I was stung by the curiosity bug to find out if there is something called supernatural or black magic. For me, Mayong has always been the Hogwarts of Assam. I guess you are curious too, to know what is Mayong all about.
Mayong is a small village in the Morigaon district of Assam located on the banks of the mighty Brahmaputra. It is only a few minutes from the Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, which has the highest density of onehorned rhinos in the world. The origin of the word Mayong has no evidence to back it, but a few locals believe it has been derived from the Sanskrit word “Maya” meaning illusion. It had been a long time since our college group had a reunion. And whenever we met, we always lost our shit to an overdose of alcohol. So, this time Animesh, Puhor, Anuj, and Sagarika suggested that we should try something adventurous and explore the unknown.
On November 16, 2017, we started our journey from Guwahati to Mayong around 3 pm. Mayong is 40 km from Guwahati. We had no plans to halt at Pobitora because our goal was to reach Mayong before dusk creeps in. Nogen Khura and his wife, both of whom I had met while doing my project on WitchHunting, agreed to host us and take us to the prohibited corners of the village.
