Rani Pokhari and Kathmandu earthquake ghost narratives

Record summary

After the 2015 Nepal earthquake, local and international reporting recorded stories about sensing deceased relatives, hearing voices in damaged neighborhoods and interpreting ruins or memorial sites through spirit narratives. Rani Pokhari and other Kathmandu landmarks sometimes appear in this broader post-disaster folklore, though the accounts are not one standardized case. The lead can illuminate grief, trauma, memorialization and the boundary between bereavement experience and ghost report. Exact witnesses and wording require source-level verification, and many accounts may be journalistic paraphrase rather than direct testimony.
