  1. Two "Ghosts" who fight with each other every night over their common grave are reposed from Malin.
    They are said to be the spirits of two men who were murdered at different places but were buried in the same grave.
    Since the burial people living near the graveyard declare they have seen the two ghosts fighting. My mother told me this story.
