Question
Mahendra calls ghosts or spirits a figment of the imagination. What happens to him on a full-moon night?
Answer
On a full-moon night, Mahendra is woken from his sleep by a low moan near his window. Initially, he thinks it is a cat, but the sound becomes louder and more guttural. When he looks out of the window, he sees a dark, cloudy form clutching a bundle, exactly like the female ghost Iswaran had described. Terrified, Mahendra breaks into a cold sweat and falls back onto his pillow, panting heavily.
