What does BHOOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Indian English
In Indian folklore, a ghost or malevolent spirit, especially of a person who died a violent or unnatural death.
A bhoot in Indian folklore is the restless spirit of someone whose death was sudden, violent, or otherwise unnatural, believed to linger near the place of death or haunt the living until it finds peace. Stories describe a bhoot appearing at night, sometimes with feet turned backward or a shadow that falls wrong, details meant to mark it as inhuman despite a human shape. Village tales across India often explain strange sounds, sightings, or misfortune near old trees or abandoned houses as the work of a bhoot. The word is sometimes spelled bhut in English texts, both spellings referring to the same figure from South Asian ghost lore.
