There is black, there is white, and then there is grey. Certain aspects in this world cannot fall into grey areas and one of them are – haunted places.
You might know some people, colleagues, friends, family members, that jump with fear and get scared while watching horror movies even in the broad daylight, and then there are some adventure-seeking souls who love places like Bhangarh, just to feel the thrill.
These people knowingly look under their beds to spot the monsters, have read every possible horror story and watched every spooky Halloween movie.
There have been debates on the existence of ghosts.
Some believe they are just folklore while others believe in supernatural forces.
And if you are one of them, we have curated this list of some of the most haunted places in India, along with their spooky and spine-chilling backstories for all the daring souls out there.
1. BHANGARH FORT, RAJASTHAN
You’ve probably heard of the myth of Bhangarh, which is regarded as one of India’s top 20 truly haunted locations. Everything in Bhangarh has an unsettling quality.
It is not recommended for visitors to hang about the fort’s ruins after dusk, according to the Archaeological Survey of India. This shows how spooky the Bhangarh Fort truly is.
The well-known story tells of Tantrik Singhia, a magician who fell in love with Ratnavali and used magic to win her over. But when the princess learned of his schemes, she had the magician put to death. The magician then cursed the people living in the village to never have a roof over their heads and the occupants of the fort to die.
The narrative is undoubtedly captivating, but the accounts of individuals are even more so.
2. DUMAS BEACH, GUJARAT
Sipping your favourite beverage while lounging in a hammock. Does that sound right? calming?
Getting a healthy amount of vitamin sea is all that you want to accomplish. However, that might not be feasible at this Gujarati beach. We’re going to discover why Dumas Beach, which is situated alongside the Arabian Sea, is among Gujarat’s most haunted locations. There are many who claim that it was formerly a Hindu burial place and that the spirits never left the area.
In addition, have you ever seen black sand on a beach? It’s really peculiar! According to legend, the amount of ash produced by burning the deceased is what causes the black sand to finally mingle with the white sand.
Previously a calm shoreline, Gujarat’s Dumas Beach today exudes an unsettling atmosphere. Although the surroundings are lovely, you can sense the gloom. A lot of missing cases from this area have been reported by both locals and visitors.
Nobody was really able to provide an explanation for all these accidents, and once a man was discovered dead on the beach with his tongue out. There are strange sounds coming from the beach, like sobbing and laughing, even though no one is there.
Will you be able to unwind on the beach the same way now?
3. KARKARDOOMA DELHI COURT, DELHI
The Delhi Court in Kakardooma is one of the most haunted places in India. Many solicitors have reported seeing ghostly activity nearby.
The fact that security cameras within the court have recorded door closing and opening, files being taken out of drawers, lights blinking for no apparent reason, the appearance of a hazy figure through the walls, and chair dislocation adds to the overall unsettling nature of the situation.
YouTube has video footage taken inside the court that isn’t going to let you sleep at night!
4. SAVOY HOTEL, MUSSOORIE, UTTARAKHAND
The Savoy Hotel in Mussoorie is the place to be if you’re hoping to stay at one of the most haunted hotels in India. Despite its beauty, this hotel is said to be haunted by the spirit of Lady Garnet Orme. It is claimed that strychnine, which was put to her medication container, was used in her murder.
The savoy hotel in Mussoorie, where Lady Garnet Orme was killed by putting strychnine in her medication bottle, is said to be haunted by her spirit.
The physician who was attending to her was discovered deceased in a similar manner years later. The mystery affair at styles, an Agatha Christie novel, was inspired on the case, which generated a lot of media attention and was included in other books. for this reason, even now, it is one of the most hanted places in India.
So, is it going to be the next hotel you’re going to stay at?
5. SHANIWAR WADA FORT, PUNE
“Peshwas” controlled Maharashtra throughout the period covered by the narrative. The Maratha Empire was ruled by Balaji Rao, often known as Nana Saheb, when his father, Peshwa Baji Rao, passed away.
Madhorao, Vishwarao, and Narayanrao are the three children he was fortunate enough to have. Madharao became the next king after Balaji perished in the third Battle of Panipat. Madhorao too passed away in his grief when Vishwarao died soon after. (Aw,)
At a very young age, Narayanrao, the youngest, became the king. However, because he was incompetent at managing an empire, his uncle, Ragunathrao, assumed leadership on his place.
Anandibai, the wife of Ragunathrao, desired that Narayanrao be removed from the ruling of the empire. In the letter that Raghunathrao had initially sent, she had modified the word “capturing” to “killing.”
Narayana Rao heard a gang of killers entering his bedroom. “Uncle, save me,” he cried out, screaming at the top of his lungs, pleading with his uncle for assistance. However, that evening the gardi clan assassinated Narayanrao because of Anandibai’s jealousy.
Visitors to the date can hear his screams, especially on full moon evenings.
How vicious can someone get?
6. SANJAY GANDHI NATIONAL PARK
Sanjay Gandhi One of the most haunted places in India is the national park. There is something eerie about the surrounds of this park, according to tourists.
Some of them have even gone so far as to say they saw the ghost of a white-clad woman approaching strangers and pleading for a lift.
However, if you question the guards, they firmly believe that there is a ghost in the park. But it’s important to note that this park offers more than simply a beautiful stroll!
Are you brave enough to offer her a ride?
7. LAMBI DEHAR MINES, MUSSOORIE
Oh, mussoorie, how beautiful! If you haven’t been here, you’re really missing out on a lot. In addition to its abundant natural beauty, Mussoorie is home to a few lesser-known haunted locations. from Lambi Dehar Mines to Mullingar Mansion, via Savoy Hotel and Pari Tibba.
There was a limestone mine in 1990 that employed about 50,000 people. The employees had lung troubles and began coughing up blood as a result of safety and security concerns. They quickly met an unnecessary end. Since then, the mine has closed.
Many reports of paranormal activity and fatalities have been made after that occurred. There was once a helicopter crash.
Several generations of Bollywood directors have used Mukesh Mills in Mumbai as a famous filming site, from Amitabh-starrer jumma chumma in ‘hum’ to Kartik Aryan’s poster lagwa do in ‘luka chuppi’.
Mukesh Mills, which was founded by the East India Company in the 1870s, was shut down as a result of excessive financial losses.
Later, an unidentified fire that started there totally destroyed the structure. It has been closed ever since it was never fixed. It is not the movie crew’s preference to work here after dusk. Some people have reported losing their belongings and hearing odd noises. People have reported seeing footsteps, shadows, and a feeling of being watched all the time.
An actress in a movie once experienced possession and had a whole voice change. She gave the team a dire warning to leave as quickly as possible.
In a another incident at the Mukesh Mills, a 10-year-old child also became possessed while filming. In a matter of seconds, he went from abruptly rolling on the ground with his hands behind his back to his regular state. Even the building’s watchman has reported hearing music coming from within and seeing someone smoke.
I think it’s better to be possessed than to be obsessed.
9. HOUSE NUMBER W-3, GK , DELHI

The corpses ultimately broke down, and the neighbours called the police. Police and the investigative team attempted to get in touch with family and published information in the press for days, but they were unable to get any information.
