Question

what made the ghost belive Vijay Singh was dead​

Answer 1

Answer:

Vijay Singh arranged the bolster, pillows and bedsheets as if to look like a sleeping person so when the ghost hit the bolsters with the bat, Vijay Singh was unhurt. There was no noise after the ghost hit the supposed sleeping Vijay Singh, not even a groan. This made ghost believe that Vijay Singh was dead.
