Another must see when visiting Leh.
Bhangarh
Bhangarh is only recently becoming popular with tourists and that is because of it being known as one of the most haunted places in India. In the recent years many people have stared visited the fort but not after 5pm, when the fort is closed, due to the place being haunted.

I cannot verify the claims that there are ghosts there.
