Five Of Delhi's Spookiest Places

And the story behind the legend...

If you’ve grown up in Delhi, chances are you would know some, or most of these places. 

Mutiny Memorial, Kashmeri Gate: The Mutiny memorial, also known as Ajitgarh, was built in the memory of the martyrs of the rebellion of 1857. Some claim to have spotted bodies of British soldiers with their heads separated from their bodies here. The place has an eerie feel, and many have reported hair-raising experiences at the memorial.

W-3, Greater Kailash
After the brutal murder of the aged couple who owned this property, the residents of the neighbourhood began complaining of screaming and wailing noises. Even though the police dismissed it as ‘a self-created phobia.’

Delhi Cantonment
The most popular story that many in Delhi have heard of, and maybe are even a little afraid of, is that of a lady clad in a white sari asking for a lift from passing cars in the Delhi Cantt area late at night. Apparently, if you don’t stop your vehicle, she starts following the car and sometimes even sticks to the boot of the car or jumps over it, leading to accidents.

Agrasen Ki Baoli
This 14th century baoli constructed by Maharja Agrasen is a beautiful spot in the middle of our chaotic city but is said to be spooky after dark. Now completely dry, it was once said to have been filled with black water that hypnotised people into committing suicide.

Bhuli Bhatyari Ka Mahal, Near Jhandewalan Metro Station
Built in the 14th century as a hunting lodge by Feroz Shah Tughlaq, Bhuli Bhatyari Ka Mahal is, today, one of the spookiest spots in the city. While some say they have heard whispers of a caretaker who died in the premises of this palace, some claim spotting a queen, who is said to have been neglected by her king, and died waiting for him at the palace. 

Caution: Do not venture into these places without adult supervision. 



Thoughts? What are some of the urban legends where you grew up?

Paranormal happenings are so interesting! Even though I think ghosts don''t exist, hearing stories people claim are real makes me question my belief.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner.
