The celebrated author Ruskin Bond has touched our lives in more ways than one, thanks to his well-written poems, short stories, the immensely lovable character Rusty and his adventures or the spooky ghost stories that he penned. Now 12 of the legendary writer’s short horror stories have come to life in the ZEE5 Original series Parchhayee: Ghost Stories By Ruskin Bond.
Since it is available in Kannada, now you too take a trip with the author on his journey of spooky tales set in the hilly areas of India. Unlike the gory looking ghosts we see in movies, Ruskin’s stories have a more relatable touch to it because the ghosts aren’t doused in make-up and don’t appear out of nowhere, contrary to the cliches that we have seen in movies.
This 12-episode series shows how memories of an old place of spirits that reside there can come to life at night and their subtle facial expressions are enough to send a chill down your spine. The best part is that the ensemble of actors for each episode has been picked aptly so the episodes are nothing but spook-filled entertaining little sessions that any horror enthusiast will enjoy.
