01Plot
A woman, Sheba Mitra, comes to a remote hill town, Nijhumgarh, to be the governess of a girl, Ranu. Shankar Roy is the owner of the almost haunted bungalow called Raykuthi. Ranu is his only child. Sheba realises there is something mysterious in her new surroundings. She tries to learn the history of the bungalow and the dwellers and investigates secretly. Old family friend Dr. Choudhury and Shankar's cousin Satyabhusan were much related with the family. Sheba suddenly gets to know that two murders had taken place there nearly seven years earlier. She saw mysterious incidents happen. A lady resembling Shankar's deceased wife Aparna sings and walks in the adjacent jungle almost every night to attract the girl child and his father Shankar. Sheba could only pray for it to leave as the rules of the physical world are transcended. It is revealed that the main culprit is someone close to and trusted by the family.
