It is believed that people have witnessed a beheaded spirit and also there have been cases of people missing from the place.

History of this place also says that it was Muslims who used to bury their members here and Britishers found the place really big and fine, so they used it for themselves. The cemetery was named after the British man who got this place ready for their British soldiers.

A very famous story related to this beheaded ghost reads as “Sir Nicolas (The ghost) fell in love with an Indian woman who was already married. Unfortunately, customs didn’t allow him to have his love of life, he shot himself in the head and since then it is believed that he comes on every full moon night in the search of his love”.

 This beautiful tragedy has evolved this place into one of the most haunted places in Delhi.

Dwarka sector 9

When you pass this area of sector 9, your eyebrows will surely rise up a bit looking at the weird placement of the peepal tree in the middle of the road. Along the Peepal tree, there is a Neem tree also and they both are together cemented in a circular area. There are several pictures and sculptures that have been placed underneath the trees. Mostly the employees from the industrial areas have witnessed such paranormal activities around this peepal tree.

The place has been a witness to many accidents in the daylight and night too. People claim that an old lady seems to chase their car at the same speed as the car. They have also been saying that people have experienced negative vibes and sometimes someone slaps them on the face. Many people have reported and made vlogs in the night time in that area and most of them have claimed that they have always felt some negative energy around.

The history does not have much-related stories to the event but it is said that some kind of an accident took place there before and the dead has since remained there.

Sanjay Van

 What’s that enthralling thing about a haunted place that draws our attention towards it? The keenness to know the unknown or the thrill and chill to find out if it really is true what they say. I am sure that would make it an unforgettable experience and a story to recite your entire life. Now, we will tell you about a haunted place in the capital, the Sanjay Van.

This place in Delhi is decorated with lush greenery all around and the continue chirping of birds makes it a heaven of the nature lovers as this forest is one of the most thickly wooded areas of the city and home to several species of birds such as Asian Koel, white-breasted kingfisher, purple sunbird and more. A walk through it during winters is perfect to explore its thorny vegetation and rest under the shade of its trees. But the night has an altogether story to tell. The eerie, spooky beings that it is known for a venture in the darkness roaming without abandon in the thick of the forest.

Spread over 10 sq km, the forest has many graves and majaars of Sufi saints and also broken ramparts of Qila Rai Pithora. Several tales of people feeling the presence of something unknown, hearing cries and laughter when no one is around and spotting a lady in a white sari who then vanishes into thin air aren’t uncommon. Though many may not venture into a forest at night, these tales have further cordoned off others. But if you are willing to brave the night, we wish you luck.
