Haunted Places

By Mani VannanPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Do you happen to be drawn to the paranormal in any way? While most people make every effort to avoid coming into contact with the supernatural, a sizable portion of us intentionally seek out the exhilaration of being surrounded by the enigmatic unknown. The judgements we reach are completely based on our personal experiences, despite the fact that the existence of ghosts and spirits has been disputed for years.

There are many haunted locations in India, and each one has a terrifying past or legend attached to it. These range from strange locations like courtrooms and classrooms to empty villages, closed mines, abandoned forts, and eerie hotels. Here are some suggestions if you wish to test the limits and look for otherworldly phenomena:

Top 5 Haunted Places In India

1.Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan

2.Kuldhara Village, Rajasthan

3.Dow Hill, Kurseong, West Bengal

4.Dumas Beach, Gujarat

5.Jatinga, Assam

1. Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan

The abandoned town of Bhangarh, which is situated in the Alwar region, is one of the spookiest places imaginable and is widely regarded as one of India's most haunted locations. Even the Archaeological Survey of India has made it illegal for anyone to visit the Bhangarh Fort after dark because of how hazardous it is thought to be.

According to mythology, Ratnavati, the lovely princess of Bhangarh, and a tantric by the name of Singhia fell in love in the sixteenth century. Knowing it was a lost cause, he made the decision to utilise his powers to entice her. But the princess discovered his schemes and gave him the death penalty. He cursed the palace to destruction and the village to have no roof and eternal misery just before he passed away, furious at the course of events.

3.Dow Hill, Kurseong, West Bengal

In Kurseong, Darjeeling, the Victoria Boy's High School and Dowhill Girl's Boarding School are thought to be the homes of numerous ghosts, whose footsteps may be heard resonating through the hallways. Many locals and tourists have reported being followed by a headless youngster who then vanishes into the woods. Several dead bodies have been discovered in the forests surrounding the schools.

4.Dumas Beach, Gujarat

The dark sands of Gujarat's Dumas Beach along the Arabian Sea coast have long been linked to a number of mysteries. Many people think that because the beach was once a Hindu cemetery, wandering nighttime visitors are being summoned back to the coast by restless souls. According to some tales, people who ignore the cries of the dead vanish forever into the waves. Definitely not for the timid, this beach.

5.Jatinga, Assam

One of the most perplexing phenomenon in the world occurs in this small village of 2500 people: recurrent mass bird suicides. Local and migratory birds have historically dropped to the ground in huge numbers on moonless nights in September and October, but only in a particular region.
