India, Rajasthan (folk tale)

The Curse of Bhangarh Fort

Folklore — not a documented case

This abandoned fort in India's Rajasthan state is known for a tale claiming it fell into ruin as the result of a sorcerer's curse. The Archaeological Survey of India has officially prohibited entry to the fort after sunset for safety reasons — a measure that has only reinforced the fort's reputation as one of the most haunted places.

Bhangarh Fort, located at the foot of the Aravalli hills in India's Rajasthan state, is a large settlement complex built in the 17th century.
