For hundreds of years, Mayong village in Assam was known as India’s ‘black magic capital’. The village was once thronged by mystics, sadhus, and seekers of truth, but also by tantriks, aghori babas and seekers of power. They came here drawn by magical stories of armies disappearing into thin air, or men being turned into animals. Who built this terrifying reputation and why?

‘Rumors’ shines a light on the darkest corners of India, where fact and fiction combine into magical and haunting stories.
