I visited vrindavan last year with my younger brother as i got to know lord kishna visits vrindavan everyday even till this decade. I was so surprised & hence made a plan to visit the holy place.  We started of in the morning,  reached there by evening. After discovering  many neighborhood areas, we headed to vrindavan. The vibes were too good there but the plan of meeting lord krishna failed as no one is allowed to stay there at night after eight. Let me tell you what is the story behind this - Vrindavan is 5700 years old. People in this area believe that lord krishna visits this place at night. There are some trees around the temple those are small in size, they turn into gopis at night, even the monkeys & other animals leave the place before it is dark. The temple is locked with 3 different locks in the evening and are found opened in the morning.  People say that lord kris

Kuldhara is the second most haunted place in india as known by people. It lies in Rajasthan, The state which is famous for its tourism & haunted places.  As no. 1 haunted place in india, the bhangarh fort also lies in it. Although both, bhangarh & kuldhara are considered as the most haunted places in india, they are the tourist spots at day time & are shut down in the evening. Kuldhara village was abandoned around 170 years ago. It is located in jaisalmer district. It was the village of paliwal brahmans. There is a story that deewan of that village used to take higher duties, taxes & used to trouble the people of the village. He fell in love with the daughter of the leader of the village, but the villagers didnt agree to deewan. In return he started torturing the villagers mentally & financially. As a result the whole village abandoned the village,  giving it the curse that no one will ever be able to live in this place. No one knows where the whole village went, it

Uttrakhand is land of gods, and if god is there, the devils is there too. There are several places in uttrakhand that are considered as haunted by many of the people, and one of those places is sawla village. Sawla village lies in champawat district of uttrakhand, kumaon region.  There is a story that in 1950's, a military  vehicle was passing through that route, which accidentally fell down the road and all the soldiers were badly injured. They were screaming out of pain, people of sawla village rushed towards them & except helping them they looted all their belongings & left the soldiers there to die. From that day the ghosts of those soldiers are haunting the village & if anyone tries to enter the village, they drag him/her to the same place where they died. A temple was also made so that they stop haunting the village but nothing worked. To confirm if it's a myth or reality me and chachaji reached there one day.  We asked the people of nearby villages about the

Hanging out with cousins is fun,  isn't it?, this is the tale of time when i was a kid. We had come to our village for jatra, a pooja in which we make offerings to god like goat, coconut etc. It is a big ritual which comes ones in several years, the whole family come together  to village at that time.  As the family is big, I met all my cousins at the same time. It was very being there with my cousins but at the same time it was unacceptable for me to see an animal getting killed in front of me. As the ritual started and the goat was killed in front of my eyes, i and my cousins got scared & the same thing was rolling all over our mind.  The same day we decided to sleep on the terrace of our home in village, eldest sister of us also told us that she just lost one of her friends as she commited suicide few days back because  she failed 12 standard exams. This made us more scared, as we were already  sleeping on open roof, and all the elders were sleepin in their respected rooms.
