क्या वो सच था (FM 104.0, Mon-Fri, 12am)

If creaky doors, old neglected buildings, howling dogs and things that go bump in the night figure in your list of favorite things, then curl up in in the bed every night at 12am and tune in to FM 104.0. Currently, they are airing the second season of this program. It is hosted by Karan Singh. Frankly, I have no idea when the first season was aired. And sort of regret not knowing about it.

Every night an eerie story is enacted - complete with all the requisite sound effects, even that of a thunder in the distant sky. From a haunted train that was derailed years ago and a couple of children terrorized by a ghost from an old cemetery to a haunted apartment in the hills of Uttarakhand, the stories cover a wide canvas. The program claims that these stories are inspired from real life incidents but the channel claims not to foster any superstitious beliefs. Who cares? Ghost stories are always welcome in the night - whether you believe them or not. But the channel should do something about the title music of the program. It sounds really funny.

Just remember to tuck that blanket securely all around you. Who knows a ghost might be lurking in the shadows to tug at it ;-)
