Shah Maran

Shah Maran (in Kurdish Şahmaran/Şamaran) is a mythical creature, half woman and half snake, found in Kurdish folktales with various variations in the folklore of Iran, Anatolia and Iraq. In many Kurdish homes, women draw a picture of Shah Maran on a package and hang it on the wall. These paintings appear on the walls of Kurdish houses, Shahmaran, as an animal with many legs, especially as a special animal between a scorpion and a snake. The name Shahmaran comes from the Persian words “Shah” and “Maran”.[1] “Shah” is a title used for Persian kings, and “Mar” means snake, but in the plural form “Mar-an” means snakes.

Curse of Shah Maran

In one of the remote villages, where there were dense trees and deep darkness, there was an old house that had been abandoned for many years. People in the village say that this house carries an ancient curse linked to the legend of Shahmaran, a supernatural being who appears at night to hunt down those who dare to invade his property.

The events revolve around a group of adventurous young people who decided to discover whether the legends were real or not. This band of four friends, Tia, Mark, Layla and Ryan, decide to enter the abandoned house on a dark and stormy night.

As they searched the dark hallways of the house with flickering flashlights, strange sounds began to rise in the air. They had no idea what awaited them, but they soon began to feel the presence of something supernatural and terrifying watching them.

In the midst of terror and stress, they begin to see strange visions and hear whispering voices coming from the darkness. In a moment of madness, Shah Maran appeared before them in his terrifying form, with bright red eyes and sharp claws like knives.

Shah Maran begins to appear repeatedly to the group, as they move between reality and nightmares. Events accelerate with horror and dread, and they realize that they have opened a door to the world of evil spirits.

As they attempt to escape, they find themselves trapped in a curse they cannot escape. Will anyone survive this terrible nightmare? Or will they all be victims of supernatural forces?

The intensity of terror and tension increases with every moment, as they face a true test of the strength of friendship and courage in the face of ruthless monsters.

As terror escalates and events become more complex, the group discovers that the curse of Shah Maran is not just a myth, but rather an ancient force seeking revenge. The friends must uncover the secrets of the abandoned house and the dark history connected to it.

As they try to understand how to break the curse, they discover that there is a spiritual barrier between the two worlds, and they need to undertake a harrowing mission to free the trapped souls. They only have one night to confront Shah Maran and try to end his curse, otherwise they will remain captive in this dark universe forever.

In a confrontation with Shah Maran, they find themselves in an epic battle between good and evil. They must rely on their ingenuity and courage to confront this monster that brings with it terror and doom.

While they are on the verge of collapse, they gather their strength and decide among themselves to search and not give up. They must face their deepest fears and overcome terrifying challenges to search for a solution to this great dilemma that could end their lives and even be an island solution to restore balance to the world and release enslaved souls.

As the adventurers continue their journey inside the abandoned house, the darkness grows darker and the terrifying sounds become more real. The group realizes that Shahmaran is not alone in their mission, but is collaborating with other evil spirits trapped in the place, spirits who possess supernatural powers and use them to enhance their terror.

So they decide to search for what Shah Maran is guarding in all the rooms of the house until they find a dark and historical room. They find an old book that tells the story of the house and the history of cursed souls. They discover that the house was the shelter of a dark family that practiced black magic and human sacrifices for the sake of dark forces.

As they read the book, they feel an invisible presence surrounding them and evil spirits begin to manipulate their minds. They see incomprehensible visions, and hear sounds of strange things creeping into their minds. Dread and panic are multiplied, and they become vulnerable to horrific events that manifest themselves in apparent, inexplicable attacks.

One night, they sit in a dark room trying to understand the dark mysteries associated with the curse. Suddenly, evil laughter sounds from every direction, and they feel cold touches on their skin. They witness the appearance of the ghosts of young children dancing in the dark, and horrific images that reflect the brutality of events that occurred in the past.

The team is on the verge of collapse, and they discover that the curse has been influenced by dark forces deep within their souls. They must now defy these dark forces, show their courage in the face of the twisted spirits that seek to drag them into eternal darkness, and use all the symbols they find in that book to eliminate Shah Maran.

Shah Maran screams in pain and runs away from the house, disappearing among the trees of the forest, uttering heart-chilling screams.

The team stands in amazement at the horror of the sight and sees ghostly shadows leaving the place

We are thankful to them for relieving them of their captivity from the hands of Shah Maran.

With the end of the night, they finally see the light along the dawn horizon, but will they be able to escape the cursed house without enduring the tragic consequences of the situation they have put themselves in?

They admitted in front of everyone that “Shah Maran” is real
