This incident was told to me by my father.It happened to one of his uncles sometime around the year 1957.Back then his uncle often used to go hunting in the forests of Mangaldoi since my father’s ancestral home is in Mangaldoi(Assam).

Like on many other days his uncle went hunting alone and climbed up a tree to wait planning to shoot any deer or other animal that might pass below.That was a common path for such animals.It was also a full moon night so everything was visible clearly in the moonlight.

Around that time there was a cholera outbreak in many parts of Assam and especially in villages around Mangaldoi.Many people had died.However his uncle wasn’t aware that the village near the forest he was in had also been severely affected with many deaths.

While he was waiting on the tree for his prey suddenly he started hearing a sound like anklets or ghungroos jingling.He thought it might be a porcupine (“Ketela Pohu” in Assamese)and he got ready to hunt it.

But after a while he noticed that the sound wasn’t coming from a porcupine.Instead two human like figures appeared.They were of medium height and wore strange ornaments made of snail shells around their necks, on their clothes, even on their staffs and on their feet.They moved slowly and kept approaching.

As they got closer he realized they didn’t quite look human.Alarmed but alert he thought to himself “Whoever they are if they come right beneath me i’ll shoot.”

And that’s exactly what happened when they reached right below the tree he fired his gun.The moment the shot hit one of the figures instantly turned into a crow and dropped to the ground dead.The other let out a terrifying scream and fled into the forest and was never seen again.

In the morning when his uncle climbed down the crow was still lying there but he didn’t touch it.He went straight home.

From that day onward he never went hunting alone in that forest again.
