Whispers of Charmadi Ghat

Radha, a determined and ambitious 26-year-old, had always been known for her dedication to work. She had traveled to her aunt’s village to celebrate the festival. However, her plans took an unexpected turn when an urgent call from her office disrupted the festivities.

With a crucial client meeting scheduled for the next morning, Radha had no choice but to cut her visit short. Despite her aunt’s concern, she decided to drive back late at night.

Radha fastened her seatbelt, her fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel. The distant sounds of crickets and the rustling leaves filled the stillness of the village night.

Her aunt, Anu, stood by the gate, her face clouded with worry.

"Radha, are you sure about this?" Anu asked, her voice heavy with concern. "It’s not safe to drive this late it's already 12 : 30, especially through Charmadi Ghat. You know the stories—people meeting with strange, unexplainable accidents there."

Charmadi Ghat, is a place name ,it is a stunning sight during the day, with misty hills, waterfalls, and lush green forests. It's a peaceful retreat, perfect for nature lovers.

But at night, it becomes a place of fear. The roads are dark and dangerous, with sharp curves, and eerie silence fills the air. Locals tell stories of mysterious accidents, strange shadows, and figures disappearing into the night.

Charmadi gath is the only way out of the village which connects to the main road.so every traveler must go through this path it is 25 km long forest path.

Radha sighed, forcing a reassuring smile. "Aunty, I’ll drive carefully. Trust me, nothing will happen. I’ll stick to the speed limit and keep my eyes on the road."

Anu’s unease deepened. "Can’t you just stay the night? It’s only a few hours until morning. You don’t need to risk it."

"I can’t, aunty. My client’s arriving tomorrow morning, and I have an important meeting. I can’t afford to miss it," Radha explained, her tone firm but calm.

Anu clutched her shawl tightly. "Then take your uncle with you. At least you’ll have someone to keep you company."

Radha shook her head, chuckling softly. "Aunty, it’s fine. Uncle doesn’t need to lose sleep over this. I’ll manage on my own. Don’t worry so much."

Anu’s eyes narrowed with a mix of exasperation and worry. "Radha, listen to me. No matter what, don’t stop your car in Charmadi Ghat. Not for anything. Do you hear me?"

Radha waved dismissively. "Yes, yes, aunty. I got it. I’ll be fine." She started the car, its headlights cutting through the darkness. "You worry too much. I’ll call you once I reach home, okay?"

Anu watched the car roll down the narrow road, its taillights disappearing into the night. She murmured under her breath, "God, please keep her safe. There’s something about that place... all those accidents, and no one knows why. It’s as if Charmadi Ghat is cursed."

The wind picked up, whispering through the trees, as Radha’s car disappeared into the blackness of the forested hills.
