Haunted stories are exciting to hear and watch, but what if they are real?

In India, there are places where ghosts are believed to have a presence. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has kept some mysterious places off-limits for safety and preservation.

Let's look at eight mysterious places and their chilling tales:

Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan: Known for its eerie atmosphere and ghostly legends, Bhangarh Fort restricts entry after sunset due to reported paranormal activities and incidents of people going missing.

Shaniwarwada Fort, Maharashtra: Rumoured to be haunted by the ghost of a murdered prince, Shaniwarwada Fort advises against night-time exploration due to safety concerns and reported supernatural occurrences.

Kuldhara Village, Rajasthan: The abandoned Kuldhara Village near Jaisalmer restricts access due to its historical significance and to prevent vandalism, despite legends of curses and paranormal activity.

Dow Hill, West Bengal: Dow Hill in Kurseong restricts night-time visits or exploration of its haunted forest and Victoria Boys' High School due to safety concerns and reported paranormal activity.

Brij Raj Bhavan Palace, Rajasthan: Former royal residence Brij Raj Bhavan Palace is rumoured to be haunted by Major Burton's ghost, potentially leading to restrictions on access to certain areas to maintain safety and preserve the palace's integrity.

The Rectory, West Bengal: The haunted house, The Rectory in Chandannagar, West Bengal, doesn't have any ASI restrictions, but it is known for mysterious deaths and paranormal occurrences.

These haunted places continue to attract curiosity and fascination, drawing visitors who seek to explore their eerie stories and supernatural phenomena despite any restrictions or guidelines in place.
