In a village in Jharkhand state of India, a strange centuryold custom is prevalent in the tribal hamlet of Dardaha, which prevents the residents from encouraging guests to stay overnight at the village, for they believe something bad may befall them.

Non-tribals are free to move around the village, but only till dusk.
