12 Haunted and Mysterious Villages of India That Defy Science

1. Kuldhara – The Village Swallowed by a Curse

Two hundred years ago, Kuldhara in Rajasthan was a prosperous village of Paliwal Brahmins. Legend says a cruel minister, Salim Singh, set his eyes on a village girl. To protect their honor, the villagers fled overnight — but not before cursing the land so no one could ever live there again.
Even today, after sunset, Kuldhara lies silent and empty — said to echo with the whispers of its lost people.
