Haunted Village
4/5
Jatinga Village
Jatinga is a serene mountain village in Assam's Dima Hasao district that has earned international notoriety for a mysterious, harrowing avian phenomenon often dubbed the 'bird suicide' mystery. On foggy, moonless monsoon nights between September and November, forty species of migratory and local birds plunge toward lit torches and searchlights in a state of extreme disorientation. Coupled with local ethnic folklore regarding nocturnal forest spirits, Jatinga remains one of Northeast India's most perplexing natural and supernatural enigmas.
