Has anyone else noticed that it seems like 7/8ths of the weird spirituality stories seem to come out of India? It reminds me of a Christian historian who, after examining the dark metaphysics of India's religious thought, asked "Why God allowed India to be the Devil's playground, we will never know" (rough quote).
A village council in eastern India has fined two brothers for keeping a pet ghost.
Iswar and Haripada Murmu, of Akshaypur in West Bengal, were accused of owning a ghost after one of their wives died.
An exorcist summoned by villagers claimed the brothers' pet ghost was "responsible for a recent outbreak of disease in the locality."
