Sheba realises there is something mysterious in her new surroundings. She tried to learn the history of the bungalow and the dwellers and investigated secretly. Old family friend Dr. Choudhury and Shankar's cousin Satyabhusan were very much related with the family. Sheba suddenly knew that two murders took place there nearly seven years earlier. She saw mysterious incidents happen. A lady like Shankar's deceased wife sings and walks in the adjacent jungle almost every night to attract the girl child and his father Shankar.
