Overlooking the pink city of Jaipur, the Nahargarh Fort stands strong on the edge of Aravalli Hills. The primary reason for the high walls around the fort were to disconnect the royals from the world. The fort was built by Sawai Raja Man Singh with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort. The king however, was so passionate about this particular fort that he built (for his queens) that even after his death, the Nahargarh Fort is haunted by his ghost. We've heard that the owner of the restoration organization who was keen on renovating the building to preserve it for the future was found dead mysteriously in his house.
Kuldhara is an village in Jaisalmer that has been abandoned since the 1800s for a curse that apparently cannot be lifted. A sinful minister forcefully wanted to marry a beautiful villager and threatened her family to take hold of her. The villagers left the place leaving an undying spell so that no one could ever live or breed on this land. When checked for by the Paranormal Society of New Delhi, it was revealed that most stories by people are true and detectors and ghost-boxes have recorded voices of dead villagers and there have also been scratches on cars and footprints of children in the mud (that too, of an abandoned village). Scares us, what about you?
