The twist? It’s not just tales spun out of the imagination but real-life experiences as well. The category of performances ranges from dark poetry to horror comedy to creepy music, where performers draw upon their own experiences as well as recite fictional narratives. Manasi Singh, 27, who was a performer at the last session, says that horror storytelling is the art of making the listener wonder whether what they’ve experienced is real. An author of four books, Singh narrates an incident that she experienced at a beach in Vishakhapatnam. “We happened to go there in the evening, when the energy in the village changes,” she says. “We ended up encountering a person, who we later found out was not really a person, and that one chance encounter led us to uncover a really dark secret about the village.”

For the upcoming June 10 session, the fourth such event by Kasa Kai, paranormal investigators and demonologists Pooja Vijay, 45, and Sarbajeet Mohanty, 26, will be present for a Q&A session on what exactly defines the realms of the nether world.

The two co-founded Parapsychology and Investigations Research Society (PAIRS) in 2016, which works to investigate places that supposedly contain spirits and demystify the concepts of supernatural entities. “The aim was to help out souls of both worlds—the living and the dead. Pooja and I both began our journey from a place of fear,” says Mohanty.  He explains how his journey to uncover the otherworldly experiences he’d faced made him want to help others who’d been affected by similar incidents.

While there may be sceptics out there, Singh believes there is another plane of existence. She describes writing a book about a haunted house, in which an Army colonel was murdered, only to later find out that a place like that actually existed. “The story just came to me. It almost felt like someone was whispering in my ear.”
