Having suffered several injuries including a fractured wrist and a concussion, he started screaming for help relentlessly but quickly realized that he would need to conserve his energy if he was to have any hope of rescue.

Instead, he tried shouting for help once an hour.Unfortunately, his cries went unanswered - not because nobody could hear them, but because those who did had become convinced that what they were hearing was some sort of ghost.

This meant that the local people had began deliberately avoiding going anywhere near the well.

Fortunately, though, in the end, someone finally did contact the police to report his calls and rescuers arrived on the scene.

By the time he was rescued, he had gone three days without eating or drinking.
