The Top Scariest place in India --- Bhangarh fort of Rajasthan

Bhangarh is a place on way from Jaipur to Alwar city in Rajasthan
state of India. Today Bhangarh is known for its ruins where nobody dares
to stay after sunset. Looking through history we find that this town
was established by Madho Singh, younger brother of King Akbar’s General
Raja Man Singh, in 1631. But the city seems to have been abandoned in a
hurry some centuries later.

The
local folks say that due to a curse the whole town was vacated
overnight. According to the story of the curse, if the town was ever
rediscovered the township would not be found, but only temples would
show up.
True to the story only temples dot the landscape and even
far up on the mountains only shrines can be seen. It is said that nobody
returns from there who stays after dark.
By the Government of India
rules there has to be an office of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)
beside every historical structure in India. But even government
authorities did not dare to open an office there. They opened their
office about one kilometer away from the ruins of Bhangarh. Even this
office is close to a temple because of this myth. ASI has put a
signboard at Bhangarh saying, "Staying after sunset is strictly
prohibited in this area."

People
who visit this place out of tourist interest say that there is a
strange feeling in the atmosphere of Bhangarh, which causes sort of
anxiety and restlessness.
The story of this restlessness goes as the
following. The charm of princess of Bhangarh Ratnawati was said to be
matchless in entire Rajasthan. Being merely eighteen years old, the
princess started getting wedding offers from other states. In the same
region there also lived a tantrik, a magician using black magic, named
Singhia who was desperately in love with the princess and who also knew
that king would never even allow him to see the princess.
Once he saw
princess's maid in the market buying scented oil for princess. Seeing
this he got a wicked idea of getting the princess. He used his black
magic and put a spell on the oil which would hypnotise the princess by
her mere touching the oil and she would immedialely walk towards the
tantrik to satisfy him sexually. But as soon as the princess got the oil
she threw it on the block of a stone as she had seen the tantrik eying
the oil. As soon as the oil touched the stone, the stone started rolling
towards the wicked tantrik Singhia and crushed him. While dying Singhia
cursed the palace that there will be such an incident that everybody in
the palace would die and their souls will stay there for centuries
without rebirth. The very next year there was a battle between
Bhangarh-Ajabgarh and no one survived in the battle nor in the palace,
not even the princess Ratnawati. Also
the prime minister cursed Bhangarh that no one would settle there in
future and whoever dares will die as well. It is said by the local
villagers that whenever a house has been built there its roof has
collapsed. It seems to be true because inside Bhangarh all the houses
are without a roof and even at the closest village where people reside,
they still have roofs made of straw but not bricks.
