As a lifestyle expert with a keen interest in folklore and the paranormal, I must say that my conversation with Sarbajeet Mohanty has been nothing short of enlightening. His experiences in investigating these tales have provided fascinating insights into the realm of the unexplained.
Over the past few years, I’ve noticed a significant emphasis on folklore in Bollywood, from Tumbadd and Pari to Bulbbul, Munjya, and the popular Stree series. Lately, I had the opportunity to sit down with paranormal investigator Sarbajeet Mohanty for an exclusive interview at TopMob, where he shared his thoughts on whether these eerie tales are grounded in reality or merely works of fiction.
Mohanty commented that Munjya and Stree are fascinating tales worth exploring. He noted there are many similar stories like these. He went on to share a story he heard from Odisha, saying an old woman visits in the dead of night, rings the bell, and demands onions. If you fail to provide her with onions, she is said to take your life, sometimes even making a call beforehand, allowing you to hear her if you pick up.
In the past, we only had a landline and if it rang during the night, we would usually let it go unanswered. Later, we discovered that keeping a tulsi plant nearby was said to keep unwanted visitors away. As Sarbajeet explained to TopMob, when he was younger, he was told that stories were fabricated during periods of high onion prices, as a means to obtain some onions by pretending to be in need.
In our chat, Sarbajeet Mohanty mentioned that the initial tale behind Stree Part 1 originated in Bangalore. Residents there would write ‘Naleba’ outside their homes to signify no one was home, so not to disturb until the next day. There was a common belief that a knock on your door would be someone resembling a relative, and if you opened, it could lead to trouble. The creators of Stree transformed this for the silver screen as ‘O Stree Kal Aana’.

In simpler terms, Mohanty recounted an experience when some individuals intentionally spread false legends or stories. This occurred during a case he investigated in Odisha, where people claimed to see a monster consuming cattle and sheep at night. The locals asserted that after the creature had eaten the internal organs, only the carcass was found with distinctive marks on it.
Sarbajeet explained, “We received word that the monster had appeared in another village too, so we went there along with our team, which included a TV crew. We positioned our cameras at three different spots suggested by the villagers. The creature spanned over a distance of three kilometers. We began our search at 9 PM, listening to all the stories told by the locals. However, despite the claims, we didn’t observe anything for around 7-8 hours.”
After concluding our day, we received a call the following day about another similar incident occurring. I was left puzzled as to how this happened when we had such a large setup and didn’t notice anything. Mohanty continued by mentioning that it wasn’t until a month later that we heard reports of those animals’ organs being smuggled. It turned out there were individuals who were brutally killing them, making it seem like animal attacks, and then selling their body parts on the black market.
Sarbajeet states that they referenced a story from folklore featuring a creature. This creature has the physical traits of a monster with extended claws, the head of a fox, and the body of a human. It is known to hunt and kill animals.
Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 is currently in theatres.
