Indian Ghost Town of Bhangarh, Ajabgarh, Rajasthan
No haunted blog is complete without mentioning the legendary ghost town of Bhangarh in Rajasthan. Often considered the most haunted and abandoned place in India, Bhangarh is infamous for its spine-chilling aura. Entry is strictly prohibited after sunset, and a red alert is issued by the authorities. Surrounded by dense forests, the place has a truly haunting vibe.

Delhi Cantonment, Delhi

Those who try to avoid her sometimes find her chasing their cars at an unnatural speed. Take a late-night drive here if you're brave enough—but don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Dumas Beach, Gujarat
The very name "Dumas Beach" sends shivers down the spine. This mysterious beach near Surat is known for its eerie silence, broken only by strange whispers that blend with the sound of waves. The area is sparsely populated, amplifying its spooky atmosphere. Many tragic incidents and unexplained deaths have been reported here over the years, so proceed with caution.
The Vrindavan Society, Thane
The Vrindavan Society in Thane may seem like a typical residential area, but locals have long spoken of paranormal activity within the compound. The contrast between its peaceful appearance and the chilling stories makes this location even more unsettling. Residents have reported hearing whispers, feeling strange presences, and witnessing unexplained occurrences.
Dow Hills near Kurseong, Darjeeling
If haunted travel is your idea of adventure, Dow Hills in Kurseong should be on your list. The nearby girls’ boarding school is believed to be the epicenter of supernatural events. Locals have seen a headless figure walking through the corridors and nearby forests. History records several murders in the forest, adding to the area’s grisly past.
Jatinga, Assam
Any serious guide on haunted places in India must include Jatinga in Assam. Known worldwide for the mysterious mass suicide of birds, Jatinga sees this phenomenon on no-moon nights between 6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., specifically in September and October. Hundreds of birds crash to the ground on a short 600-foot stretch, with no scientific explanation proving satisfactory. The scene is eerie and heartbreaking.
National Library, Kolkata
If you’re hoping to come face-to-face with a spirit, the National Library in Kolkata might fulfill that wish. Visitors staying late have reportedly heard footsteps echoing through the halls, believed to belong to the ghost of the Governor’s late wife. There’s even a case of a boy mysteriously dying inside the library, with no known cause.
Tunnel 33, Shimla
Tunnel 33 in Shimla is another haunted hotspot, steeped in history and ghost stories. Captain Barog, the British engineer who constructed it, is said to still haunt the tunnel after his tragic suicide. Locals claim to have seen his spirit, often described as calm rather than malevolent—but unsettling all the same. It’s one of the most famous ghost stories from colonial India.
The Mansion, Residency Road, Pune
This deserted mansion on Residency Road in Pune is believed to be haunted by the ghost of a cruel old lady who died long ago. Passersby have reported hearing shrill cries and other unexplained noises from inside the building. The eerie structure stands abandoned, avoided even by locals who cross the road to steer clear of it.
Vas Villa, St. Mark’s Road, Bangalore
If you're brave enough to explore Bangalore's haunted corners, Vas Villa is a must-visit. Once home to the Vyas sisters, Doice and Vera, the house became infamous after Doice was brutally murdered in her bedroom in 2001. Paranormal investigators have reported strong negative energies in the villa, and the property remains abandoned and feared to this day.
Three Kings Church, Goa
Despite being a church, this hilltop site in Goa is anything but peaceful. The Three Kings Church is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of three rulers who once fought for its control. The rivalry ended in murder and suicide, and their spirits are believed to still linger around the church. Visitors often feel a strong, uneasy presence and report strange shadows.
South Park Cemetery, Kolkata
We conclude this chilling blog with South Park Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in Kolkata. Those who dare visit after sunset often report dizziness, discomfort, and the sensation of being watched. Many claim to have seen shadowy figures moving through the graves. It’s a place where even the brave hesitate to tread alone.

If you’ve got the guts and an appetite for the paranormal, these places are waiting for your footsteps... or perhaps to follow them. Just a word of caution—don’t go alone.
