Bangalore’s most haunted places that will scare the daylights out of you!

The list of haunted places in Bangalore is short but intriguingly unique. Amid the vast numbers that are rumoured to harbour their own wandering spirits, the old mansion named Terra Vera, the desolate Kalpalli Cemetery and the hungry ghost of Victoria Hospital top the list. And if you are planning to fly down to the city anytime soon, do spare a while for the ghostly apparitions at the Bangalore International Airport as there are enough testimonies for these too.

Terra Vera
This old, deserted mansion wears the crown of the most famous ghost house in Bangalore. It was built in the year 1943 by EJ Vaj, who gifted it to his two daughters - Dolce and Vera. The story took a brutal turn on a fateful day in 2002 when Dolce, a piano teacher, was stabbed to death in the house; her body was buried in the premises by an unidentified attacker. Vera moved out of the house soon after, leaving the place as it was. People soon begun to witness ghostly apparitions in the house, including songs being played on the piano inside the deserted house. A bunch of ghostbusters also reportedly found an inverted cross and headless statues of Jesus and Mary inside the house. The building was razed to the ground some years back, yet nobody dares to venture near this area.

Kalpalli Cemetery
One of the oldest cemeteries in Bangalore, Kalpalli Cemetery also holds a distinction in when it comes to Bangalore haunted places. Eyewitness accounts report occurings as bizarre as spirits rising from their graves, spotting a man dressed in white who walks around the graves only to disappear when you try to approach him. There are also many stories of people experiencing an "uncanny feeling of being watched", of having somebody's gaze fixed on them in the cemetery. There have also been reports of people feeling suffocated at certain spots in the cemetery. This one scores so high on the haunted quotient that even the guards on duty steer clear from the graves once the Sun takes a dip.


Victoria Hospital

A hungry ghost is believed to haunt the premises of Victoria Hospital in Bangalore. Hungry, as people have been leaving packed food under a tree in the hospital premises only to find food packets gone the next morning! A few people have reportedly seen a woman roaming in the hospital, crying loudly in the rather silent nights. The hospital’s security guards have also reported such sightings at night, stating that the said ghost is of a woman who died in the hospital some decades back.

Bangalore International Airport

Be on your guard the next time you are at the Bangalore International Airport. It all began when some years back, a pilot claimed to have seen a lady strolling across the runaway and reported the same to the authorities. She was caught by the authorities but then disappeared thereafter, sending waves of wonder followed by dread. The cargo wing of the airport is also rumoured to be haunted by the same ghost. Taxi drivers in the area, too, have reported cases of a lady hailing their cabs and then disappearing from the back seat! Some of these haunted places in Bangalore like the Kalpalli Cemetery have quite a notorious reputation and attract antisocial elements. Thus, they need to be visited with discretion. A perfect fantasy for ghostbusters, these spots in Bangalore might just change your beliefs. Or not.
