Plot

The second season is the prequel to the first season. It shows the Naik family's mysterious past, which led to Anna Naik's untimely death and the strange occurrences. It revolves around Anna's middle age, when he is an influential person in the village who uses power to take undue advantage of the village folk as well as kill people at times. This all leads to strange events happening in the house, including him witnessing ghosts of the people he murders.

Anna forcefully removes his elder brother Aaba's family from their house to control all the family property. He also becomes intimate with Kumudini "Shevanta" Patankar, who newly moves into the village with her husband Kamalakar Patankar. She gives birth to her and Anna's daughter Sushma. Anna also kills many villagers to usurp their properties. Soon, strange events starts to happen in the house, as a result of the ghosts of the people killed by Anna, and Anna witnesses the ghosts sometimes. Years later, after killing Kamalakar, Anna builds a house for Shevanta. But she gets more possessive with Anna. He then tricks her into committing suicide on the tree of the Naik house and the tree gets haunted. Finally, over the course of the following few years, Anna mends his ways and gets on the right path of good deeds. But his crime-filled past inflicts curses upon him and he faces untimely death by getting killed by the ghosts of people he murdered throughout his life.
