The Fantastical Stories Podcast with Sammy ZaidiAuthor: Sammy Zaidi
In this podcast, I talk about extraordinary stories in an otherwise ordinary world. These aren't ghost stories but from my interactions with some of the most brilliant people I've met over the years such as professors, lawyers, writers, and doctors I'm exploring how the world, as I understand it, may not be as mundane as I originally perceived. Where I would normally dismiss fictitious anecdotes, these are stories that come from people I know for a fact are trust-worthy.

Hazraaat: The Movie on a Thumb
Episode 1
Monday, 15 June, 2020
Welcome to the Fantastical Stories Podcast with Sammy Zaidi. In this podcast, I talk about extraordinary stories in an otherwise ordinary world. These aren't ghost stories – but from my interactions with some of the most brilliant people I've met over the years such as professors, lawyers, writers, and doctors – I'm exploring how the world, as I understand it, may not be as mundane as I originally perceived. Where I would normally dismiss fictitious anecdotes, these are stories that come from people I know for a fact are trust-worthy. In this episode, I discuss "Hazraaat", a phenomenon that originates out of an old Islamic tradition going back to old India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Using ash, prayer, and the mind of a young child, you can see detailed moving images on your finger. I suppose now a smartphone can do just that, but this happened well before the advent of such technology. I wouldn't believe this at all except for the fact that my father, a surgeon with some of the best training in the world (so I know he's not a crazy yahoo), SWEARS, that this happened to him. Not only that, but he uses it to solve a crime...at 7 years old.
