Ghosts and mystical legends deserted bhangarh Fort

Some places seem designed to be inhabited by ghosts and restless spirits: for example abandoned houses, bleak wastelands, dark, dense forest. Importantly, it was an old historic place.

The remains of bhangarh Fort built in the 16th century in Rajasthan, are ideally suited for such a place and it is therefore not surprising that it long ago nicknamed "the Fort of the ghosts." With eerie phenomena there occur very often. Bhangar standing at the foot of a mountain in it for a long time no one lives. Its walls are gradually crumbling, and the ruins slowly come to a complete desolation. Once upon a time on its territory there were temples, houses, shops and even the Palace, now all abandoned and ruined.

The Fort was founded in 1573 as the residence Madho Singh, General of Emperor Akbar, the second son of the great ruler Bhagwant Dasa. He had strong fortification walls, strong gates and the Royal Palace, which was once impressed people with its magnificent grandeur. However, in 1783 the people quickly left the place. There are even legends about the fact that all people one day just disappeared.

Officially, the people left because of the drought and the ensuing famine, but there is no evidence. Anyway the city of Fort quickly became deserted and its buildings began to fall apart. In our time at the entrance to the Fort by representatives of the Indian archaeological society was posted a sign that at night the entrance to the city is strictly prohibited. Now Bhangara only live rats, monkeys and ghosts. It is visited by many tourists and local travelers ghosts encountered so often that soon about Bhangar went to fame as one of the most damned places in India. About what Fort was deserted, there are a few mystical legends.

Basically telling two stories.

One tells us that when we lived in Fort St. Balu Nath. It was said that in these places he lived long before the construction of the Fort and all were immortal. He was allowed to build in this place structure, but with the condition that none of them will be so large to cast a shadow on the house or Holy on him while meditating in the forest. If this condition is violated, Balu Nath has promised to impose on the Fort a terrible curse.

"Hardly the shadow of your palaces touch me or my home, your city will cease to exist and will be defeated by wind and dust," ominously said the Saint, but the ruler agreed to his terms and the Fort was built.

The Royal Palace at that time consisted of only 3 floors and none of the buildings do not cast a large shadow. But the years passed, the conditions have been forgotten and in the Fort there are more tall towers. One day a shadow fell on the Saint and curse the city, but he died after that. The Saint was buried somewhere at Fort and now his spirit is still haunting these ruins. from time to time get caught in the open.

The second story tells of a beautiful Princess, Rani Bhangra Ratnawati, which once fell in love with black mage Singhia. He tried a spell to bewitch to his Princess and created a magic potion. But the Princess accidentally spilled it on a stone and the stone rolled towards the magician and crushed him to death. But before dying, the magician cursed the Fort and promised its destruction.

Another version of this same story tells that the Princess herself was a black witch and voodoo rituals are conducted, which killed young children, stolen from local residents to extend their life and beauty. But she fell in love with a man of a lower caste and could not marry him. Because of this, she was angry at the whole city and condemned him to suffering and pain.

As the Ghost of St. the Ghost Princess also supposedly still wanders around the Fort, and when one of the tourists sees among the ruins translucent feminine silhouette, all immediately assume it's the same Princess. One way or another, but it seems this place really is something fishy.

Many say that there do not grow any crops, and even if one were to construct a new building, then the roof will bend and live in the house will be impossible. It is also said that those who enter the city by night contrary to the prohibition signs, never again it will not work. Often talk about the fact that suddenly in the Fort the people began to hear the enchanting music and the laughter of people, then there are dancing figures, and in the Windows of the Palace, you notice a mysterious dark figure.

They also say that if someone of the people will come to the Fort and then begin to walk and explore the ruins for too long, it will die. A famous story about a man who climbed over the ruins, and then found him dumped in a stone well. According to some information he could not fall down and someone pushed, but no one saw next to him of strangers. Another famous case is a bus accident with tourists.

A bus with 50 people rode to the Fort and the blue got in an accident, several people were seriously injured. And such strange cases there are many. Coincidence or the effect of the curse? Nobody knows.
