Top 5 Spookiest Places in Hyderabad

Are you Brave Enough to venture into the woods? 

IF YES, PROCEED AHEAD WITH CAUTION! 

Things2do has compiled a list of haunted places in Hyderabad that locals are to date scared of visiting after sunset. These Spooky places should only be ventured into if you think you can handle them! 

1Kundanbagh Haunted House

This location has one of the spookiest legends associated with it; it is known as “the haunted mansion of Kundanbagh.”  According to the legend, a thief entered the home intending to rob the owners, but upon doing so, he discovered three dead women inside. The residents were a woman and her two daughters. He became distraught and called the police to report it. The woman had been dead for about six months, according to an additional inquiry. Despite this, neither the neighbours nor the locals made any reports or questions about them. There has been speculation that these women performed strange rituals every night. The three would wander around the home while lighting candles. In addition, they would hang bottles of what appeared to be blood from the verandah. The mother’s antics frequently turned people away. As a result, they received very little interaction.

Even today, young people with a sense of adventure try to break in and take pictures inside this decaying cottage. The neighbours said that this trio engaged in black magic, as they would frequently be seen carrying candles while walking around the house in black robes.

According to other tales, the neighbours, who insisted they occasionally saw the three on the balcony, were shocked to learn that they had passed away months earlier. We don’t know how much of it is real and how much is just a rumour. But we can tell you that this mansion has been included among India’s most haunted locations ever since the story surfaced. Would you risk coming here?

2Dedh Lakh Ghar

Would you live in a Haunted House? This Dedh Lakh ka ghar has the scariest history, which will leave shivers down your spine. 

The Dedh Lakh Ghar is located near Secunderabad. Around 40 years back, a man named Laxman was said to reside with his wife and children and was one of the richest people living in the area. He had started the construction of a completed building with an estimated cost of 1.5 lakhs, which was considered a huge amount at the time, hence the name, dedh lakh ghar. 

After the construction was completed, the family decided to perform a few rituals before stepping inside the house. It is said that just before stepping into the house, his wife suffered a heart attack and succumbed to it. He suspected a spooky aura and decided to never step into it again. The house was given on lease to a student who was later found dead by committing suicide. Every family who resided have said to have faced severe losses like deaths, suicides and permanent mental illnesses. Locals have also claimed to have heard strange noises emanating from the house, especially of a woman crying.

3Khairatabad Science College

In the scare of horror stories, add the Khairatabad Science College to it, this once full of life building seems to be cursed since the institution broke down. If we were to tell you, that there were dead bodies inside the building, would you still go in? 

Just near the Khairtabad overpass, there is a dilapidated Tarapuri Building that served as a scientific institution in the past. The facility was abandoned as it deteriorated, but the bodies in the biology labs were not properly disposed of. Walking skeletons, sparks, and unsettling noises are frequently seen by people passing by at night. The location was guarded by a government employee who inexplicably passed away, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

4Rajiv Gandhi International Airport

Have you ever thought if an entire airport that could be haunted? 

The Rajiv Gandhi Airport, also known as Shamshabad Airport, has long been the focus of ferocious debates and paranormal lore. There have long been rumours going around the neighbourhood about staff discovering a man with a rotating head in the airport’s inquiry room or a pilot stopping the jet on the runway just before departure because he saw a woman standing in a white sari in front of him.

As a result of these alleged occurrences and comparisons, Shamshabad Airport has become one of Hyderabad’s most eerie locations and a popular destination for paranormal investigators and paranormal activists. It’s also been speculated that a number of deceased bodies are buried beneath the airport. That certainly seems strange.

5Ravindra Nagar

In 2012, a number of suicides in Ravindranagar added the neighbourhood to the list of Hyderabad’s haunted locations. This terror was generated with this incident, where Residents started all-night vigils to guard their homes after attributing the suicides to the existence of a ghost. In the vicinity, about six families quickly left their homes after fleeing the area out of terror. 

It is said that when one enters Ravindra Nagar in Sitaphalmandi, especially after 6 PM, a spooky feeling travels up one’s spine. The houses have Jai Sri Ram painted crimson on the walls and doors, and the streets appear vacant. Some of the doors appear to have been abandoned hastily because they are locked while the lights are still on.

Would you want to take a walk in Ravindra Nagar? 

The list of eerie experiences keeps increasing, and so do the speculations. There is no scientific reason, or any entities that can tell the real truth about them!
