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.”
