Bollywood horror hit Stree looks like a lot of fun, blending horror with comedy. Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi shine with their funny lines, while Shraddha Kapoor adds a romantic touch opposite Rao. The film mixes this lightheartedness with a spooky story about a town scared of a female ghost who visits every year, taking away only the clothes of men.

This year, Stree 2 also came out and was a big hit. The creepiest part? It is said that the film is based on a real-life story—there really was a "stree" or female spirit like the one in the movie!

Read The Full Story Below: 

The legend of 'Naale Ba,' which started in the Malleshwaram village of Karnataka in the 20th century, is quite spooky. It tells the story of a ghostly witch who haunted the streets at night. In the 1990s, people started sharing stories about this witch who would knock on doors and mimic the voices of loved ones to trick people into opening up. Those who fell for it would disappear mysteriously. According to the legend, the witch was a bride who had died on her wedding day and returned as a vengeful spirit looking for those who let her in.

As stories of disappearing families and empty homes started to spread, the villagers panicked. To protect themselves, a wise old man came up with a clever idea. He suggested the villagers to write "Nale Ba" (which means "Come Tomorrow" in Kannada) on their doors. The thought was that this would confuse the witch, making her think she would have to come back the next day. Surprisingly, this trick worked! The witch, seeing the message every night, would leave and never come back.

Even though the Naale Ba legend is mostly seen as a myth, it has become an important part of Karnataka’s cultural heritage. Some people view it as just a spooky story, while others share creepy experiences that link back to it. Whether you see it as simple folklore or a symbol of human bravery, the Naale Ba story continues to be a fascinating and lasting part of local tradition.
