Deep in the Sahyadris lies Katalgaon—
a quiet village where silence runs deeper than the river, and
stories are passed down like warnings. Fourteen-year-old
Manas is sent up the mountain one morning with nothing but
his cattle and his fear. He returns trembling.
The next day, the cattle begin to die. The village begins to talk. And soon, whispers become rituals. As suspicion thickens and old fears are stirred awake, Manas
becomes the center of something far more terrifying than any
ghost story. Because in Katalgaon, it’s not the forest that’s dangerous—
It’s what people choose to believe about it. A haunting tale of fear, guilt, and how far a community will go
to protect what it doesn’t understand, Katalgaon is a slowburn horror that buries itself deep under your skin—and stays
there .
