Located at the border of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, Bhangarh Fort is a 17th century fort, infamous all over India for being the “Most haunted place in India“. Because of the numerous ghostly experiences and happenings in the fort premises, villages have sprung up far away from the fort, due to the fear of what lies within. Even the Archaeological Survey of India or the ASI has forbidden the locals and tourists from entering the fort at night. This completely ruined, haunted fort of Bhangarh does have a very eerie, negative aura to it. Several legends have attested to the paranormal happenings inside the fort.
There are always two sides of the story of the Bhangarh Fort, haunted for generations. Let me relate the story first. The two sides can wait for some time.
Bhangarh’s principal palace
A group of tourists once bribed the keeper of a fort to let them inside the complex of the supposedly haunted Bhangarh fort (a notoriously infamous one at that) once night fell. The keeper let them in, albeit with a stern warning that it wasn’t advisable to go inside the fort since it was believed to be haunted by spirits during the night. Unmindful of the warning, the group trotted inside joking and laughing. It was all good up to the point they noticed a boy sitting alone inside one of the rooms. The only anomaly was that the room had no door, and a window which was tightly grilled to make sure that no one could enter in or venture out. What happened next is an occurrence I need not describe. I believe my readers are clever enough to guess the inevitable.
