Solution
Usha did not believe that it was not just the wind because she had already heard about the story of the ghosts in the haunted hill from her grandfather. While returning to the village from the bazaar, she saw two small children in ghostly figures at the disused fireplace. And even she was stared by those ghostly figures staring behind her. In the opinion of Usha it was not just the wind, but the disembodied voice of those ghostly figures.
