-- Here's a fascinating photo narrative from Reuters: "Malajpur is a small but not ordinary village in central India. In fact it is probably the only village in India which has been hosting a ghost fair for the past several years. People from across the country come to this fair to get rid of 'evil spirits' that they claim to be possessed by."
