Haunted Destinations in India! You’ll find loads of them; even our National Capital has not been spared. Yes, there are many haunted places in Delhi. Many true Indian ghost stories have been acknowledged here and one of them is in the Delhi Cantonment. Delhi Cantonment popularly referred to as Delhi Cantt is one of the three statutory towns that make up the National Capital Territory of Delhi.These cantonments were originally established by the British Indian Army. With few strange incidences and bizarre events, this has become one of the most eerie places in Delhi. So here goes this real Indian ghost story.

Delhi Cantt area is full of green lush trees and haunted forests. It is reported that this place is haunted by a vengeful spirit of the lady clad in white sari asking for lift from the motorists. If people don’t stop their vehicle, she starts running swiftly with the same speed and reaching ahead of them. Some people claim that possibly the lady was a traveller while alive; hence she waves at lonely passersby to stop. There is another true Indian ghost story which says that a woman in white dress roams around the Ashok Vihar flyover between 1am and 4am. Anyone who passes by at that hour, and stops to ask her for directions, will not find their way home that night. Their vehicles break down or they go around in circles. She is also been spotted under a fig tree in Dwarka Sector 9 and in Andheria (Mor) Modh, where call-centre employees and their cab drivers are strictly advised against pulling over to have a chat. Sometimes, she appears in the middle of the road, only to disappear under the wheels. 

Hold on! Do these white-saree-woman stories seem to be heard somewhere? Ain’t this the Bollywood’s foray into the empire of horror. Ain’t this a kick-off to the genre of Indian horror movies? Remember ‘Bees SaalBaad’, released in 1988, in which Dimple Kapadia stops the traffic as a vengeful ghost? There are many more….. 

The white-sari-clad spirit is an old cliché! Such stories of Indian female ghosts have being coming from ages as if wanting to increase the number of haunted destinations in Delhi. On one hand, a female Indian ghost wearing white sari gliding around with a candle is a popular sighting in many parts of Delhi while on the other hand; cynics refute the eyewitness’justification of all ghost sightings. They believe the limitations of human perception and mundane explanations can account for such sightings. However, it is difficult to believe how the limitations of human perception could happen to more than a dozen people. Keeping aside the facts of the matter, these stories and incidences are proving to be another reason for ghost hunters to visit these haunted destinations in India. In addition, these Indian ghost stories have also been cooked, boiled and fried by different media and guess what!It is very well received by their target market.News Media, Ghost hunters, Critics, Eyewitnesses and of course the name – Delhi, they all combine to brand  as the top haunted places in India.

  5. Came around this article from Times of India page, It reminds me the winter of 2004 when while working with a BPO, we were traveling via Ashok Vihar flyover. Suddenly there were weird message on wireless from one of the Cab ahead of us that they spotted ghost lady sitting at the footpath. We stopped to check that and found that lady in while was a mentally challenged one and police was arranging to escort her to shelter house. Truly weird things happen in night.

  6. my god.....This reminds of one sighting at the same place mentioned above.
    I was new in Delhi,It was karvachauth of 2008 & i was returning after a dandia night from Kamla Nagar(north delhi) to Rohini.At Gujrawala Town from where the Ashok Vihar flyover starts,i had a sight of this lone lady standing on footpath,clad in extraordinarily white gown,seeing her i accelerated my bike as it was an hour past midnight & my friends had already warned me against female hitchhikers(which was quiet prevalent in delhi that time).
    I didn't know this story at that time,but i always had doubt about her being one of goons.Reason 1:She didn't try to stop me.2:The weird feeling i got after seeing her,especially by the whiteness of her gown which was not normal.

  7. Those who don't believe in these occurrences are often the ones who meet them in the most drastic way..i am myself enthusiast and love watching ghosts and spending a night roaming in these places...and they exist, if world has gods, it has devils,..AS POWERFULL AS GODS themselves...so believe in existence...balance exists..trust me..there are situations where not even Hanuman Chalisa helped..i believe in inspecting and experiencing myself...just make sure to keep your calm and get your "Kundali" checked for these influences before you try to get inside their world...they are amazing..but can devastate if your calm and judgement sense are lost
