Mahendra calls ghosts or spirits a figment of the imagination because Iswaran had told him they lived on a burial site, and Mahendra did not believe in ghosts. However, on a full-moon night, Mahendra is woken up by a low moaning sound outside his window. At first, he thinks it is a cat, but the sound becomes louder and deeper. Unable to resist, he looks out and sees a dark, cloudy figure clutching a bundle—a female ghost holding a foetus, as Iswaran had described. This frightens Mahendra so much that he breaks into a cold sweat and falls back on his pillow panting from fear.
