There are some peoples who become happy in others' unhappiness. Robert is one of them. He always fond of devilry work. No one is free from his devilry works in the village. Village peoples always avoided him. Once he became very aged. His ability of doing harm of peoples became lesser than earlier. One day he called in all his neighbors in his home.
He said, "I know that you all hate me. I am very shamed for my bad works in my life. Now I am very aged and sick. I will die soon. Please forgive me. I have a last request to all of you. Will you keep my request?"The peoples agreed to his request.
Robert explained, "I want to atone for my sins. Don't bury me after my death. Instead, hang my body on a big banyan tree at the crossroads. Without it I have no way of getting forgiveness."
The people complied with his request and returned to their homes. Robert died just a few days later. According to reports, the villagers hung Robert's body at the crossroads. After some time, the police came to know about it. Police took the body for autopsy and a case was filed in the name of everyone in the village.There is no end to the suffering of the people of the village. As much as Robert did while he was alive, he did more harm after he died. The dead devil is in no way inferior to the living devil.
After much harassment and suffering, people were freed from legal complications. Even after all those, peace did not return to the village. New problems arose in the village. This time Robert's spirit frightened many people in the village. No one used to walk at that intersection of roads at night. Fear of the soul made night sleep forbidden. Robert caused as much unrest in the village as he did before he died.
