     Fig: South Park Cemetery

No doubt Cemetery as a haunted place has become a cliché but the south park cemetery is famous for its own unique reason. Yes, the place is haunted and the unique thing which I was talking about it is that you will not be able to identify the person as human or spirit. You will be talking to someone in the cemetery but somewhere from the distance a man will be taking you as a crazy person because he would not be able to see the person you are talking to because you are talking to a spirit. Eyewitness has confirmed that they have seen figure appearing during early morning and late evenings. Now the place is not as eerie as before because of the rising buildings and luxury but the effect of this cemetery is very strong, the buildings which has windows facing the cemetery remains closed 24*7 because of the sounds of boot steps that seems like taking rounds of the cemetery. So if you are eager to see some paranormal figure, this place is to pick for.

#1. The Restless Sound Of Col. Simpson

 Fig: Writers Building

The present secretariat building was the building for the junior clerks during the colonial era and that is why the building was famous as the writer’s block not because for some literature association. Now the main history with this building is, this is the same building where the Captain Simpson was shot dead by the three revolutionaries Benoy, Badal and Dinesh in the fifth floor. The hawkers have heard cries during the early mornings and at nights and the sound of boots. They believe that the soul of Captain has never left the place and he is still as alive as before because the unusual sounds during the unusual hours are always predictable in this building. The officials always prefer to leave the premises before the nightfall as they do not want to experience any inexplicable events.

You must have surely notice here that, most of the places in Kolkata are somewhere or the other associated with the colonial period. Kolkata was one of the main centers of the Britishers during their rule and that is why Kolkata has a rich history with the colonials. Haunted places are considered to be those places which are old and which has faced some gruesome events or places which has remained closed for many decades because lost spirits often end up in these unoccupied places. And in Kolkata all the grand places or buildings were the results of the colonial rule and there is no doubt that we will find their remains.

Kolkata is such a busy and crowed place to describe but even in this stuffed city the remains of the colonial rulers are clearly visible but now they are not here to take over the place again but they are trapped here for any other reason but the truth is they are still here even after they have left our nation. The sounds of boots in most of the haunted places signifies their dignity of walking in their prestige even they have left their bodies. The most amazing thing is, the haunted places in Kolkata are almost occupied either by the government or by public, I mean all this haunted places are visited by people all the time even they know the fact that they might end up with something inexplicable. The reason may be because these trapped souls are not here to hurt the people, may be they are trapped here and they cannot just leave the place because in their life time the place might have such a great attachment to them that even after their miserable death they are just not able to leave this world.

Kolkata just do not have a rich collection of the colonial architecture but even the souls which have taken Kolkata as their permanent address. There is no explanation of why they are still here and why they have not left this place as their whole generation has already been shifted away, now this is a silly question to ask but nothing is silly and unordinary when it is related to ghosts or something as such. So it is not a silly thing, if you are wondering why the souls of those colonials are still considering Kolkata as their address.
