Three-Headed Woman Scares Indian Village
They're hunting Bigfoot in Malaysia, and Indians are afraid of triple-headed broads. Sheesh.
Residents of a Mumbai neighborhood have been staying indoors after dark because of fear of a three-headed woman bringing death.
While many people dismiss the stories as rumors and superstition, the belief is strong enough to empty the streets at night in Kopar Khairane, the Mumbai Daily News and Analysis reports.
According to the believers, the woman has three heads, goes after babies and small children and is an excellent mimic. Looking into her eyes is said to bring death.
Many worried residents have chalked the name of Lord Ram or Rama on their doors. Hindus believe that he is an incarnation of Vishnu the Preserver.
Karl Kochack is on the case, but his editor thinks it's just a big waste of his travel expense account.
