X-Minds - Evil Shadows in the Twilight World of Kandy

The surroundings of the Bahirawakanda hill don’t stand out much from the adjacent districts: same tea plantations, same rice fields, same humble farmer huts. But local inhabitants believe in eighteen demons who cause eighteen human ailments. One of the demons is responsible for the running nose, another — for cholera, the third one — for vomiting, the fourth one makes people paralyzed. Local exorcists, kattadiya, dedicate their ceremonies to a demon called Bahirava.
