In the coastal town of Varuna, fishermen believed in an old superstition—that tying thirteen knots on a black thread during a new moon could summon the sea’s darkest spirits. Most thought it was just an old wives’ tale… until Arun tried it.
Arun was a quiet man, angry at his brother for stealing his inheritance. One stormy night, he visited an abandoned shrine on the edge of the shore. There, under the eerie glow of a single oil lamp, he tied thirteen knots into a black thread, whispering his brother’s name with each knot. He then tossed it into the raging sea.
By dawn, the waves were unnaturally calm, but the village awoke to shocking news—Arun’s brother had been found dead, his body twisted as if strangled by invisible hands. The thread was never seen again, but the old shrine’s door is now nailed shut. Villagers warn that if anyone unties those knots, the spirit bound within will return… and it will not come alone.
