Hyderabad is one of the most popular tourist destinations of South India owing to its legacy of the Nizams. Whether it’s the flavourful and the delicious biriyani or the historical charms like the Charminar, Hyderabad has a lot to attract its tourists from across the world. However, you would find some really mysterious places in the city that can easily be the masala of your haunted stories while sharing your experience with your close ones. Here are a few of such mysterious places that we have listed for your knowledge.
Golconda Fort
Golconda fort was built by the then rulers of Andhra Pradesh – the Kakatiyas in the 13th century. Some of the paranormal activities like frequent sightings of mysterious shadows and strange loud wailings come across from nowhere. Some also say that the queen of the ruler, Taramati who was also a dancer at the Qutub Shah’s court haunts the fort with her singing and dance performances at the nights.
Ravindranagar
Residents of Ravindranagar were shaken by rumors of hauntings in the year 2012 when the locality experienced a series of suicides by some people. The residents would stay awake all night keeping a check while there would be religious mantras and flags put up at the entrance of the houses for safety. It is said that the suicides were committed because of the presence of a spirit which they believe was due to the divine wrath for destroying a temple in the area.
Ramoji Film City
Known as the world’s largest integrated film studio Ramoji film city, it was a war zone once and is also known for supernatural occurrences. While many actors have reportedly seen ghosts in the mirror during makeup and the light men talking about strange figures wanting to push them down from the wall, many violent attacks, especially on women, have also been reported. It’s believed that it’s all due to some of the soldiers who died during the Nizam war. So, if you are heading to this location from the Hyderabad Shamshabad Airport for its charm, this is one of the aspects that would hook you to its past.
Graveyard on Road 12, Banjara Hills
Among the spookiest in the list would be the Graveyard on Road 12, Banjara Hills as there are many strange things noticed. For instance, if someone is driving down the road past the graveyard, the road lights would switch off automatically, the car tires would be punctured, and even a marked drop in temperature is noticed.
Kundanbagh Haunted House
This house they say was broken into by thieves in the year 2002 and dead bodies of the residents were discovered which included three women (a mother and her two daughters). Although the bodies were found in a decomposed condition, the neighbours claim that they had seen the mother and the daughter duo walking around the house just two days before they were found dead. While alive, they would use to light candles at the midnight and scare the neighbours off.
Shamshabad Airport
There have been several spooky and supernatural occurrences reported at the now new Hyderabad Shamshabad Airport. It is believed that the place is haunted by the ghosts of those who died in the protests before the construction of the airport. There are video footages which have captured the presence of the spirits of a man sitting with his head 360 degrees turned or a white saree clad woman dancing on the runway, and so on!
Hyderabad is definitely an exciting place to visit for many other reasons, however, if you are one of those iron-hearted souls who love to explore the mysterious, these are some places you cannot miss. So, the next time you are at the Hyderabad Shamshabad Airport, you know where to head to.
