Paranormal Activities in Kolkata

NATIONAL LIBRARY

The Mysterious National Library

Located at an eerie place, the National Library is one place which has a mysterious atmosphere surrounding it. It lies between the Alipore Zoo and the Alipore Jail. The vast expanse of the library with the woods may give you a reminiscence   of the woods in any Dracula movie. The national library has a history to support the strange experiences of some of the visitors.

The different caretakers have been heard saying that strange sounds of footsteps could be heard after dark. An aged man testifies that it is only of the wife of the former Lieutenant Governor of Bengal. Many students have also experienced such sounds following them closely on their way back after their tryst with the books. One of the students recalls a horrific glare through the selves inside the library hall. This accompanied by several strange incidents make the National Library one of the most haunted places in the city of Kolkata.



WIPRO KOLKATA

The Haunted IT Sector Built at Graveyard sites


For all those aspiring ITians its going to adventure to work at the Wipro Kolkata Centre. To start off with, the place was a swamp until about only a decade ago when the West Bengal Government planned an IT sector in Salt Lake. Residents in the close by  areas of Saltlake and Rajarhat have explained the reason for the strange experiences felt at  Wipro Kolkata. Priya, a resident at Sector 3 Saltlake explains that the plot where Wipro Kolkata stands was a graveyard and the police often used the surroundings to encounter criminals. There have been more testimonials of the strange nature of the surroundings where the complex stands. Employees are often reluctant to go alone to the washroom after strange incidents had been reported.

Employees of the IT giant have often complained about the strange sightings, specifically 3rd Floor of Tower 3. New joinings are advised not to hover around the area. But some of the times the floor remains shut.




William Shaheb er Shada Ghora (Mr. William’s White Horse)

Encounter the Pearl


 If you take frequent trips around the Royal Calcutta Turf Club of the Race course as it is popularly known, stop by and you could see a white fog galloping towards you. Well its not a fog as legend has it that it is the spirit of Pearl, one of the race horses shot by its master after she was unable to win races. People on vehicle have often confirmed the strange sight around the adjacent roads. One of the eye-witnesses remembers how in an April night he saw a fog passing the middle of the road. He looked on only to see it to get transformed to a majestic pristine white horse. Workers of the RCTC have pinned down the sights to the White Pearl which scorched the tracks in its glory days. One of the workers says, “A jockey named William had shot his horse in 1931 after she was unable to win him any races.”

  2. I have been visiting National Library for quite sometime and I have not found anything that would suggest the existence of a paranormal being there. I am an amateur ghost hunter and i tried everything in my knowledge in national library but none of the readings suggest anything. Though I kept my investigation mostly around the main building (the one shown in the picture) because most of the stories are surrounding that building itself. However since You cannot stay in for the night in the Library it would be wrong to pass a verdict. A proper investigation must be carried out, it would be fun.

  4. This story is of 4 years ago when I was in school...

    I agree with the 2nd article regarding white horse... I have many times passed beside the race course late at night most probably arount 0200 hrs i have many times heard voices of a horse.. and one day i went inside to have a look at the horse and i couldn't found anything inside... Then i turned my back then again i heard the voice... that time it was more prominent....but as i turned to see it... there was nothing.... I searched all through the race course but i couldn't fing a single horse.. then i left the place....
    Today also I used to think in my lone time that what was it actually... I never tried again to investigate the matter... because i believe that few things in life should be kept secret...

  11. I am in Wipro Salt Lake in the same 3rd floor of Tower 3. I work mostly in night shifts. I had discussed this matter with all my coleagues and seniors who have working here for years now. No one has seen any such incidents and even our security gaurds have said that they have seen nothing such incidents and it is merely a rumour buzzing around... Perhaps all articles are just myths srpeading rumours only to catch attention for their respective websites.

  12. Management professional, completed 2years regular MBA & currently pursuing CA/CS. I have worked with a few MNC's too additionally I take care of our family business. And yes, I completed my Grads with Mathematics Honours, & pure science. I will share one bizarre incidents with you all.

    This incident took place around 2005-2007, I don't remember exact year. The fact is my uncle died during this interval( I don't remember the year right away). He was a CA, spent his life mostly in Zambia. He died due to a massive heart attack & his treatment was going in Mumbai. The incident is like this, post his death, his body was brought in Kolkata. We all (means our family & other relatives), visited the house, we saw the corpse & even I was there in cemetery during his final rituals was going on. I am from a Brahmin family, and a ritual needs to be carried after 14days from death, so as to provide peace of soul. We call is "sraddha or anthistikriya".

  13. Now, what I am going to share, today , is first time I am sharing & I haven't shared this with anyone till date. All this happened during, these 14 days.

    When the strange incident took place, I was a student of 12th std. The house in which we stay is a 2 floors building. My mother was watching TV in 2nd floor & I was studying in ground floor. No one at that time preferred to use that room because recently paint had been done & my parents decided that they will give our ground floor to someone at rent. The room in which I was studying was properly lighted by a tube, all doors & windows was closed, a tube light was glowing, there was a bed & I was laying on it. I use to keep it close, because unlike others, I prefer to study sincerely. I remember, I was studying biology & if I am not making mistake then cells & genetics was the chapter.

    I don't know why all of a sudden, I decided to think about my late uncle, that evening around 7-8pm. In my memory, I started calling the soul of my uncle. I was doing this repeatedly for say around 10-25minutes. All alone in that closed room. Since my exam was near, and all these was going on, so I had started to smoke cigarette , since that a few months back before this incident. So along with cigarette , an electronic lighter was there.

