n the serene town of Mokhada, nestled within Maharashtra’s Palghar district, whispers of an isolated farmhouse have sparked curiosity and intrigue among the residents. With a hushed tone, they describe it as “khoop aat madhe aahey” (located deep inside), alluding to its secluded and enigmatic aura.
Aadi Ramdas, a 25-year-old farmer from a nearby village, shares snippets of the farmhouse’s clandestine activities. “Two men would come here twice a month in their car,” he reveals, his voice carrying a tinge of caution. “Mostly alone, at times with their families, they’d discreetly slip into the shadows of the farmhouse, shrouded in an air of secrecy.” He pauses, reflecting on the peculiarities he’d observed. “They made it abundantly clear to the watchman that they desired solitude during their brief stays, urging him to keep a low profile and vanish from sight.”
As he narrates, the picture of stillness during the sunlit hours contrasts sharply with the enigmatic energy that pulsated from within the confines of the farmhouse at nightfall. “All would be quiet during the day,” Aadi continues, “but as darkness cloaked the surroundings, the once-dormant lights would flicker to life, casting an eerie glow that seemed to beckon a world unknown.”
In this tight-knit community, rumors have sprouted like weeds, each attempting to unravel the shroud of mystery veiling the farmhouse’s elusive inhabitants. Speculations abound, and the townsfolk, with their insatiable curiosity, continue to weave tales of intrigue and fascination around the secluded farmhouse, an enigmatic entity that remains a subject of both fear and fascination in the tranquil landscape of Mokhada.
