Five Most Haunted Places In Mumbai Which Will Spook You All, Stories Situated With Them
When we hear the name of Mumbai the only thing
which comes through our mind is glamour, luxury, high society, celebrities and
city that never sleeps but have we ever thought of someone who never sleeps in
this sleepless city. You would not believe that there are some places in this
city which will spook you out even in days. I am going to take you all a small
tour in some so called places listed as haunted places in Mumbai through my
words and I will try to write to be as practical as possible.
The Cursed Room At The Grand Paradi Tower
The list starts with the Grand Paradi Towers
which is positioned in the middle of the city at Kemp’s corner. When you will
visit the place you will be astonished to see the building and the area because
it is located in one of the posh area of the city but the flat in the eight
floor has not been sold for almost twenty years. This is supposed to be haunted
after more than twenty unexplainable accidents have been recorded since the
building was constructed in 1979. One of the most horrible incidents was
recorded in 2004, when an old couple committed suicide and not only the
incident stretched itself to more lives. Their children and grandchildren were
dead within the year itself. The residents were not able to explain such
incidents which has ended the three generations altogether and not only that
many more incidents were recorded like the suicidal accidents of children and
even maids. These things cannot be explained easily. After the series of
gruesome incidents, the flat has remained unoccupied. The reason behind these
incidents is unexplainable because we do not have any proofs and we cannot say
that those people were mentally disturbed. It seems like the flat was not able
to welcome anything living.

Mukesh Mill, The Possession Story
Now the number two in my list is the famous
Mukesh Mills, which has been shut down in 1980. This is an enormously abandoned
mill which is now an attraction for the film industry. This mill will display
the real picture of how a haunted place looks like. Film industry has always
considered the mill a perfect set for a horror movie. But the reality is that
people no longer wither around this mill because this mill is considered to be
haunted and even the bravest man has not entered this mill after dawn. There is
no concrete story about this mill but there have been incidents which has made
this mill abandoned. The most famous incident is about an actress who was with
her crew member. During the shoots, she was believed to be possessed because
she began to speak in a masculine voice and she warned them to leave the mill
or else face the consequences. After this event the film industry has decided
to leave the mill to the people who have been staying there for god knows how
many years and what really had happened in this mill that the unworldly
residents are still occupying the mill and scaring the people out the mill.

Aarey Milk Colony, The Spooky Greenary
When you see a open green lands stretched
widely, you will definitely want to spend some time alone or with your dear and
near ones from your busy schedule but the people of Mumbai would rather stay
home then to pay a visit to the vast and green and lustrous Aarey Milk Colony,
which is one of the most green and open space in Mumbai. People generally visit
this place so that they can spend some quite time and the film industry will
come to capture the greenery here but no one will dare to stray here during
night. The colony was set up for the Aarey dairy employees in 1949 situated in
the Goregaon east in Mumbai. The issue of this greenery and the reason for my
compiling it to my third list is that people have felt unusual and
unexplainable ghostly appearances. The place is no doubt a picturesque place
but because of its unusual appearances people have decided not to disturb the
place which has been already chosen for wandering by some paranormal occupants.

The Tower Of Silence, Known As The Land Of Death
Religion is a different sphere and every
religion has their different norms and customs. Our nation is such a strong
body which has been holding so many religion altogether and Parsi are among
them. You might be wondering why I am talking about religion when from the very
beginning I am talking about the haunted places in Mumbai. But I do have a
reason to write about religion here because ‘The Tower of Silence’ is listed as
the fourth haunted place in my list which is situated in the Malabar Hills in
South Mumbai. The Tower of Silence is the place where the Parsis leave their
dead bodies to be feasted on. Parsis believe that the only last thing left
after their death is to leave their body unattended so that their body can be
eaten up. Their notion behind this custom can be holy but the place where their
bodies are dumped is known as the Tower of Silence and people do not dare to
enter the place because they know that they will face some unusual appearances.
It is a fact that people generally are not willing to enter a cemetery, so why
would a person enter a place where human bodies are eaten up.

The Well, Story Of The Undisturbed Lady
A simple question, can you live in a locality
where you know that a lady roams around but not only a simple lady, a lady who
is already dead. The question seems obnoxious but you should ask the same
question to the people who are living in the D’Souza Chawl Mahim. They will
answer that they are used to the ghostly apparition because the lady which
appear does not seem to hurt or cause any harm to the residents. The story
behind is about a woman who has lost her life in the well when she was trying
to get the water. It was a melancholy incident. The lady generally comes into
the vision when the sun goes home and the darkness strikes. The resident of the
Chawl are not afraid of her because they knew that she is not harmful in any
form and the reason might be delivered that her death was not caused by someone
else, she died accidently and may be that is why she do not harm any resident. It’s
spooky to know that people are living normally even though there is a member in
the society who is not of this world.

It is
strange that places which are haunted are famous even we know that people
generally do not consider to visit a haunted place. Every city has a story of
its own and so thus Mumbai. The only picture which comes when we hear the name
of Mumbai is the city of dreams and opportunities but here we have some places
or let’s calls it as some opportunities to meet and feel the unusual and
unexplainable apparition. The thing about the haunted places is that people get
more interested and curious about the place and they endeavor it and the result
is, we who are left behind get more interesting stories to be told.
Even
this is true that there are many made up stories but I dare you all, you all
will not find any made up stories above these places because these are not
newly made up haunted places, there are series of horrified incidents which are
in recorded form and these cannot be untrue. Haunted places are always been the
most interested topic for the people because these things like horrible sound
or cries, apparitions, spooky feelings, foul smell, etc are not explainable and
this things are new for us because we do not have any concrete proofs for this
things and this things will always be interesting for us until and unless we
have a conclusion.
We know that this thing are not scientifically
explainable and they disapprove of such things but we know that there are
things in this universe which cannot be explained in any scientific form but
their existence is true in every from and this formula works same for the
haunted places which I have listed above. These places might have been not in
such shape in the very beginning because these places are not meant for
haunting people, these places were set up just like normal buildings but
unfortunately they have ended in such situation.
If we look through a different lens, it’s
really sad for these places and for those people who are blended together
through the course of time and the most melancholy part is the souls are
trapped in this world. It is sad for them that even after death they are
chained down here. It might be horrible for them to be among us humans. We
think that they are the problems and we have always consider such things as
unholy and scary but have we ever thought about them, about their souls and
about their laments.
