                    Great satire poet of world literature Lalit Keshwan wrote five stories in Garhwali and surprisingly all are related to ghost or dissatisfied souls. Mwarin Santa (Hilans, November, 1985) by Keshwan is about a female dissatisfied soul. Sprit of Santa enters into body of Veera and her body becomes tense. Mantrik comes and Santa’s sprit asks a few things. Veera is given all the materials those were asked by Santa’s sprit.  However, there was debt of Santa on a few people of village. Santa (in Veera’s body) goes to every person asks to return her debt. They returned the debt. Veera walks fast towards madghat (cremation area) and it was surprise for veera’s father.

  The biggest flaw of the story is that there is no fear, suspense, curiosity in the story. Howver, the simple way of tale telling technique by Keshwan covers all flaws required for modern ghost stories.
