I have just heard this story from people I really trust and they claim to have wittnessed it. My cousin is a forest officer and was posted on M.P. Maharashtra Border, their was a small village where my brother had his Villa, this village was mostly inhabited by Tribals... these tribals also did a lot of black magic etc... in the same village (very close to my brother's house) lived one of my his orderly (peon attached to officers) he had a young daughter and he was very worried about her marriage, since he had married for the second time and the step mother was very cunning and would trouble the daughter. This man's wife hated the young girl and wanted to get rid of her .... so one day she called a Sadhu baba at her place and she told her husband that this "Baba" is blessed and with his power he can get a groom for thier daughter...
So finally the baba started reciting some mantras and did some haven in the house... he then gave a bowl filled with mud and sandalwood powder to the girl and told her to put that on her head at night before sleeping....But this girl was very upset with the whole pooja thing and moreover she did not like the way this sadhu and her mother were nehaving so she threw that bowl full of mud & sandal wood in the corner of the varandah where she was sleeping... she did not realise there were some wood peice kept in that corner... at mid night she heard some strange sounds ... Thak Thak Thak....
she really got scared... and woke up she saw that log of wood where she had thrown the mud was standing and moving on its own towards the main door as if it is walking... she screamed and her father, mother and brothers also came out... they were also shaking with fear... they made a big hullaa and my brother also went there to see the commotion...he also saw that wood walking... the main door got unlocked by itself.. some elders of the village said dont stop the wood lets follow it and see where it goes... U wont believe it walked for almost 1 Km and went inside a Hut on the outskirts of the Village... the sadhu whowas inside the hut also came out.. and when he saw that the there are some many people gatherd out side his hut... he tried to run... but was caught... and then the whole truth cam into light... he had given the girl some magic potoin .. if she had out that on her head... she would have gone to the Sadhu hynotised.. but she had instead... thrown it on the wood.. which saved her...
