Plot
The film starts with Tarinikhuro or Tarinicharan Banerjee, one of Satyajit Ray's characters, telling some boys from his fanclub about ghosts. In the first and second stories the ghosts he talks about were Satyajit Ray's Anath Babur Bhoy and Brown Saheber Bari. The last one was Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s Bhoot Bhobishyot. (Initially four stories were supposed to be filmed, but the fourth one, Lucknow-er Duel was dropped later to avoid the length).
Anath Babur Bhoy
Anath Babur Bhoy ( Anath Babu's Terror ) revolves around the story of Anathbandhu Mitra, who is a ghost hunter. He, along with his friend, Sitesh Babu, narrate their experience regarding a dilapidated haunted house, Haldar Mansion, "Haldar Bari".
Brown Saheber Bari
Brown Saheber Bari ( Mr. Brown's Cottage ) is about "Simon", a mysterious entity whom the owner of the cottage, a British gentleman loved dearly.
Bhoot Bhobishyot
The story is based on a peculiar relationship between a writer and a friendly 19th century ghost. It is a light-hearted story with a memorable twist at the end of it all.
