Bhangarh Fort - The most haunted place in India

For those people who go there to unwind a bit be aware that there are no wine shops around that place and the only lousy shop there is sells country liquor and beer that tastes like hell. Carry your own stuff if you need it.
 
Carry your own stuff
Now that is some real info. I was under the impression that you cannot carry bottles around from one state to another. Last time I was in India I saw stamps saying only for sale in so and so state where ever I bought it from.
 
I have seen a lot programs on TV regarding Bhangarh, and all the programs involved people staying overnight at the fort some with experts and some without and nothing has been experienced, so the whole haunted thing seems very fake, and yet its classified as being one of the most places in India.

There is no official classification for how haunted a place is. I could wake up one day and declare my own house as the most haunted place on Earth but it does not necessarily mean you would experience something when you come for a visit.

Just my own opinion
 
Hiii guys bhangarh is a really haunted place but in day time it is the most beautiful place u have ever seen I am from Alwar which is near from bhangarh about 25 km
 
Those pictures are amazing, there’s a certain air of mysticism in that place. That story of Singhia and Ratnavati is very popular, but there’s also another story about Balu Nath, a guru who threw a spell to the city. Is it true that in the entrance there’s a sign that says you can’t be there at night and before sunrise? I know it could be to avoid vandalism or something, but what if spooky things really happen. I don’t know about you but I’m dying to visit Bhangarh.

Yes there is a sign saying entry is prohibited after sun set and before sun rise but this is not specific to this monument alone, any place that is maintained by ASI (Archaeological survey of India) has the same rules and regulations which include no entry at night.
 
Looks awesome! I'll make sure to make my way over there on my next rip to India. I've always loved those kind of still and preserved places like that. It'd be great for photography as well, which is a field that I'm wanting to maybe dip my toe into. Great post!
 
Ghost stories aside, it really looks beautiful during the day. I would't mind going there at all. It looks really special. Since it was known for the stories, it probably has some very rich history. Legendary history at that.

Oh, so it’s not because it’s haunted and something can happen to visitors? Just kidding, but I truly wish it was haunted. I love all these stories and I’ve read a lot about Bhangarh because of this. I’m going to India next year and I think this will be one of my first stops.

I don’t know how people manage to take decisions in regard to what they’ll have time to visit and what they’ll leave for other time. India is huge and has too many awesome places. I definitely need to become a millionaire so that I can stay there for two or three months and see all that I want to see.

I am sure you would one day but to visit India for 3-4 months you do not have to be a millionaire. Traveling in India using public transport is probably the cheapest in the world and if you can get used to eating what locals do then you hardly need $4-5 per day for food and accommodation could be as low as $12-15 in a not so bad room. Make friends here in the forum and you might be able to stay free at some places :) Indians are very hospitable in that respect.
 
Doesn't look very haunted, but then again I don't believe in ghosts, but I do believe in demons.
In reply to Chahlal, I have heard India can be quite cheap to stay in. $12\night is pretty cheap. I worked at an Indian restaurant in the US and fell in love with the food. That is the main reason I want to go.
 
Having visited the place myself, I would certainly recommend a visit to this beautiful yet spooky place. On our trip, we met a person riding his bicycle, and was kind enough to answer our questions regarding the fort. According to him, long back a king Madho Singh who ruled the land, had constructed this fort. There lived a sadhu in that area who was known to worship Lord Shiva. While the fort was being constructed, the sadhu pleaded that the fort must not cast shadow on the area he lives at, to which the arrogant king had turned a deaf ear and had raised the walls of his fort to a height at which they casted shadow on the area where the sadhu lived. Annoyed sadhu cursed the king and his land for destruction and thus the result, no one can live in the fort area as no ceiling can be hold to a house till date.
 
Wow, it looks like Bhangarh will give me the creeps. Maybe it is worth a try but I'm sure my wife would prefer to see the tigers in the reserve, waheehee. It's no joke to be scared like that - going inside a haunted place. We have a place like that called Corregidor, an island fort that used to house soldiers during the second world war. Most of the people I know who have been there sait the place is surely haunted. No, I haven't been there yet and I have no plans, waheehee.
 
I love myself a good ghost story! Like most people here, I've seen documentaries on Bhangarh, where ghost hunters try and track down any supernatural phenomena. Well, I don't believe in ghosts, but I love the whole mystery that surrounds sites like Bhangarh. So it's definitely on my bucket list.

When I was in Mumbai I happened to pass through the D’Souza Chawl in Mahim that's also said to be haunted. Apparently some lady fell in a well and now haunts the place every single night. So if you're a fan of ghost stories like me, then you ought to check it out as well.

I think that is a nice interesting story, thanks for sharing. Is it true that till date there are no buildings in nearby areas. That is just amazing and quite unbelievable! Personally I like spooky paces like this. I wish I could be there once. As per a feedback received from one of my friends, when you are in a group you will not be able to experience anything unusual about.

In same cases there are people who deliberately create scenes like this to gain popularity. I heard similar incidents about temples just to make it famous. But I think Bhangarh is really a haunted place.
 
How incredible! I find spooky places to be some of the most fascinating. I am always open to the possibility that a place could be haunted, but I don't assume every noise is a ghost either. Your photos are great, and they make me really want to visit for myself.
I will definitely be adding this beautiful place to my bucket list.
 
Wow! As someone who is addicted to this sort of spooky stuff, this is another great reason to visit India. I'm most definitely visiting this one as soon as possible. When i think about it, I really didn't explore these aspects of India. The first thing I will do next is actually check if there is more to this and share it with you guys!

But overall, since my knowledge in this things about India is pretty slim, is there actually more haunted places? Anything scary in particular?
 
I went to Bhangarh a few years back, it wasn't a planned journey but we had a few days free in Jaipur. It didn't seem particularly haunted to me, but it was very serene and peaceful. There was a great feeling of the past to the place, during my journey there it was a sunny, clear day and the view was majestic. A truly beautiful place and well worth seeing.
