Do you enjoy ghost stories?

[urmiladuhan]

If so, this thread is for you.

Please share stories/real life incidences that you find particularly thrilling/enjoyable :)

As a kid, we used to tell each other stories of 'chudail' (witch) who had reverse turned feet and of chowkidars who would have no face as seen in the light of a lantern! And as kids, we would freeze hearing such stories!

I remember my grand mother telling all "Bhoot" stories, their looks and the sounds they make. She used to tell that "bhoots" run away seeing a naked person and we kids should do the same if we ever see a "bhoot"....really funny advice...

वैसे तो में भूत प्रेत में विश्वास नहीं करता पर हा कुछ अजीब सी घटनाओ का साक्षी जरुर हु जो मेरे साथ हो जाती है | अभी कल की बात बताता हु | सुनने में अजीब लगेगा पर हकीकत है | में अपनी ३ साल की बेटी को स्कूल से घर छोड़कर वापस ऑफिस आ रहा था | मेरे ऑफिस के रास्ते में एक चौराहा है जिसे बच्चा पार्क का चौराहा बोला जाता है | जब में आ रहा था तो चौराहे से कुछ मीटर पहले मुझे आवाज आई "पापा" | में सुनते ही चौक गया की ये तो मिष्टी (मेरी बेटी ) की आवाज है ओर मैंने बाइक को स्लो कर लिया |

कुछ सेकंड में आवाज दुबारा आई "पापा रुको तो ", ओर में रुक गया | में पुरे होशो हवास में था ओर मुझे साफ़ साफ़ अपनी बेटी की आवाज आई थी | में फिर से चलने लगा तो आवाज फिर से आई "पापा थोड़ी देर में जाना , रुक तो जाओ "|

में बिलकुल सुन्न सा होके इधर उधर देख रहा था की अचानक धडाम की आवाज आई | चौराहे पर दूसरी ओर से आती एक कार ने एक स्कूटर में बुरी तरह से टक्कर मरी ओर वो स्कूटर वाला कुचला गया | अगर में २ मिनट न रुका होता तो शायद में भी उसी स्कूटर वाले के साथ होता ओर ..............

अब ये इतफाक था या हादसा पता नहीं |

OMG! I am glad you are safe.

I spent the first day of attending graduate school in the U.S registering for accommodation etc. It so happened that my living quarters were right next to the University cemetery (grave yard). It was my first night in those quartes and I happened to be the only occupant. When all the lights were switched off at night, the door to my room started swinging open and shut periodically. That was enough to scare me and I almost spent the whole night wide awake, of course the thoughts of grave yard keeping me company!

Next morning I gathered enough courage to find out if there was something wrong with the door and then I found out there was wind coming from one direction that would swing the door! Nevertheless, I do not forget my first night there.

These days I see so many "Bhoot-Pret" Hollywood movies hitting cinema screens. Then you have "Ghost Hunters" type TV programs. Americans are ahead of us when it comes to believing in ghosts and their stories.

I find it a short of combination of our "Shradhya" and "Goverdhan" where one remembers the dead ones and also does some sort of harvest celebration through pumpkins and corns. By its very nature, Halloween appears to be a pre-Christian festival. I am sure its roots must be 1000s of years old. Name Hallowveen and our Hindu festival "Hoyee" sound so similar. Who knows there might be some common origin.

That would be awesome!

Somebody from Kerela was telling me that the festival of Pongal is traditionally celebrated by over boiling rice in a pot so it starts overflowing - to signify plentiful :). Halloween is also a harvest festival.

I wouldnt know about ghosts but I do have a strong intution, at times I think about somethings and they happen momentarily but weird thing is, only when I do not tell anyone.

For those who believe in the presence of ghosts, here are a few places listed where you can find them.

