SEC-S30W2: Legends of My Country: (Shakchunni)

Source

I will share with you the story of Shakchunni, the most real legend of our country. In fact, there are many mysterious supernatural stories in the history and folklore of Bangladesh, and this story is one of them. However, Shakchunni is one of the most terrifying legends. According to old history and folklore, Shakchunni is the spirit of a married woman who suddenly dies prematurely.

It is also said that they wear red sarees and walk around with branches in their hands and usually near large trees such as bamboo trees and lonely rocks. Many also believe that Shakchunni imitates human voices and calls out to pedestrians in danger. These stories have been prevalent in rural Bengal for generations. There are many such stories in this position in the environmental conditions of Bangladesh.

Anyway, a narrow dirt road passed by our village. And next to that road, a big banyan tree stands with its head held high. Since childhood, we used to hear that if someone goes near that banyan tree at night, something strange happens. And the elders of the village have always warned that no one should go that way at night. There is a belief among everyone in the whole village that if someone goes near that banyan tree at night, something bad will happen there.

One day, a friend of mine was returning home from the city in the evening and to go to their home they have to go through that dirt road, then darkness has fallen around and only a few houses in the distance can be seen with lights. However, my friend bravely started walking along this terrible dirt road where a very big banyan tree is standing.

When he was walking near the banyan tree, he heard someone's soft crying in a sad tone. At first, he thought that a woman might be in danger. He went a little further, but then he saw a woman wearing a red saree standing under the tree, her face could not be seen clearly. As it was night, he thought that the clear face could not be seen because of the night. In this situation, the woman slowly said, "Brother, please help me."

The friend suddenly felt fear. He noticed that the woman had branches in her hands. Right then, he remembered the story of the Shakchunni that his grandmother had told him. He looked down and saw that the woman was turning upside down. The friend's body started shaking with fear and he didn't stand there for a moment. He quickly ran towards the village. When he reached home, he told everyone about your story while panting.

The next morning, many people in the village went to the banyan tree but nothing was found there. Even though everyone understood, Riyad might have really encountered the Shakchunni. Since then, no one in the village walks on that road at night. The banyan tree is still standing there. This mysterious story of people is a strange and scary place.

And this is how people are passing the day, but at night, everyone in their neighborhood, their relatives and neighbors have forbidden everyone from walking on that road at night to protect them from this danger and everyone is aware of this. Thank you very much to all the singers.

I want to invite my friends
