It is an attractive and adventurous place in Delhi. As you will go deeper you will only be able to listen to the echo of your footsteps.

A strong spooky presence has been felt by visitors in this place. Some people even proclaim that the Baoli is a residence of devils. The Baoli has also become a house for thousands of bats and pigeons. Few years ago the Boali was filled with blackwater. It is believe that from the water strange voices would call out to people asking them to scarify their lives which eventually would lead them to death.

2. Malcha Mahal, Delhi

Malcha Mahal is located near a metro station of Delhi. This place has mixed responses to it being haunted or not. While the haunting is unconfirmed but it is surely a place with royal past. It was constructed by Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Mughal dynasty.

The huge landscape of fort is such that people living inside the fort were totally isolated from the outside world. Though people call Malcha Mahal a haunted palace but the real ghost probably is the location where it was built. Such palaces were built in the middle of forests where kings would go for hunting. So may be the isolation of those days created the reputation of the palace being haunted.

South Park Street Cemetery in Kolkata is one of the oldest non-church cemeteries of the world. It was built in 1767 for the earliest British pioneers of the East India Company.

This was evident when the group was trying to pose and click pictures and they saw a shadow in white dress. Right from then people started avoiding the cemetery.
