the curse of Bhangarh

Although it is hard to judge paranormal activities, when the government tells you to stay away from certain places, then there is something that’s not right. Bhangarh Fort is one such place, where you will even get to see signboards, warning you to not remain there after sunset. The history of the fort dates back to the 17th century, and is surely not a place for those with faint hearts. Here are some scary facts about this fort that you should know if you are planning to visit the fort any time soon.

Paranormal activity

When you are here, you might marvel at its majestic architecture, yet many say they are burdened with a sense of anxiety, and they often feel anxious and restless. Some visitors even pointed out that they get a weird sense of paranoia as if somebody is following them around. Reason why, despite its popularity, visitors avoid hanging around the premises of the fort for long.

No visit after sunset

It is completely forbidden to venture or stay inside Bhangarh Fort at night. As a matter of fact, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has even put up boards at several spots in Bhangarh to warn people against staying in the premises after sunset and before the sun rises. As per the locals, anybody who managed to go inside the fort at night, they never returned to tell their tale, as it is believed that spirits roam there at night, which turns this place into a hotbed for paranormal activities.

The 'curse'

As per the legends, Bhangarh fort has been cursed by a hermit named Guru Balu Nath. The spot where the fort has been built once served as the meditation spot of the sage, and when the king pleaded with him that he wanted to build a fort here, the sage agreed on one condition that the fort’s shadow should not touch him. The king persuaded him that the fort’s shadow would not touch him at his place, which sadly did not happen, and the curse of the hermit followed, which led to the entire village being destroyed.

Roofless Village

It’s very strange to witness that every house located in the area is roofless. It is believed that the sage who cursed the town to its ultimate devastation is responsible for it. Referring to this, locals stated that it is not possible to construct a roof on these houses, and even if one is built, it collapses, and such incidents have killed many people in the past.

Unexplained freaky accidents

There are many eerie stories surrounding Bhangarh, and its ill-fated visitors. It’s history is full of misery and anguish, which locals believe has been translated into horrible accidents and misfortune. Locals also added that once three daredevils decided to stay in Bhangarh Fort premises post-sundown, and see if it was really haunted. However, despite being equipped with a torch, one of them fell into a steep well, but was then rescued by his friends who rushed to take him to the hospital. But it seems like it was predestined, all three of them died in a road accident while they were on their way to hospital
