• SPOOKS 5: FAN FEVER
    Jul 6 2023

But some say the actual cause… is ghosts. Why did multiple villages in Gujarat ban his song ‘Jhalak Dikhla ja’? Did they really believe it caused listeners to become possessed by spirits?

    One strange story. One disturbed place. Many unsolved questions. This is Spooks, a new miniseries in the world of ‘Rumors’.
