Residents of Appajipeta village in the Pimdi mandal of Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, are currently living in a state of constant terror. For nearly a week, a bizarre and unexplained phenomenon has disrupted the peace of this rural community: stones are mysteriously falling on houses during the night. Despite police intervention and local vigils, the source of these “flying stones” remains unknown, leaving the villagers gripped by fear. At Business Promotion24, we bring you the latest details on this developing story that has caught the attention of the entire region.
The Midnight Rain of Stones
According to local accounts, the trouble began about a week ago. Every day, as soon as night falls, stones begin to pelt the rooftops of various houses in the village. The frequency of these incidents reportedly peaks around 10:00 PM, with stones being thrown at intervals of just a few minutes. What started as a minor nuisance has quickly escalated into a full-blown crisis for the people of Appajipeta.
The villagers initially suspected that miscreants or local troublemakers were responsible for the act. However, the sheer persistence and the “ghostly” nature of the attacks have made many question whether there is more to the story. The sense of insecurity is so high that residents now lock themselves indoors immediately after sunset, spending sleepless nights waiting for the next impact.
Police Patrols and Failed Vigils
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the concerned villagers approached the local authorities. In response, four police constables were deployed to patrol the village and maintain order. However, even the presence of law enforcement has failed to deter the mysterious stone-throwing. Villagers reported that stones continued to land on rooftops even while the police were actively patrolling the streets.
In a desperate attempt to catch the culprits, approximately 20 young men from Appajipeta joined forces with the police. They positioned themselves on a nearby hillock, maintaining a close watch over the village to identify anyone throwing stones. Incredibly, even with observers stationed on high ground and patrols on the ground, the stones continued to fall. No person has been identified, and no one has been caught in the act, adding a layer of mystery to the ongoing fear.
Impact on Life and Property
The physical toll of these incidents is becoming visible. Many houses in Appajipeta are constructed with asbestos roofs, which are particularly vulnerable to heavy impacts. Several residents have shown local media personnel the damage caused by the heavy stones, including cracked and broken roofing sheets. More alarmingly, some residents have already sustained minor injuries after being struck by the falling debris.
