Vishalraj was a brilliant young engineer working for a renowned construction company. He was known for his intelligence and hard work, which had helped him climb up the ladder of success quickly. He had a team of highly skilled workers who he considered his colleagues and friends.

One day, the company was assigned a project of building a bridge in a remote village located deep in the forest. The villagers were excited about the new bridge, as it would connect their village to the rest of the world. The project was considered a major milestone for the company and for Vishalraj as well.

As soon as they reached the village, they were greeted with warm hospitality by the villagers. However, they were also warned about the dangers lurking in the forest. The villagers believed that the forest was haunted by the spirits of the deceased and that they had the power to curse the living. Despite these warnings, Vishalraj and his colleagues were not intimidated and started their work with full enthusiasm.

The work was progressing smoothly until strange things started to happen. At night, they heard eerie noises coming from the forest and saw ghostly apparitions in the shadows. Some of the workers even claimed to have seen the spirits of the dead wandering around the construction site. Despite these disturbances, Vishalraj and his colleagues continued with their work, determined to complete the project on time.

One night, when Vishalraj was working late, he saw a figure emerging from the shadows. He initially thought it was one of his colleagues, but as the figure came closer, he realized that it was not a human. It was a ghostly apparition with glowing eyes and a pale complexion. Vishalraj was terrified and tried to run, but the ghostly figure was too fast for him and chased him through the construction site. He stumbled upon a pile of stones and fell, hitting his head.

When he woke up, he found himself in the hospital. The doctor informed him that he had been unconscious for three days and that the rest of his colleagues had gone missing. He was the only survivor of the group and the villagers believed that the spirits of the dead had taken his colleagues as retribution for disturbing their peace.

Vishalraj was filled with guilt and regret for not heeding the warnings of the villagers. He vowed to find his colleagues and bring them back, no matter what the cost. He returned to the construction site and entered the forest, where he encountered the spirits of the dead. They demanded that he leave and warned him that if he did not, he would never leave the forest alive.

Despite the warnings, Vishalraj was determined to find his colleagues. He journeyed deeper into the forest and encountered the ghost of a woman who had died in a tragic accident. She told him that his colleagues had been taken by the spirits of the dead, who were seeking revenge for the damage done to the forest.

Vishalraj realized that the only way to save his colleagues was to appease the spirits of the dead. He made a ritual offering to the spirits, asking for their forgiveness and promising to restore the forest to its former glory. The spirits were pleased with his offering and released his colleagues.

Vishalraj and his colleagues returned to the village, where they were greeted as heroes. They completed the construction of the bridge, but made sure to do it in a way that did not harm the forest or its inhabitants.

From that day on, the spirits of the dead were no longer seen as a threat, but as protectors of the forest. Vishalraj and his colleagues had learned a valuable lesson
