Built in the 17th Century, this fort is believed to be the scariest of all the haunted places in India. Bhangarh, a deserted town in Rajasthan, was established in 1613 by King Madho Singh, son of great Mughal general, Man Singh of Amber. It is believed that Bhangarh was cursed by a wizard and just after the curse, over 10,000 people living there were killed. The ghosts of a princess and the wizard still roam the place. The fort’s story was featured on a show too, and apparently those actors who were a part of the show had some scary experience whilst shooting. There’s another story that has been doing the rounds since a long time now, according to which, the houses in some of the villages around Bhangarh are roofless. If a roof is built even today, it collapses in no time. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) sign board put up there says, “Staying after sunset is strictly prohibited in this area.”
