Crimes From The East

To be a Bhoot or not to be a Bhoot?! That is the question we never find the answer to in part 2 of this spooky series. There are SO many types of Indian Bhoots(ghosts) in the book & Alex had a blast delving into some of them like the fish loving Bengali Mecho, the Ghecho, the Bhego, the handsome driftwood dude Beri & uhhm how do we put this..a tribe of people with no anuses. Yup. You heard me.  Bollywood corner: Stree Source for the series is the book 'Ghosts, Monsters and Demons of India'. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738269/ghosts-monsters-and-demons-of-india-by-rakesh-khanna/ Support Us: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/crimesfromtheeast/membership Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crimesfromeast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crimesfromtheeast/ Email us: [email protected]

It's Halloween week and we're claiming it back as a desi phenomenon. We're no experts in lore, religion or culture but that won't stop us from diving deep into the spooky waters of desi Demons! Alex read a book called 'Ghosts, Monsters, and Demons of India' and narrates all about some very sinister creatures in there like the Pisacha, Uthlen, TasmaPa and Deyyam.

On Jan 24th 2020, the double murders of sisters 27 yr old Alekhya & 23 yr old Sai Divya in Madanapalle rocked India just as the Pandemic had put the nation into lockdown. Their family was so entrenched in the delusions & superstitions of a mentally unwell instigator. The shared delusions of salvation & resurrection seemed to have suddenly led to these strange & spine-tingling murders of the sister by their own parents. The case is so convoluted and it's nearly impossible to make sense of who instigated & manipulated whom. What do you think?

An episode about misadventures like the unfortunate journey of the janky Titan sub & an ungrateful Everest rescuee. Alex has a couple of tales for the Jungle News section like how to get rid of annoying Monkeys & a thieving CIA doggo! Also, if you can't have onions..why even eat right? What's your fav Jugaad btw? 

In the middle of the Pandemic in 2021, Bharti Kaste was sick with worry over her missing family. Her 21 yr old sister Rupali was missing along with their mother, sister & 2 young cousins. Rupali had been in a relationship for 3 years with their landlord Surendra Chauhan. When she confronted him about his clandestine engagement to another girl, Rupali & her family went missing. Bharti didn't give up & fought for justice for her family till a very sad & shocking revelation 6 feet under the Chauhan Farm. Hers's a case where the archaic and horrible caste system raises it's ugly head to sway people into believing they could simply get rid of an entire family simply because they considered them beneath them.
