Bhangarh Fort in Rajasthan is widely known as India’s most haunted location. Built in 1573, the ruined city is steeped in legends of curses by a dark magician and a sadhu. To protect visitors from wild animals and unstable ruins, nighttime entry is legally banned. Despite enduring ghost stories, historians note a severe 1783 famine and political decline actually caused its desertion, making the haunting a lucrative myth for tourism.
