Behind the mist of Mussoorie lie hidden tales that have spooked its residents and visitors forgenerations.

In Ghost Stories from Mussoorie, Anmol Jain, its resident supernatural chronicler, explores the dark side of a town steeped in history and lore. This is a spine-tingling journey into the spirit world where supernatural beings become part of reality.

From the hitchhiking chudail seeking a ride from unsuspecting drivers, to spectral Paris descending upon Mussoorie’s Pari Tibba every night, each story comes with a ‘ghost-guarantee’ to send shivers down your spine. Encounter the restless spirits of a haunted house, a cobbler warned by a Yaksh to mend his ‘soul’, and a benevolent teacher’s ghost protecting the school children he once taught. Explore the dark past of the ‘Old Mines’—believed to be the most haunted place in India—and find out about the ‘extractors’ who extract oil from human bodies, both dead and alive!

These true accounts might just make you stop questioning whether ghosts are real.