    The feature of the lighter was, a small lights (red & blue colour) was fitted & a music was there. When ever, someone use to light up fire, the light use to glow & music used to be played. And if we don't light up fire, then neither the lights & nor the music used to be played.

    Anyway, that day, when I was calling the sprit of my uncle & thinking about him in my memory, after 30minutes, I felt presence of someone in the room. Its like, someone was watching me. Then all of a sudden the small lights & music so set in lighter, automatically started to play. This sequence was happening again & again. Without any explanation. Finally I got scared, and left the room keeping doors opened.

  14. Trust me , my friend I used that lighter for 3-4years. Even when I joined a MNC, the lighter was there with me. But what happened that day, with that lighter, it never happened neither before the day nor after that day. And another amazing fact is my late uncle was a chain smoker, he was very luxurious in nature.

    So, this small incidents that happened with me, is still a bizarre. Even today, if I pass graveyard or crematory , sometimes not always I don't know why I feel presence of someone, though, trust me I have never seen a ghost or sprit. Sometimes, while preparing MIS, Audit report or studying even these days, I don't know why I feel suddenly that someone speaking something near my ears, very faintly. Thought I am unable to heard them, as while preparing a MIS or audit report or tax filing, we have to keep 100% concentration on the subject, but still felt a faint blow of air, for a few seconds to minutes continuously, near my ear. Some faint words.

    I am not mad, neither psychological patient nor telling lie, rather first time I am saying the truth to you all. But what to do, a feeling is a feeling. I have never shared this with anyone, as if someone like me, a student of science during Graduation or a management professional or a student of CA/CS or boss for many say this publicly, people will lough. Prestige issue. But this are all true. I have consoled my self, by making me realized that all forces of nature are neither explored nor studied in details, so its better to be away from supernatural things, rather to focus on career & profession.

  18. On 2nd November,2014 something strange happened to us when we went to the tower 4 of the Wipro campus,Kolkata to sleep on the 10th floor at night.We were 6 friends Rahul,Deepak,Basam,Zico,Sudipto and me.Due to the strike on the next day,we were told to stay on the Wipro campus for a night as there was no cab pick up on the next bandh day.So we decided to sleep on the 10th floor of the tower 4,which is a lodge.
    After having a lot of fun in the night with my guitar at around 02:45am we decided to go to bed to sleep so that we could be refreshed for the next day's shift.So we went to the 4th tower which is in the east end of the campus,the tall building painted maroon and peach.
    As we entered the ground floor there was a chill in the air because of the AC that had a reduced temperature and we felt cold as we continuously kept on pressing the lift button but it denied the command and was not coming down.Finally,after 5 mins it arrived and we got into the lift with a jolly mood,ready to go to bed on the 10th floor.But as we reached the 3rd floor the lift stopped and the door opened and we could see the dark alley infront of us.We kept on pressing the button for the 10th floor but it was of no use,as the fan in the lift had also stopped.
    We thought that the lift had stopped working,this is a common scenario in our campus,we are familiar with it.So we decided to take the stairs and stepped out of the lift and it was 7 floors that we have to climb to reach our spot but our friend Basam needed to go to the washroom and we decided to give him company.
    When walking through the long corridor we could look at either side of the empty bay with all the computers,the desks and the pictures of different employees pinned to their desks but amongst them one picture of a mother with two children on either sides caught our attention,as it was a black and white image and the look on thier faces was furious,the look in their eyes were so deep as if digging through our souls and there was a pair of purple converse shoes lying on top of the shelf.Who could have left those shoes there,we did not have any idea.
    As we reached the washroom we saw a notice on its door that no one was allowed inside after 10:00pm,we could not understand why.But Basam had to go,so we stood outside laughing and joking.After two mins he came out of the washroom and asked us who went in the toilet,as he was dazzled to see us all waiting for him outside the washroom.He told that someone went inside the toilet and he thought that it may be Rahul or Zico and he is still inside,so we went inside and tried to open the door but it was jammed after we applies force it finally opened and saw no one was inside.So we thought it might be his hallucination.And we decided to go back.While returning we looked at the bay and saw the picture of that woman with her child was not there and the shoes were also missing and the bay was locked from the outside.We went into the lift and reached the 10th floor and went to bed.
    Till date none of us mention about that day and we try to forget it but we don't go to tower no. 4 anymore.

  19. Kolkata is known for having some of most haunted places in Inida. However, one should definitely explore various places to visit in Kolkata as celebratory air in Kolkata never diminishes with its excitingly colourful festivals.

  20. It depends..give it a try..you may be able to be at the recieving end in someway or the other.But not always with the tangible experiences..as someone may find it through other ways..I remembered the day..i visited the Humayun's tomb in Delhi..As I walked down the main chamber i was flooded with the signs of negative emotions like depression, sadness, restlessness etc.I walked away after a while.

  21. I dont know whether the national library is haunted or not... so to find out the true story I and my friend went there about a week ago.. we knew the reason y it was haunted because many articles are there over the internet which gives detailed description about the national library being haunted and creepy

    we found nothing creepy there but the main building of national library surely involves a breath-taking story coz its very silent ..after asking out the guards that y is it closed they replied that its closed on sunday ... but the most strange thing we noticed when we peep into the window of that main hall .... and suddenly a question arised in my mind that if it would have remained open other days there must b tubelights within the hall but there was not a single one.... how are they going to work without lights,

    secondly, there is a weird statue far away from it with its head buried under a small with its mouth open... we thought it must b used as fountain or dust bin but the there was no hole in it .. it was just opened...
