Haunted places in India

Ghosts or Spirits are beyond the knowledge of human minds. Some believe in their existence some don't but in real, no one knows what they really are , where do they come from and what do they want. Many researches and studies are done in this field but no one reached to any concrete conclusion. There is no explanation as to why we hear whispers, why we feel, that some one is following, why we sense one's touch when no one is around, WHY ?? I believe there is no answer for that. Unexplained phenomenon,paranormal activities and mysterious death stories always caught attention but no one dared to explain the reason why it happened. so now lets have a look at some of these notorious places, where you can feel everything you never want to experience for your lifetime.

There are so many haunted places in India but the popular ones are Bhangarh and Ajabgarh forts. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has put up a signboard at Bhangarh's fort stating: "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited."No one is allowed to go in. Bhangarh is in Alwar District comes under Rajasthan state. This place is declared haunted by state goverment after mysterious deaths of several innocents who spent night in that fort.

Some people say that war between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh resulted in place being haunted coz no one survived in that war.Don't know whether it is true or not but yeah i've got one interesting story to tell about Bhangarh.  'There was a princess named Ratnavati in Bhangarh palace.. she was very beautiful, stories of her beauty was famous in all over Rajasthan.when she turned 18, she started getting matrimonial proposals from different states. One day a "Tantrik"(one who is well versed in black magic)Singhia heard about Ratnavati and her beauty and he started liking her. He knows that he will never be allowed to see that princess in his life. He was very desperate for princess so he did some spell on scented oil, which would hypnotize the princess by her merely touching the oil and gave that oil to maid of princess Ratnavati. When maid was applying oil, princess sensed something wrong in that oil so she threw it away. Tantrik Singhia's spell backfired on him and he died coz of that. While dieing, he cursed the palace with the death of all who dwelt in it, without any rebirth in their destinies. Next year in battle between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh no one survived including princess Ratnavati.

Spirits of dead Rajwada (family of king) are still seen in that fort. Many tourists died in that fort, corpses of the some tourists are still missing....

Next most haunted place in India is a hotel in Mussoorie.The savoy hotel was built in 1902 when British were ruling India. After some time when some guest died mysteriously in that hotel it is declared haunted by local people of Mussoorie.The former owner of Savoy hotel, lady Orme died due to poisoning and many such cases are reported from Savoy hotel Mussoorie. It is still open for booking so if you are daring enough and want to reveal the truth behind Savoy, you can book a room and experience the adrenaline flowing.

Duma’s beach Gujraat has got many stories to tell, all you need to do is, to go there and decipher the strange whispers around. It is famous for its black sand. People got many stories to tell, some say it’s a Hindu cremation beach, Hindu devotees come here to cremate dead bodies, and some says after a horrible storm in Duma( long time ago) turned all people dead. Due to sudden death of villagers around Duma’s beach,  this beach got deserted and after some years it became cremation ground for Hindus. Lots of tourists went missing from Duma’s beach, many people complained that they heard strange whispers. A temple named “Dariya Ganesh” located adjacent to main beach. Some says if you go there Lord Ganesha will save you.

My friend who recently visited Duma told me that it’s a beautiful beach but at night it looks very spooky. She said you can feel the negative vibes roaming in atmosphere of Duma's. I love beaches but if someone asks me to go to the Duma's  i will definitely say NO.

     

If you find yourself  troubled by spirits you can resort to the old Sanskrit mantras (incantations) used by Aryans to repel evil spirits and defy death. These Mantra have been tried and tested several times by priests and exorcists.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकम् यजामहे सुगन्धिम् पुष्टिवर्धनम् ।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात ।। 

Om Tryambkam yajamahe sugandhim pustivardhanam

Urvarukmiv bandhanaan mrityoormokhsiya mamrataat

Simple English translation of this incantation is: Three-eyed one(lord Shiva), I meditate on you, who increase fragrance and nourishment. From powerful disease, bondage and death free us into immortality.

Lord Shiva's (the king of Ghosts) avatar Hanuman's (follower of Shri Ram in Ramayan) incantations are also used for exorcism purposes 

              भूत पिशाच निकट नहीं आवै |
              महावीर जब नाम सुनावै || 

              Bhoot pichach nikat nai aavai
              mahavir jab naam sunavai 

English translation for this is "Ghosts and spirits will never come near you when you remember Hanuman".
