The Wandering Souls of Rohi
Description
A few years back, there were some living a peaceful life in the Toba Bahu Janan Wala. Their livelihoods were largely dependent on livestock such as cows, goats, sheep and other animals which were taken out for daytime grazing and brought back in the evening. One evening when they counted the animals, two of the cows were missing. The people got worried as their animals might have got lost in the wilderness of the desert while grazing. As they started looking around for those animals, it became very hot and as it was very sunny there soon was shortage of drinking water. But despite all their efforts, they could not find their animals and their food and water ran out. In the evening, as they were still searching, they lost their way home. For many days they kept walking in the desert and as they did not find any water, they couldn’t walk anymore and fell down. But, eventually they got up again and kept going looking for the water in any nearby toba. [Unfortunately], they couldn’t reach any toba or find any water and eventually died very close to a toba. Next day, their families got worried that there was no news of them. So they sent three to four villagers out looking for the lost members. After searching all day at the end, they found the [lifeless] corpses of the people, picked them up and went back home.
It is believed that the spirits of those people are still wandering around. The atmosphere in this village is so scary that people often stay away from that place, particularly during moonless nights when people never travel there.
