How many of you believe that ghosts actually exist? Or maybe a supernatural spirit? The believers will say a straight yes, but the ones who do not believe will just ignore it. Well, nobody can force a person's beliefs but there are some places which might change some minds. After all, the best conclusions are drawn from one's own experience. While there are few trying their best to avoid spooky places, there are others who actively seek out the thrilled feeling of finding the supernatural and many other who come into contact without their will.

If you are a traveler seeking for some adrenaline rush and looking forward to explore the haunted places in India, here is a list you can cover. These places have some interesting untold stories that even the non-believers might find fascinating. People who have visited these places have claimed to come back with their own experiences and either have felt or witnessed something. In this post of mine, you can find the Top 10 Most Haunted Places in India.

It is regarded as the most haunted place in India. This place has been declared unsafe to visit post sunset (After 5 PM) by Archaeological Survey of India. It is completely destructed and these ruins are a famous spot for tourists in the morning, but unfolds a horror mystery in the dark.

What is the story behind it? Well, there are two. According to the First story, Baba Balanath lived near this fort and he had a condition that nobody's home should rise higher than his. And cursed that, if it did, it would be destroyed. The King at the time ignored this curse, and that is what led to the current ruined state of Bhangarh Fort.

The Second story has it that a wizard was infactuated to the Princess of this fort. In order to win her over, he cast a spell and tried to poison her with a potion. Coming to know about his evil plans, the Princess pushed a boulder at him eventually killing the wizard. He cursed that Bhangarh would be destroyed before dying, and hence it ended to be in ruins.

We don't know which story is true but, the houses in Bhangarh does not have roofs. The people claim that the roof collapses the minute it is built. They also have reported to have heard women screeching, footsteps and paranormal activities after dark. These reports were in fact proven to be true by the villagers and adventure seekers who dared to visit the place in the nights.
