Dhaka is widely considered haunted by locals! The city is filled with old ghost stories. These tales are usually

tied to tragic history or folklore about invisible spirits called Jinns. Many people believe Jinns hide in large trees,

along with abandoned buildings after dark.

Here are some of the most famous haunted spots in the city:

Lalbagh Fort:
Lalbagh Fort is widely considered one of the most haunted places in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Locals share many

spooky stories about the 17th-century Mughal fort. These tales often involve secret tunnels, a ghost on a

horse, and the spirit of a princess. The most famous legend features Pari Bibi. She was the beloved daughter of

the Mughal governor Shaista Khan. She died tragically in 1684 before the fort was finished. People believe that her

ghost wanders around the grounds. Locals say she appears on full moon nights to sing and dance. Another

spooky story involves the fort’s underground tunnels (Shurongo Path). These mazes were built to trap

invaders. During a revolt in 1857, many soldiers ran into the tunnels to hide and never came back. Legend says

the British even sent an elephant into the caves, but it never returned. The tunnels are now sealed. Finally,

visitors and guards have reported hearing the sounds of a horse and prayers inside the Quilla Mosque late at night.

Dhaka Airport Road:
Many drivers report seeing a shadow-like woman who suddenly appears in the middle of the road and vanishes.
The legend centers around a “Lady Ghost” who is often said to appear late at night in the middle of the road—

specifically the stretch between the Nikunjo area and the Biman office. According to local lore. Drivers have

reported seeing a woman dressed in a white saree suddenly appear directly in front of their vehicles. Many

drivers claim to have hit the brakes right before impact, only to find that the woman has instantly vanished.

These sudden appearances are blamed for frequent, unexplainable car accidents on that part of the highway.

It has been reported that full body apparitions have been seen on this road and the apparitions are from

drivers that died on this road. The apparitions look like they are lost.

Dhanmondi 27 Apartment:
Locals tell tales of a specific apartment where a woman took her own life. People say the apartment has

flickering lights and gives off a very creepy, bad feeling. Locals also say that at this apartment a portal opened

and “Shadow Demons” appeared. At first a Shadow Demon will look like a normal human being, but will look

shadowy. Then the shadow person will change its shape. The Shadow Demons will have hunched backs, long

claws, razor sharp teeth, open sores & lesions, hair that is unkempt & disheveled. Shadow Demons will scratch

you, push you or do something that will hurt you in some way. Shadow Demons are very evil. Some locals say

that the Shadow Demons will also choke you and try to smother you, so you can’t breathe.

Bahadur Shah Park:
Bahadur Shah Park in Old Dhaka is widely believed to be haunted. Visitors report strange voices, shadowy figures,

and a feeling of uneasiness. These spooky stories come from the park’s tragic past. During the 1857 Sepoy Revolt,

the British publicly hanged many Indian soldiers—called sepoys—from the trees here. The spirits of these

departed fighters are said to visit the park at night. Because of this, the area was historically

called Anta Ghar Maidan and was often avoided by locals after dark.

Dhaka University:
At Shahidullah Hall Pond, this old water body adjoining the Shahidullah Hall dorm is the center of the university’s

most famous ghost story. Because several students have accidentally drowned here over the years, local legends

claim that evil spirits or curses pull swimmers underwater, even those who know how to swim. Curzon Hall, this

iconic red-brick architecture is one of the oldest and grandest parts of the campus. Older students and staff

often tell stories of unsettling feelings, weird noises, and spooky encounters occurring inside its cavernous

depths after dark.
