Some spirits don’t leave until they are heard. Set against the lush, brooding backdrop of Kannur, My Grandfather’s Planchette is a haunting and deeply emotional tale that straddles the thin veil between the spiritual and the scientific, the seen and the unseen. When four curious cousins unlock a forgotten room in their grandfather’s estate, they stumble upon a dusty old planchette board—unaware that their innocent adventure is about to awaken a spirit that has waited far too long to be heard. As whispers turn into voices and memories into messages, the children begin to unravel a story of love unspoken, grief unprocessed, and a grandmother whose silence held more weight than anyone ever imagined. The book moves beyond a typical ghost story to explore complex themes of emotional neglect, ancestral memory, spiritual rituals, and cultural lore—fusing Kerala’s mysticism with global practices of spirit communication. Written in a poetic, evocative style that blends narrative fiction with philosophical depth, the novel brings to life not just a chilling encounter with the supernatural, but also a tender reckoning with personal and collective memory. From candle-lit séances and ancestral dolls to visions in cracked mirrors and lullabies from the beyond, My Grandfather’s Planchette invites readers into a realm where spirits are not feared but understood. The book also includes immersive bonus chapters on the cultural and scientific dimensions of spiritual phenomena—ranging from Indian traditions like Bhoota Kola and Putali Tantra to modern interpretations of energy, ritual, and consciousness. It blurs the boundaries between belief and biology, drawing on neuropsychology, cultural anthropology, and spiritual science. Whether you read it as a coming-of-age story, a paranormal memoir, or a cultural exploration of grief and healing, this book will leave you with a lingering question: What if the dead never left... because we never truly listened?
