Bhangarh Fort, a most haunted fory

Why Bhangarh Fort/Kila is rumoured to be haunted and what are the folklores behind this "HAUNTED FORT" ?

There is a belief about Bhangarh that the place is haunted and no one can dare to go there after sunset. Several ghost stories are behind the mysteries of the Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan.Out of the numerous stories about bhangarh fort one that is most prevalent is that the Bhangarh city was build by King Madho Singh. For this city, the Emperor got approval by ascetic Guru Balu Nath who meditated at this place. The approval was given on the condition that theshadow of emperor's palace would never touch him at his prohibited retreat. If shadow touched over his place, the city would turn into ruins. The emperor started his fort construction with his money and strength. The Bhangarh fort was constructed with several stories and finallyshadowed the prohibited retreat of Guru Balu Nath. 
As per psychic power of Saint, the entire town was destroyed and ever since any construction around the crushed location orpalace faces collapse. The samadhi of Guru Balu Nath is still there where he was buried. 

The one other myth is as follows: 


Ratnavati was the princess of Bhangarh and was famed for her stately beauty all over her own kingdom and the neighboring states. By the time the princess turned 18 years old,she started getting matrimonial offers from diffrent states. There was a tantrik called Singhia, who was completely smitten by her but knew that the his match was impossible with the princess. But Singhia(a tantrik) under the spell of glorious beauty of The Princess decided to decoy the princesswith his magical powers (jadu). One day Singhia saw the princess's maid in the market. So he thought, he'll marry the princess by using black magic on the oilthat the maid was purchasing so that upon touching it, the princess would surrender herself to magician. However, the princess saw the Sanghia Tantrik trick that he was enchanting the oil. So the princess poured the oil on to the ground. The oil on groundturned into a rock and rolled towards the magician and crushed him ( Singhia ). Before dying, the magician cursed the Bhangarh city to death and said there will be no more rebirths. After this incident, the curse showed its results in a the battle between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh, where Ratnavati was assassinated. However, some local (folk) stories tell that the princess has taken a rebirth somewhere else and the bhangarh fort is waiting for her return and end the sadistic curse. According to the folk tales, Bhangarh fort is the dwelling of ghosts and that is why entry isprohibited for tourists or visitors in the fort before sunrise and after sunset.

Real Haunted stories -Tourist Experiences

1. Story told by Masoom Bhargav: I am from Alwar and Bhangarh is in the municipality of Alwar district. Since childhood I have heard various stories about Bhangarh but I would like to quote one. This story was told by my father. We went there when I was 9 years old so I don't remember much but according to my father when our family was walking near the fort of Bhangarh we saw a man who was talking to himself. Being a child I wanted to ask him who he was talking to but my father resisted. While coming back we saw that man again. He was walking by my side. He was telling us the real story behind Bhangarh. 
My father tried to get rid of him but he was desperate to tell us the story. He was old therefore he was walking slowly. My father carried me and tried to walk fast to get rid of him. (You must be thinking how cruel we were because we didn't try to help that old person but I would like to mention that we gave him food on the first meeting but later on some local people warned us.) My father's plan worked and we were far ahead of him but the strangest thing that happened was when we looked back to see whether he was following us or not he disappeared... You must be thinking I am joking but the people behind us told us there was nobody following us. 
NO OLD MAN BEHIND US!! 
MY FATHER WAS CONFUSED. 

2. It really happend with me and my frnds in bhangarh at night.After 12 my friends and i decided to go Bhangarh and stay inside the fort in night. Anyway I am from Jaipur and doing 2nd year. So around 7pm we reached there (little before sunset) and around 8.30pm we were in the fort and seriously the location, atmosphere, air everything was very scary, around 12.30am we all decided to leave fort. That time we all were around 20-21 people (friends and some other villagers) so just after main gate all my friends and those people heard female shouting voice from fort, but me and my two friends didn't hear that sound. So we all start running after some distance we stopped and discussing it then suddenly a wall like thing fell in front of us so we again started running then finally we crossed final gate. So guys there is something wrong in this fort...... (story was taken from a blog) 
There are so much horrifying incidents related to this haunted fort.... SOME SAID HE WAS A GHOST BUT I DON'T THINK SO. Neither I, nor my father know where he went. We went back to the place where we first met him. He was not there...Strange but true...