The Tree near Dwarka, Sector 9 Metro Station
People travelling in call centre cabs at night have experienced an energy slapping them and a woman appearing and disappearing or travelling along with the speed of the car. Yes, it sounds creepy but according to many, it�s true.
The Tree | Near Dwarka Sector 9 Metro Station, New Delhi-75
Delhi Cantonment
A lush green area managed by the security services of our country is supposedly a shelter for a spirit of a lady who died in a car mishap there. Many people have confirmed her presence time and again.
Delhi Cantonment | South West Delhi (http://www.sodelhi.com/present-regions/600-west-delhi)
House No. W-3
It is an abandoned house located in South Delhi (http://www.sodelhi.com/present-regions/598-south-delhi) where an aged couple were murdered a decade ago. Various sounds ranging from sobs to screams emanate from the house as reported by the neighbours. Similar haunted houses can be found in Defence Colony, Green Park (http://www.sodelhi.com/local-markets/2844-green-park), Lajpat Nagar, Lodhi Road and many places where properties worth crores have been deserted since decades due to the paranormal activities happening in them.
House No, W-3 | Greater Kailash I, New Delhi-48
Feroz Shah Kotla (http://www.sodelhi.com/forts-monuments/2492-feroz-shah-kotla-fort)
The first impression that you get after a brief look at the Feroz Shah Kotla fort, is that of a haunted place, especially, because it does not see many visitors today. The fort was built back in 1354 by Feroz Shah Tughlaq, who built Firozabad (one of the seven cities of Delhi). It is situated on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, where a narrow lane leads to this macabre citadel. This site is said to have Djinns residing in the ruins and the dark halls. Every Thursday, one can see the locals lighting candles, incense sticks, leaving offerings of milk & grain and writing letters to appease the djinns hoping for their wishes to come true.
Feroz Shah Kotla | Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi-02
Khooni Nadi (Bloody River)
This flows across Rohini in Delhi and it is believed that whoever enters the river is sucked inside it by a mysterious force. Many have lost their lives there and the reason for this phenomenon is still unknown.
Khooni Nadi | Rohini, Delhi
Sanjay Van (http://www.sodelhi.com/nature-wildlife/476-sanjay-van) (near Qutub Institutional Area)
Sanjay Van (http://www.sodelhi.com/nature-wildlife/476-sanjay-van) is a stretch of about 10 Kms, a green lung of the city but also known to be haunted by spirits as it houses innumerable Majaars (masouleums of sufi saints) & graves punctuated with broken ramparts of Qila Rai Pithora. Many encounters have been reported ever since its existence.
Sanjay Van | Near Vasant Kunj (http://www.sodelhi.com/colonies/1261-vasant-kunj) and Mehrauli (http://www.sodelhi.com/ancient-cities/244-mehrauli) in South-West Delhi-70
Mutiny House (http://www.sodelhi.com/memorials-modern-architecture/331-mutiny-memorial)
A memorial built by the British to commemorate the death of their officials in the revolt of 1857, people have found chopped-up moving arms and legs of the deceased officials in the evenings. It truly must be a ghastly sight for those who have witnessed it first hand.
Mutiny Memorial (http://www.sodelhi.com/memorials-modern-architecture/331-mutiny-memorial) | In front of the Old Telegraph Building, Kashmiri Gate (http://www.sodelhi.com/forts-monuments/1368-kashmiri-gate), New Delhi-55
Bhuli Bhatiyari ka Mahal (http://www.sodelhi.com/forts-monuments/2839-bhuli-bhatiyari-ka-mahal)
An old hunting lodge of Tughlaq, the name of this place is said to be derived from Bu-Ali Bhatti's name (the female caretaker of the lodge) which got twisted to Bhuli Bhatiyari. The entry to the monument from the North-East, interestingly, is twin-gated, strange for a structure that is deemed 'not so' important. It has remained abandoned and left unoccupied for centuries and is known to be haunted with various sounds and invisible shuffling activity around this part of the ridge.

Karbala Graveyard (http://www.sodelhi.com/memorials-modern-architecture/6376-karbala-graveyard-b-k-dutt-colony-new-delhi)
Karbala is a Shiite burial ground in BK Dutt Colony for the funeral of tazias, the ritual coffins of Imam Husain Ibn Ali (the prophet�s grandson). If you look carefully, you�ll be able to clearly see the auspicious material (or whatever remains of them now) used to perform the rituals on or near a couple of graves. There is an eerie and gloomy ambience about this place, marked by cries and a certain loneliness which may get to you especially if visited during the evenings.
Karbala Graveyard | Karbala Rd, Civil Colony, BK Dutt Colony, New Delhi-03
The Ridge (http://www.sodelhi.com/nature-wildlife/491-delhi-ridge)
The Delhi ridge (http://www.sodelhi.com/picnic-spots/491-delhi-ridge), an extension of the Aravalli Hill Range in NCT of Delhi is a haunting rocky & hilly, forested area where some of the most gory events of history took place. One can witness firangi ghosts still hovering the ridge, marking their territory. It is notorious for its moody ghosts and be careful as parts of the Ridge don't get any network.
The Ridge | Timarpur, New Delhi-54
Jamali Kamali Tomb & Mosque (http://www.sodelhi.com/forts-monuments/221-jamali-kamali-tomb-and-mosque)
Located within the folds of Mehrauli Archaeological Park (http://www.sodelhi.com/historic-gardens/481-mehrauli-archaelogical-park), Jamali, the renowned sufi saint was buried here in 1535 alongside Kamali. You get an unsettling feeling once inside the chamber of the tomb and can also experience all kinds of noises calling out to you from the nearby graves, marking it unsafe to visit during night time.
Jamali Kamali (http://www.sodelhi.com/forts-monuments/221-jamali-kamali-mosque-and-mausoleum) Tomb & Mosque | Mehrauli Archaeological Park, New Delhi-30

Nicholson's Cemetery (http://www.sodelhi.com/memorials-modern-architecture/1472-nicholson-s-cemetary)
This is one of the oldest cemeteries in town, dating back to the British era and there are a lot many graves of British soldiers, their wives and children buried here. As you walk inside, the first thing that strikes you is that the entire place is engulfed in pin-drop silence however often you can feel a nagging presence lurking and following you, hidden behind the huge tamarind trees and palm trees found here. You can ignore their presence but just make sure that they don't follow you home.

