Nellikkampoyil Night Riders

Nellikkampoyil Night Riders

Nellikampoil Night Riders is set in the quiet, rural village of Nellikampoil, a place surrounded by dense forests and steep hills where traditional beliefs and folklore still influence daily life. The villagers live simple, routine-bound lives, but beneath the calm surface lies a strong fear of the supernatural. Stories about spirits wandering the roads at night have existed in the village for generations, passed down by elders as warnings to the younger generation. The story follows a group of village youngsters led by Shyam, who returns home from Mangalore after spending time away. He reconnects with his close friends, and together they spend their days wandering through the village, meeting their girlfriends, and enjoying the carefree nature of rural life. They are modern in their thinking and often laugh at the old ghost stories told by the elders, considering them nothing more than superstition meant to control people’s behavior. Their disbelief is shaken when strange incidents begin to occur in the village. Several residents report seeing a mysterious figure on the roads late at night — a tall, shadowy being that appears to walk like a human but has horse-like feet. The creature is said to move unusually fast and disappear into the darkness before anyone can approach it. At first, the youngsters assume it is a prank or a misunderstanding, but fear begins to spread as sightings increase and rumors circulate from house to house.
