If you’re the kind who likes making spontaneous thrilling journeys, here are the reasons as to why you need to head to Pune for that ultimate adrenaline rush! Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting to you, the list of most haunted places in Pune:
Shaniwarwada Fort-
Nobody in Pune goes anywhere near the Shaniwarwada Fort on full moon nights, keeping away from the said ghost of Narayanrao Peshwa. The Shaniwarwada haunted story is a popular urban legend in Pune. A young prince, he was murdered in the fort on a full moon night, at the orders of his aunt. Hacked to pieces, his body was cremated by a river. While the murder led to widespread defamation of the Peshwa administration, it also gave birth to many stories about the fort being haunted for good. People have reportedly heard cries for help from the fort at nights, cries that are attributed to Narayanrao Peshwa’s spirit. Even if you don’t spot any substance of the metaphysical kind, just a walk down the spot that saw the cold blooded murder is enough to send a chill down your spine. It is said that on full moon nights, one can clearly hear the words “Kaka Mala Vachva” (“uncle save me”)- the final words of the prince emanating from the fort.
The Victory Theater:Thimayya road in Pune has experienced unexplained noises time and again from this age old theatre. The building is believed to be possessed and locals have reported screams and giggling breaking the eerie silence at unearthly hours. A live horror show will be the perfect after dark adventure! It doesn’t get more real than this. The eeriness of this place makes it one of the most haunted places in Pune.
Sinhagad Fort An ancient fort at some 30 km from Pune, Sinhagad is perched atop a cliff and serves as a popular picnic spot. That, in spite of the many paranormal activities that have (reportedly) taken place there. Choose what spooks you the most from the spirits of Maratha warriors who died in the many battles here, a bus full of ghosts of school children which fell over the cliff near the fort, or the man, clad in white, who appears at a specific spot on the cliff and jumps down much to the horror of onlookers. As alluring as the fort is, most of the tourists desert it before the Sun takes a dip.
Choice Hostel, Karve Road-If you’re living in a hostel right now, then this might leave you with a few restless nights. This boys’ hostel in Pune has known to have witnessed quite a bit of paranormal activity. The students have reported sighting a young lady in a red sari, walking the corridors at midnight. Anklet noises and plenty of sobbing at unearthly hours will send those shivers down your spine! We wonder how they sleep at night?!
