600 Students Flee in Fear After Strange Incident in Maharashtra A bizarre incident unfolded in Maharashtra’s Amravati district on August 19, 2026, when over 600 students from a government hostel for Scheduled Tribes fled their accommodation in the dead of night, panicking over strange noises and rumors of supernatural activity. The hostel, located in the Domam village of Chikalthana taluka, had been home to more than 800 students, but the incident left the facility deserted as terrified pupils abandoned their beds, clutching belongings and rushing to their villages. The chaos began when students reported hearing unusual sounds—muffled screams, footsteps, and what they described as a “ghostly presence”—during the night. These accounts quickly spread, fueling fears of supernatural forces. Some students claimed to have seen shadows moving in their rooms, while others reported feeling a cold breeze despite the warm weather. The rumors escalated, with local villagers attributing the disturbances to the spirit of a young man who had died in the area years ago or to the disturbance of a sacred tree that had been felled. By the morning, the panic had reached a peak. Over 600 students, including 345 girls and 263 boys, left the hostel, abandoning their studies and homes. The hostel, once bustling with activity, was left eerily silent. Parents and community members, alarmed by the rumors, began to question the safety of the facility, leading to widespread speculation about the cause of the disturbances. Medical experts from the district’s public hospital later investigated the incident. They concluded that the students’ behavior was not due to any supernatural forces but rather a case of mass hysteria, triggered by intense anxiety and fear.
