Best Haunted Places In Bangalore

One of the best activities to do among friends is to explore the haunted places around your city or the city that you are vacationing in. There are many places in India which are considered haunted due to some age-old historical event that happened at that place or maybe just due to some recent experiences of people who visited them. If you have the heart of a knight, love to hunt ghosts and ghouls, and live in Bangalore, here are a few haunted places that you can explore around Bangalore during a weekend:

1. Terra Vera, St. Mark’s Road

The house is allegedly haunted after the brutal murder of one of its occupants. There are some paranormal activities like drops in temperatures, eerie sights, and mysterious sounds. These are from the accounts of the locals and thrill-seekers who have been brave enough to explore the surrounding area. The house was built way back in 1943 by El Vaj, who gifted the colonial house to his two daughters, Dolce and Vera. Dolce was murdered in 2002 and Vera moved out of the house shortly after that and the house has been abandoned and in ruins ever since then. Ever since the murder, strange sounds have been heard like the playing of the piano. Even though the house was recently razed to the ground, there are still accounts of recent hauntings in the area.

2. Kalpalli Cemetery

Kalpalli Cemetery is located near the Old Madras Road and it is one of the oldest cemeteries in Bangalore. For years, it has been the final resting place of many people. Many bravehearts who have dared to visit the cemetery have experienced outworldly encounters that they have been unable to put into words. Some people talk about the air being so heavy that they feel suffocated in some areas of the cemetery while others talk about a mysterious man-like being dressed in all-whites who disappears whenever someone tries to approach him.
