India’s SCARIEST roads to drive after dark

Paranormal activities and their stories both are extremely popular everywhere in the world. Some believe in them and some don’t. Whereas there are some locals who have experienced these events first hand. However, practical people seem to believe that it could be situational, or the sound of the wind or the shadows of the trees and our curious minds take us elsewhere believing in spirits and ghosts. It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, but we’ve curated a list of the 10 scariest roads known in India.

Delhi Cantonment

Delhi Cantonment area is a part of the Old Delhi side and is covered with lush green thick trees all around. It may seem like heaven as there’s so much greenery and purer air to breathe. The stories suggest that a lady dressed in white has been often spotted roaming around in the area. This lady in question is known to ask for a lift from the passerby and in case the vehicle doesn’t stop, she starts to chase the car, almost matching the speed. She is known to sometimes enter the car as well. It is also said that the lady is the spirit of a woman who died several years ago in the same area from a fatal accident.
