Types of ghosts and haunted places in India. If you happen to be one of those people who are believers of the paranormal then why not come to India to explore some of the haunted places India has to offer. India is a nation of believer of gods, demi- gods and at the same breath they are quick to accept that ghosts (called bhoot in Hindi), demons, witches, the possessed and the un- dead exist side by side. Before I tell you some of the most haunted places, here are some of the types of ghosts Indians believe in and you’ll expect to find. They are different to the ones found in the West such goblins, monsters, demons or zombies. Evil Returns. Witches (Churels): These are very common in the villages of the state of Bihar. When I used to visit my grandparents in the villages as a child, my cousins told stories of these witches.

Khushboo Tawde is a television actress in India well known for her roles in Marathi and Hindi television serials. She is one of the well-known characters called.

It is said that you’ll find these witches on roof tops and floating near the ceiling. They are believed to be unhappy ghosts of women who died during menstruation, childbirth or someone treated badly by her family.

They have reversed feet or backwards pointing feet and no mouth. She would possess a man till the man has been drained of all life or charm a man until he dies prematurely. My real story.

As soon as I called out to my brother, she disappeared behind the wall. We never saw her again. As I write this post, I am getting goose bumps. I cannot confirm whether she was a “churel” or some other entity. The invisible types of ghosts: What scares me the most is those entities that cannot be seen? If you can see something, it’s possible to fight it off perhaps physically but how do you tackle something that you can’t see. For example, strange knocks on doors, whispers, things moved around etc.

My father’s experience. This is a story that my dad told me. As a young boy, my dad used to live in the villages. In the villages many houses are split amongst the brothers as part of their inheritance. Often these houses would have a common passage or corridor to accommodate both sections of the partitioned house.

One such corridor existed between my dad’s parents and dad’s brother. One night he wanted to visit his uncle’s down the corridor.

Interesting thing about this corridor was that it was very narrow and had no windows, just the 2 doors at both ends and a roof. One night while he as was walking down the corridor, he felt that something had dropped on his shoulder. He put his hand on his shoulder to realise that it was human faeces. Even today, my dad is puzzled of its source.

A corridor with no opening, no windows; how could human faeces get there and drop from the ceiling on his shoulder? Absolutely bizarre and spooky.

By the way my dad does not believe in ghosts or god. Watch The Big Short Online Idigitaltimes. Spirits of the dead: The central dogma of Hinduism is the recycle of birth. Once a body dies, the soul lives on and rebirths in another body till it attains moksha (Nirvana or free from the recycle of birth).

So, there are two things that can happen to the departed soul; rebirth in another body or attain moksha. However, some believe that the soul of those who have died a sudden or horrible death might linger on and will torment the living. Jinns or genies: Although the concept of Jinn is a Muslim one and is popular in neighbouring Islamic Republic of Pakistan, nonetheless, it does find space in Hindu India as well due to centuries of Islamic rule. Jinns are supernatural spirits that live side by side with humans. Some are just mere spectators while some have evil designs and occasionally inclined to harm humans. Some Islamic holy men of the Sufi order would advice to wear a “taweej” or talisman to provide protection from the jinn. Rakshasa (demons): They are supposed to be mythical characters found in Hindu and Buddhist literature and holy books.

They are often depicted as ones who tormented the gods. There were constant battle between the gods and Rakshasa (demons).

Is it said that Rakshasa were wicked human beings in their previous lives. Sometimes, criminals are depicted to be rakshasas. Possession by spirits of the dead: Who is she?

Some Indians believe that the living can be possessed by the dead. There are certain tell tale signs of the possessed such as sliding eyeballs within the socket, speaking in a strange manner or speaking in the dead person’s voice etc. My real story. During my visit to my grandparents in the village, I was playing with cousins when we heard our uncle call out to us. We all ran to him to see him and others tying a man to a cot. The man was my granddad’s cow- header. He was speaking in a very strange fashion.

When my uncle asked who he was, the cow- header replied that he was a man who lived a few houses away. My uncle thought that he was possessed and did a well known village ritual to get rid of the demon inside this man. The ritual or the brief exorcisms was stuffing some red chillies in the man’s ear, making him drink water from an old shoe and uttering some verses of the holy Lord Hanuman Chalisa. After a while, the man recovered and was unable to recall what had happened. Later that day we learnt that the named man who lived few houses away had passed away.

Seems as if the cow- herder was been possessed by the man who had just died. This is a real story and I will never forget it. It’s still scares me.

Note: Some of these experiences are my own and it still frightens me. If you have experienced any paranormal activity through personal experience, feel free to share.
