Top haunted places in Delhi to visit in 2025
1. Agrasen ki Baoli, Connaught Place
A cinematic, century-old stepwell that’s become synonymous with urban myths: sudden chills, odd whispers and a strange pull when you descend the steps. Perfect for moody photos and short ghost walks; go before dusk and treat stories as folklore not fact.
2. Feroz Shah Kotla, Vikram Nagar
Famous for letters to djinns and late-night rituals; locals and visitors have long told tales of inexplicable voices and offerings left at the ruins. If you’re into lore-rich, spine-tingling history tours and "djinn” stories, this is the must-see on your Halloween itinerary.
3. Bhuli Bhatiyari ka Mahal, Central Ridge Reserve Forest
A secluded medieval hunting pavilion wrapped in forest and rumour; tales speak of a queen’s ghost and laughter after dusk. The site’s atmosphere is eerie and evocative, ideal for small-group exploration and recorded ghost-story sessions (respect conservation rules).
4. Jamali–Kamali, Mehrauli Archaeological Park
The mosque and tomb are not only historically significant but also frequently mentioned in accounts of odd sightings, laughter, and inexplicable noises; approachable during daylight and perfect for history-plus-horror seekers.
5. Sanjay Van, Delhi Cantonment
Classic urban-legend territory: the white-clad hitchhiker, strange sightings on late drives and dense woodland where rumours linger. If you favour roadside scares and folklore drives (daytime scouting recommended), add this to your route.
6. Lothian Cemetery, Kashmere Gate
Lothian Cemetery is one of Delhi’s oldest Christian burial grounds (established in 1808) and has earned a spine-tingling reputation. Locals and ghost-story aficionados claim you might sense the presence of restless spirits—some even say you can hear inexplicable laughter or sobbing in its silent lanes.
Whether you’re seeking spine-tingles or historical curiosity, these six spots offer a vivid Halloween 2025 adventure in Delhi. Mark 31 October 2025 in your diary. Stay with friends, respect local rules, and keep your phone charged. Share your favourite photo or ghost story afterwards—I’d love to hear which spot gave you the best scare!
