This is a story that goes back to 1898 when Indian workers shipped by the British to build the East
African Railway from Mombasa in Kenya to the interior of Uganda. They were confronted with the
demons of the night; people were being dragged out from their tents and their half-eaten bodies were
found in the morning.
At first, the Indians feared some of the locals were turning into rakhshas after midnight.
By and by, it transpired that the terror in Kenya's Tsavo region was being spread by two man-eating
lions who were nicknamed as the 'Ghost' and the 'Darkness' or 'the man-eaters of Tsavo'.
The reign of terror did not end until the lions were shot in December 1898 by a British hunter and
railway engineer, Lt Col John Patterson, who, as was the custom of the time, posed proudly with his
huge kills. The two lions were maneless, having apparently adapted to extreme heat.
In 1924, the lions were sold as trophy rugs to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago where
they were stuffed and have been on display ever since.
The tale of the man-eaters of Tsavo has been turned into three films, most notably in 1996 when
Hollywood made, 'The Ghost and the Darkness', starring Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer as the
heroes and the late Om Puri, being Indian in a negative role.
