All of us have different beliefs. Some of us believe in ghosts and some don’t. Whatever your choice, there are some places that undeniably give out a spooky vibe. What makes them all the scarier is the history of it. Today, we explore 7 such places in India that are sure to give you the shivers. With spine-chilling accounts and even scarier stories from the locals, these places are every ghost hunters dream.
1. Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan
There is no denying that this fort is one of the most haunted places in India. Even the Archaeological Society of India has warnings all over, requesting visitors to vacate the premises after sunset. It’s actually such a scary place that people from all over the world come to see if they too can experience a supernatural occurrence. The story goes that there was a tantrik called Singhia who fell in love with Princess Ratnavati and decided to try and use magic to win her over. When she learnt of his plans, she ordered him to be killed. Before his death, he cursed all the residents of the fort to die and all the villagers to remain roofless. Till date, many villages are still roofless because every time someone builds a roof, it mysteriously collapses.
2. Kuldhara, Rajasthan
This little village located near Jaisalmer is known as the deserted ghost village. It was abandoned back in the 19th century. The village, which was established in 1291 was known for their business knowledge and agricultural expertise. In 1825, all the people of Kuldhara and surrounding villages vanished without a trace. While the story of their disappearance seems to be related to the threat of huge taxes, it’s the curse the villagers set upon the place that is the talking point. When they were forced to leave, they cursed the village so that it could never be inhabited by anyone.