Poori delhi naap di, shukar se kangress mukhyala ka nam na lia :P....(on a lighter note)

[urmiladuhan]

Today being Halloween, I am posting a ghost sort of real life incidence told to me by a jatni. She was coerced by an acquaintance to visit a guru cum medicine man in a nearby village for solving her problems. She went to him, did pooja path as told by him and came home. From that day onwards, she started 'seeing' skeletons in her house that only were visible to her ( कंकाल - किसी का अाधा जाबडा अर किशे का पूरा !) । It continued for about 6 months and her only solace was to read Gita or chant om nameh shiva and things gradually improved in her skleton visions department. Now she says, she does not 'see' them.

This is one of the oldest cemeteries in town, dating back to the British era and there are a lot many graves of British soldiers, their wives and children buried here. As you walk inside, the first thing that strikes you is that the entire place is engulfed in pin-drop silence however often you can feel a nagging presence lurking and following you, hidden behind the huge tamarind trees and palm trees found here. You can ignore their presence but just make sure that they don't follow you home.

Golden words.. Of course the Gold used is the one dug from Unnao. .. I am really amazed how fiction becomes reality and gets floated all over.

Today being Halloween, I am posting a ghost sort of real life incidence told to me by a jatni. She was coerced by an acquaintance to visit a guru cum medicine man in a nearby village for solving her problems. She went to him, did pooja path as told by him and came home. From that day onwards, she started 'seeing' skeletons in her house that only were visible to her ( कंकाल - किसी का अाधा जाबडा अर किशे का पूरा !) । It continued for about 6 months and her only solace was to read Gita or chant om nameh shiva and things gradually improved in her skleton visions department. Now she says, she does not 'see' them.

Interesting. I wonder if any survey has been conducted whether women or men believe more in Ghost stories and who have encountered the Ghosts and devils more often? Let me share my own experience. I have never come across any Ghost or devil so far. I have walked through jungles at midnight, slept in the middle of sugarcane fields and walked through graveyards at odd hours. My only experience is that whenever I drive on a particular road in USA, I feel spiritually elevated and sort of liberated.

Looks like some ghosts like to live in tunnels.

thats interesting! wow. OMG.
There was a time when as a student, my favorite pass time was to read books in grave yard (it used to be pleasantly quiet and nice, especially on sunny afternoons). Some of my Indian friends were aghast when they found out my 'hanging out' spot :)

Once I was returning alone to home from our fields post midnight. I was around 10-11 years old that time. It was summer time and night was very humid. There was no wind blowing around whatsoever. Suddenly I heard something right behind me. I immediately turned back and flashed my torch around and found nothing. It happened 3-4 times. Later I realized it was a stray dog in the adjacent fields, but did gave me goose bumps.

वैसे तो में भूत प्रेत में विश्वास नहीं करता पर हा कुछ अजीब सी घटनाओ का साक्षी जरुर हु जो मेरे साथ हो जाती है | अभी कल की बात बताता हु | सुनने में अजीब लगेगा पर हकीकत है | में अपनी ३ साल की बेटी को स्कूल से घर छोड़कर वापस ऑफिस आ रहा था | मेरे ऑफिस के रास्ते में एक चौराहा है जिसे बच्चा पार्क का चौराहा बोला जाता है | जब में आ रहा था तो चौराहे से कुछ मीटर पहले मुझे आवाज आई "पापा" | में सुनते ही चौक गया की ये तो मिष्टी (मेरी बेटी ) की आवाज है ओर मैंने बाइक को स्लो कर लिया |

कुछ सेकंड में आवाज दुबारा आई "पापा रुको तो ", ओर में रुक गया | में पुरे होशो हवास में था ओर मुझे साफ़ साफ़ अपनी बेटी की आवाज आई थी | में फिर से चलने लगा तो आवाज फिर से आई "पापा थोड़ी देर में जाना , रुक तो जाओ "|

में बिलकुल सुन्न सा होके इधर उधर देख रहा था की अचानक धडाम की आवाज आई | चौराहे पर दूसरी ओर से आती एक कार ने एक स्कूटर में बुरी तरह से टक्कर मरी ओर वो स्कूटर वाला कुचला गया | अगर में २ मिनट न रुका होता तो शायद में भी उसी स्कूटर वाले के साथ होता ओर ..............

अब ये इतफाक था या हादसा पता नहीं |

Perhaps divine intervention. Read about a person whose mother persuaded him not to got to take Hyderabad-bangalore bus whole day, which met with a tragic accident yesterday. He finally agreed to the pleading mother 10 minutes before departure of the bus. Got down from the bus and survived.

Interesting. I fully believe that there are certain spots which have effect on our moods. There is 1mx1m corner in courtyard of my house. Whenever I sit their in a chair, it feels like as if I am literally in heaven. Feeling disappears as soon as I move out of that slot. Probably the effect is because of the surrounding view I get from there and nothing else. I will accept your graveyard story as graveyards in USA are well kept, open and almost like a good park. I often walk through graveyards to read the short obituaries on stones and the year of death. Its interesting how people pour their emotions for the loved ones.

I don't know about that but definitely there seem to be more men than women who run these types of institutions ( झाड़ा, future control and future tellers etc).
