believe is hugely misunderstood.   As much as the origin of the word “witch” is still debated, One popular etymology for witch maintains that it is related to the English words wit , wise , wisdom [Germanic root * weit- , * wait-, * wit- ; Indo-European root * weid -.* woid- , * wid- ]. 1   Another theory claims that witch is derived from a root meaning “holy” or “sacred” and thus reflects the witch’s ancient religious role [Germanic root * weih- , * waih-, * wih- ; Indo-European root * weik -, * woik- , * wik- ]. This appears in the Modern German word for Christmas, Weihnacht, literally “holy...

Dasaavtra - Theory of evolution   While the rest of the world waited for Theory of evolution till 19th century, India had it since 3138 BCE.

- Shishir Kumar And the later part night went discussing that what we just saw was what the Bengali legends call Dakini or this is the entity that is known as Chudail. Still not clear, but we had definitely seen something very disturbing. It was a challenge I had taken up. A tantric in his mid 40s had asked me to accompany him to the funeral ground where he would evoke the spirits and I would be able to see them. The condition was I should not run away. I? Run Away? Are you serious? He had asked me to come by 11 at night. But out of anxiety and pure happiness, I bought a bottle of 100 pipers and rushed to his house exact at 9. As I barged into his hut, he sat on a mat that looked like a cheap replica of tiger skin. That was the only cloth around him. Further, he was covered with beads and rosary. That was what I could see prima facie. His hut had an entry from right, he sat in the middle of opposite wall and visitors could sit leaning the left wall of the house. As my e...

-Shishir Kumar Switching from a bona fide crime reporter to a paranormal researcher indeed needed a jolt to start. Prior, dealing crime scene, visiting post mortem houses and sitting besides depleted dead bodies and writing notes was an everyday affair. No fear and no thought of ghost. The inherit fear and belief on ghost, that I had since childhood, had vanished with time. I could without emotion see the lynched bodies, whose sight would give a normal person sleepless nights for months. I sat as the postmortem went on, sipping tea, peeping inside the corpse to understand what led to the organ failure. In this routine life I too needed a break. An evening I switched off all the phones and caught a bus to my native village. That was how I did it every time, even my office and family was OK with it by then. My village lies very near to the Himalayan range. It had just two families till 50s, who had shifted post Bhoodan movement in that area, later joined by labors and Bangl...

                                                   PHANTOSMIA -Dr. Rahul Kumar Phantom odors have always been tied to haunting and ghost stories.  Before sophisticated equipment could measure EMF and voice recorders were picking up EVPs, personal stories of encounters with the supernatural nearly always came accompanied with a particular odor.  Even today, part of our investigator's interview questionnaire always include questions about phantom odors, and any personal experiences involving such are carefully documented. But why are we so interested in phantom odors? Many believe that phantom odors are an excellent way for an entity to communicate with the living.  It presumably takes less energy to manifest a scent than to manifest as a visual apparition, make a noise, or move an object in our realm.  Certain scents can...
