Shimla’s Haunted Chronicles: Unveiling the Terrifying Ghostly Side of the Queen of Hills – Part 2

6. Chudail Baudi (Witch’s Well) – Hitchhiker from Beyond

Perhaps the most spine-chilling tale of all is that of Chudail Baudi—a secluded well near the highway between Shimla and Chhota Shimla. Here, locals swear they’ve seen a woman in white materialize by the roadside, asking for a lift. No matter whether drivers stop or drive on, she is said to appear in their backseat, her presence accompanied by sudden drops in temperature and unexplained fear outlookindia.comshoutlo.comscoopwhoop.com+3hauntedplace.org+3traveltriangle.com+3.

Many attribute accidents on this road to her curse; others warn that she preys on helpless travelers—her chilling laughter heard in the stillness, long after she vanishes.

Key details:

• Location: Road to Chhota Shimla

• Haunting reports: hitchhiking woman in white, cold spots

• Legend: cursed spirit drawing souls to the well

7. Kingal Road – A Highway to the Unknown

In the small village of Kingal, a single winding road cuts through dark pine forests. Locals rarely drive it at night—but those who do report ghostly lights flickering ahead, shadowy figures darting off-road, and sudden whispers that seem to come from the mist itself .

Whether these phenomena are natural hallucinations influenced by darkness—or genuine supernatural activity—people choose caution. For many, driving Kingal Road after sunset is a test of bravery, or foolishness.

Key details:

• Location: Kingal village outskirts, Shimla district

• Haunting reports: unexplained lights, whispering voices

• Legend: unknown entities haunting the road

8. Bantony Castle – Soldier in the Shadows

Further afield lies Bantony Castle—another colonial relic overshadowed by tragedy. Named after Captain A. Gordon, rumored to have died inside its walls, the castle has earned its spectral reputation shimlamanalitravel.com+1hauntedplace.org+1. Guests claim to hear footsteps in empty hallways, see opulent rooms come alive with unseen movement, and occasionally glimpse a soldier in full uniform—possibly Gordon’s restless spirit.

Though less infamous than Shimla’s other haunted highlights, Bantony’s remote location and Gothic arches make it the perfect setting for ghost hunters seeking authentic chills.

9. Jakhoo & Tara Devi Temples – Sacred Grounds with Unspoken Whispers

Even Shimla’s peaceful temples hold darker tales. At Jakhoo Temple—popular for its Hanuman idol perched atop the hills—stories include seeing the specter of a British soldier lost during the Anglo-Gurkha War outlookindia.com+3hauntedplace.org+3shimlamanalitravel.com+3.

Tara Devi Temple, located in dense woods outside town, is reportedly cursed with sudden chills, flickering lights, and eerie whisperings. Though these temples are mostly serene during the day, locals warn that after dusk, lingering energies make them feel charged with unseen tension hauntedplace.org.
