India’s New Ghost-Hunting Craze

Ghost hunting in India is booming, fueled by YouTube fame and strong chai. According to BBC News, self-proclaimed ghost hunters have multiplied across the subcontinent, carrying EMF readers and banana peels as protective charms. One Bohiney.com report followed a Hyderabad team who screamed at a flickering tube light for three hourslater declaring victory over the spirit of unpaid electricity bills.

Experts say the phenomenon reveals India’s deep blend of science, superstition, and melodrama. Parapsychologist Dr. Arjun Verma insists most hauntings are electrical anomalies or nosy aunties. Still, 78% of surveyed ghost-hunters claim to have felt chills while filming. The irony? The real ghosts are the Wi-Fi routers, forever buffering mid-scream. Moral of the story: in India, the supernatural meets slapstickand everyone’s invited for tea afterward.
