SUMMARY
In the mist-covered hills of Wayanad lies a tree bound in rusted iron chains — silent, eerie, and soaked in legend. Locals say it holds the spirit of Karinthandan, a brave tribal guide who discovered a secret route through the Western Ghats during British rule. But instead of honor, he was betrayed — and his life was taken to keep that path a secret.
Over the years, strange occurrences and unexplained whispers led villagers to believe his spirit never left. A priest was summoned, and the tale of The Chain Tree was born.
This episode dives into one of India’s most unsettling folklores — based on true events and oral history, blending fact with fear to tell the story of a man erased from memory, but never from the land.
