India has a plethora of festivals, and the country has absorbed several Western cultural festivities over the years.
One such festival is Halloween. It has grown in popularity in India, despite its origins in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
For most people, the ideal Halloween party is an evening filled with dark vibes, creepy décor and costumes, spooky food, trick-or-treating, and party games.
For those who genuinely want to seek out fear and horror on this holiday, here are five haunted places in India that you can visit on Halloween.
We have all heard paranormal claims about the Bhangarh Fort. The Archaeological Survey of India advises travellers to stay away from the fort’s remains after sundown.
In addition to being a historical joy, Pune’s Shaniwarwada Fort is also one of India’s scariest locations. It is believed that Narayanrao, the sixth Peshwa, was murdered here by his uncle’s guards.
The Dumas Beach in Surat, formerly a place of cremation, is now said to be haunted. People have reported mysterious murmurs, especially at night, warning of dangers along this shore.
One of the biggest film hubs in our country, Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad is also reputed to be haunted. According to legend, the film city was established on the Nizami battlefields.
Colonel Barog’s ghost is rumoured to haunt Shimla’s Tunnel 33. The colonel is said to have shot himself in the tunnel after he was fired for his miscalculation while the tunnel was being constructed.
