For those who are unfamiliar with Bangalore
Bangalore is the capital and the largest city of Karnataka. It is located in southern India, on the Deccan plateau at a height of 3000 feet above the sea level. It is known for pleasant climate throughout the year. Also known as “Silicon valley of India” because of its role as the nation’s leading Information technology (IT) exported. A demographically diverse city, it is the second largest fastest growing major metropolis in India. Most importantly it was ranked the most liveable Indian city with a population of over a million under the ease of living Index 2020.
Kempegowda International Airport
When someone hears the word ‘haunting’, one would imagine an old, dilapidated house with an old car may be. No one would imagine, India’s third busiest airport by passenger traffic and total cargo handled in the country.
Kempagowda International airport is spread across 4,000 acres, and it is located about 30 Kms north of the city near the suburb of Devanhalli.
The airport became talk of the town when a pilot saw a white figure on the runway and asked airport staff to help her. Air staff claimed that they saw the women in other parts of the airport as well, cargo building, near one of the escalators and parking bay.
There was a frenzy among the employees about a ghost lurking in the airport premises, so much so that many refused to work night shift out of fear for their lives. The cargo wing of the airport as well as few taxi drivers also confirmed the sighting of a white figure wandering through the airport.
But every time someone tries to approach her, she vanishes.
A headless ghost near the parking bay and escalators has also been sighted. The report of these sightings could have been a hoax to many, but the infrared camera at the airport has captured the image of the spirit. Infrared rays detected the presence of some negative energy.
Hoax or not, these stories definitely add an eerie vibe to the bustling airport.
Spooky Silicon City
Bengaluru surely has some impressive credentials. But gardencity is guarding few dark secrets. Bengaluru has its fair share of scary places that include tales of sprits, ghosts and paranormal activity. For example: ‘naale baa’ which means ‘come tomorrow’ in kannada.
Bollywood’s horror-comedy ‘stree’ is based on this urban myth. If legends are to be believed in 1990’s, a witch used to roam the streets of the city hunting for her prey. The witch would knock the doors at night, and try to lure men by calling them out in voices similar to that of women they loved mother, sister and wife. So the locals found out a way to get rid of the witch, they started writing ‘naale baa’ on doors to ward off the evil spirit.
Other alleged haunted places in bengaluru are Victoria hospital, kalpalli cemetery, Terra vera, banyan tree in Tiptur and national highway four.
I wish you all the best if you are travelling through Bangalore airport at night 😛 😀
