Netflix came out with a three-part series called House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths back in 2021, and it has not left people’s minds since. The chilling web-series, consisting of three episodes is so disturbing that it has left several viewers from around the world traumatized and made them regret watching the true horror for more than 2.5 hours.

The Burari Case: A Mystery That Confused the Police

House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths tells the story of an entire family found dead in their home in Delhi in 2018 of what appeared to be a sort of a ritual gone wrong.

Ten of them were found hanging from the ceiling with their mouths taped and eyes covered, while the eleventh member, who also happened to be the oldest, an 80-year-old woman, was found asphyxiated. All of them lived under the same roof and the youngest victim was only 15-years-old.

What Actually Happened With the Burari Family

Initially, police treated the incident as a case of murder as there were no clear signs of forced entry or robbery. The relatives were questioned but nothing useful came out of it. Then the police found a set of handwritten registers and what was written inside those pages slowly changed the direction of the entire case. Investigators began to see a pattern in the notes, pointing toward a deep psychological condition that had quietly grown within the family.

The final part looks into mental health, belief systems and the invisible pressures that can grow inside a household. The web series never claims to offer one clear answer but lays out what investigators, psychologists and journalists found along the way.
