This happened when our team was working in HUL Chindwara plant for Odus Flooring. A team of 4 workers - Rajkumar, Govind, Raj and Sourabh were lead by our project manager - Priyanshee there.

It was a long project so we had taken a monthly room for rent for the 4 workers.

2 weeks into the project, one morning they all came and complaint that there is a ghost in their room.

How did they know there was a ghost?

They said they could hear different voices from the roof - like someone was screaming, the sound of bangles, ghungroo etc. Also, they were skeptical about this from the beginning because they found coconuts in the room.

They said they were facing this issue from many days but the last night it was just too much.

Why we couldn’t ignore the “Ghost”?

At first we all laughed at it - specially Priyanshee who is a complete non believer when it comes to these things.
But then we realized it was important to red rid of this “ghost”. Because even if there was no ghost on the roof, there surely was one in their mind!

We were worried that if we did not solve this to their 500% satisfaction, there are chances that they will start feeling that the “ghost” is having some negative effect on their lives and health. Or worse, they could also feel that they have got possessed or something.

These are the kind of stories that are regularly told in their villages and therefore ingrained in their belief system too.

Steps we took to Solve This:

Step 1: Interrogation

Priyanshee talked to each one of them separately. This process revealed that only 2 (Sourabh and Govind) of them heard voices, while the other two (Rajkumar and Raj) did not. They only were only told about it from the other 2.

Also, we got to know that Sourabh and Govind were fond of horror movies and stayed up till late at night.

Step 2: Assurance and Proof Gathering

Priyanshee talked to the land lord on speaker with all 4 of them hearing the conversation. She told the land lord about the issue and asked him if something like this has happened before. The landlord said there is nothing like that and he had visited them a few days ago when none of them said anything about it.

We also suggested the team to talk to neighbors to check if they have also experienced something similar.

We even asked them to record the voices next time they hear it.

Final Step: It takes Iron to cut Iron

We bought a hanuman ji poster for their room. Also found Hanuman chalisa on Youtube and asked them to listen to it.

Priyanshee also did their counselling and told them that if at all there is a ghost, it is inside them. And for it to go away, they have to work internally only. So they need to stop watching horror movies and replace it with positive thoughts. Maybe chanting hanuman chalisa.

We finally sent them back and hoped for the best.

Did the Ghost come that night?

Thankfully no! We were successful in getting rid of the ghost :)
