If you are an adventure junkie, here are the ten most haunted
places in India. If you have the courage, go ahead and explore
the unknown! There are forts, towns, Beaches, and even a film
city among them!
Bhangarh Fort
Considered one of the most ghostly places in Asia, Bhangarh is a
town in Alwar in Rajasthan and is said to be a spooky place.
Bhangarh Fort, known as Haunted, is also a tourist destination but
no one is allowed to enter the fort at night. There are also
warnings not to hike through the area after sunset. The story
tells that a magician wanted to marry a princess of the region,
but since this was not possible, he decided to put a spell on her,
but when the princess found out about it, she had the magician
killed. But the wizard cast a spell on the palace before he died,
and the whole place has been doomed since then.
Jatinga, Assam
This is a strange story that has nothing to do with humans but is
still feared. Jatinga is a charming town in Assam, but it has
become a curious case after dead migratory birds have been
found year after year. It used to be thought that there must be
natural causes, but since it happens every year, studies have been
conducted to find out the reason, but no one has been able to find
the exact cause yet. The site is known today as a place of bird suicides. It is said that the birds swoop themselves to their deaths on moonless nights, especially during September and October. Since this phenomenon is believed to have been occurring for centuries, Jatinga is a place where not even the brave dare to go on moonless nights.
Dow hill, West Bengal
There is a Dow Hill Boarding School in the area which is said to
be haunted. People believe that they have seen ghosts in the
area. There is a forest around the school which contributes to the
mystical stories. It is said that years ago there were many
murders in the forest and that is why spirits have been wandering around Dow Hill.
Ramoji film city, Hyderabad
It's one of the biggest film cities in the world and definitely the
most popular place to shoot movies. There are several hotels in
film city where strange occurrences have been reported. There
were stories like lights falling on light's man, strange stains on the
mirror, etc. It seems that the spirit hates women more than men since some girls have said that their clothes were ripped off when nobody
was there, or that someone banged on the bathroom door when
nobody was in the room, etc. It is said that the authorities took
many measures to stop these kinds of incidents, but it still
happens. It is believed that ghosts haunt the location because the
site was once the war grounds of the Nizam and before that a burial ground for robbers.
Dumas beach, surat
This black-sand beach in Gujarat was once an important Hindu
cremation site, and it's this history that gives it an air of mystery.
The cheerful atmosphere in the morning fades with the sunset,
and at night locals avoid Dumas Beach as much as possible.From blood curdling shrieks to whispers, people reportedly have
heard haunting sounds coming from Dumas, which are said to be
the spirits of tormented souls. Some attribute the black sand to
the ashes of cremated corpses, and on top of that, nearby dogs
bark all night long, sensing a paranormal presence. Everything
about Dumas Beach makes it the last place you want to be at
night.
Shaniwarwada fort, Pune
Shaniwarwada is a historical place in Pune city of Maharashtra.
The fort is popular for its complex structure and carvings. But
this fortress is haunted by a ghost who cries out for help.
According to legend, Narayan Rao Peshwa, the young prince, was
tragically stabbed to death by a masked person claiming to be a
courtier. The cries of the Peshwa asking for help, "Kaka Mala
Vachva" which means; Uncle, save me!; can be heard every full
moon night to this day.
Writer's building, Kolkata
The Writer's Building may be one of Kolkata's landmarks and one
of the most famous buildings in India, but that hasn't stopped it
from being one of the most haunted places in India. Locals believe
the ghost of a British man named Captain Simpson still haunts the
building from when he was murdered here decades ago. Many have claimed to hear footsteps and noises at night.
GP block, Meerut
GP Block is certainly a party spot for ghosts as many who have
passed through the area at night claimed to have seen four
ghosts sitting around a candle with drinks. There are also stories
of a young woman wandering around in a red saree. Because of
this, many avoid going to the place at night, but there are
adventure lovers who enjoy seeing it. Anyway, it is one of the
most haunted places in India and also one of the most visited due
to the curiosity that the place inspires.
Bhuli bhatiyari ka mahal, Delhi
Located in Karol Bagh, Bhuli Bhatiyari ka Mahal was actually
named after a person 'Bu-Ali Bhatti' who worked as the site's
caretaker. It was built as a hunting lodge by Firuz Shah Tughlaq
in the 14th century. The site was abandoned after some time and
is believed to have been that way for centuries. Today it is a
desolate place that not only looks spooky but is also one of the
most haunted places in Delhi as many have said they heard
strange noises from this place. Even during the day, the place
looks scary enough.
Karnataka (Nale Ba)
Nale Ba is a popular folk legend that features prominently in
areas across Karnataka, India. This dates back to the 1990s when
news spread that a witch would visit random houses in Karnataka
and knock on the door and she would then call men inside in the
voice of their relatives, especially their mothers. The innocent and
unsuspecting man would open the door and die within the next 24
hours. Someone remarked that writing Nale ba ("Come tomorrow" in
Kannada, the local language) on the front door of the house
caused the witch to walk away when she got to the door and saw
the inscription. It has become a tradition in many families to
write this down to ward off the evil spirit. This eventually led to
April 1st being known as Nale Ba Day among the locals. It also
inspired the Bollywood movie 'Stree'.
