After a terrible and deadly accident on the ferry crossing in Aldona, they decided to build the Calvim Bridge to connect to the mainland. But after the bridge was built, the reports about the place being haunted started to come in. 

Stretching over to the village of Aldona, Goa, the Calvim Bridge stands as a somber reminder of a tragic incident that continues to haunt the local community. In February 2012, an unexpected calamity struck this otherwise peaceful locale, leading to the death of seven individuals, including four young students. 

Before the bridge was built, there was a ferry crossing from Aldona-Calvim. A mini-bus on the Aldona side with six or seven passengers who died, three or four of them being school girls on their way home to their island.

The exact details of the incident remain shrouded in sorrow and confusion, but the loss of life was profound and deeply felt by the community. 

After this, the locals made a huge effort to get the bridge built and a decade after asking for it and many deaths later, they did. But according to local lore, the newly built bridge is anything but peaceful.

The Haunting by the Calvim Bridge

As night falls and the dark hours envelop the village, those who dare to venture near the Calvim Bridge report experiencing a range of unsettling sensations and supernatural occurrences at night. 

One of the most commonly reported phenomena at Calvim Bridge is the eerie sound of voices carried on the wind of the drowned passengers. These sounds often appear to come from the water below or from the bridge itself, adding to the unsettling ambiance. The voices are sometimes accompanied by the chilling sensation of being watched, an invisible presence lingering in the shadows.

Another frequently recounted experience is the sighting of ghostly apparitions near the bridge. Some have reported seeing shadowy figures that resemble young students. These apparitions are often seen near the spot where the tragedy occurred, their ethereal presence a stark reminder of the lives cut short.

The Haunting Remembrance

Over the years there have been several instances of light missing on the bridge, creating a dangerous atmosphere and potential accidents. It has also become a popular place for younger people to party and drink, further fueled the haunted rumors that lingers over the bridge. 

Although the bridge has gotten a lot of attention in the later years because of its rumor as a haunted place, the locals still remember the horrible accident as a terrible tragedy, still lingering every time they pass over the bridge.

Said to be only a temporary bridge, the Jakni Bandh Bridge in Goa claimed the life of a bus loaded with young children. According to local lore, you can still hear their dying screams echoing off the road at night. 

Between the villages of Navelim and Drampur lies Jakni Bandh Bridge shrouded in darkness—a bridge built as a temporary measure. How temporary though is uncertain as it has been the only bridge there for decades. 

Known as Jakni Bandh, this seemingly innocuous structure conceals a chilling secret, one that continues to haunt the hearts and minds of those who dare to tread its path.

Although the narrow path has gone through modernization, it is still remembered for its pasts and how it costs countless lives throughout the years. The most well known story and victims being the school bus filled with children that never returned home. 

The Horrible Accident on the Bridge

Jakni Bandh, initially intended as a simple connector between two communities, has become synonymous with tragedy and terror. Its traumatic past is rooted in a fateful accident in 1979 that forever altered the fabric of reality in its vicinity. 

It was on a seemingly ordinary day that a mini-bus bus, teeming with children, met its untimely demise at the hands of fate, or as some blame it, the driver’s fault. What really happened that day we will never know, as none of them lived to tell. 

The driver lost control of the bus in any case, toppling over the bridge’s edge, the bus plummeted into the abyss below, claiming the lives of all aboard in a horrifying instant. The locals rushed to the scene to try to help, but it was too late.

The Haunted Jakni Bandh Bridge

Since that fateful day, Jakni Bandh has become a hotbed of paranormal activity, with reports of inexplicable phenomena flooding in from all corners that are said to happen after sunset.

Passersby speak of hearing the anguished cries and blood-curdling screams of children through the night air, their voices a haunting reminder of the tragedy that befell them. But when people try to track down where the wailing of the children comes from, there is no one there.

The people reporting of paranormal activity also claim to have seen apparition of what looks like children running around in the area, long after bedtime. This cumulates especially to night time or certain nights of the year, although it is hard to find out what days the locals claim this is. 

The Other Ghosts Haunting the Jakni Bandh Bridge

In addition to the sound and sighing of ghostly children running around, the place around the Jakni Bandh Bridge is also said to be haunted by a woman as well.

Whether or not she also was a victim to the road and bridges narrowness, is unknown. But there have been many accidents throughout the years, and a wandering woman haunting the road is not an uncommon thing along the Indian roads. Like with the case of: The Ghost of the Lady in White Sari of Delhi Cantt, The Haunting of MG Road and the Mystery of the White-Sari Lady and Ghostly Shadows by Dwarka Sector 9 Metro Station and the Haunted Peepal Tree.

The Future of Jakni Bandh Bridge

In the heart of Goa’s lush countryside, Jakni Bandh stands as a silent sentinel, its secrets buried deep within the recesses of memory and where school children still sometimes choose minibus drivers over bigger ones because of their convenience. 

And although the road has gone through developments since then, and that it is after all said to be just a temporary thing, the Jakni Bandh Bridge still remains a dangerous place to venture, especially after dark if we are to believe the legends.

After a terrible flooding accident on the Mang Gui Kiu Bridge in Hong Kong, there have been several reports about drivers and passerby seeing ashen faced ghost children waving at them, hoping that someone will finally get them out from the place

In Tsung Tsai Yuen (松仔園) in the Tai Po district in Hong Kong there is a bridge that drivers claim to be haunted. Ever since the 1950s have the Mang Gui Kiu Bridge (猛鬼橋) Nearby there is a monument that can perhaps shed some light at just who it can be haunting this bridge.

Tsung Tsai Yuen is still a popular place to have an outdoor picnic because of the beautiful scenery and the long river below. The Mang Gui Kiu Bridge was originally called the Hung Shui Kiu, meaning Bridge of Flooding because of being flooded because of rain frequently. This is what led to the tragedy on that day 1955 when 28 children died. 

The Flooding Accident in 1955

On 28th of August in 1955 there was a group of teachers from the St. James’ Settlement that were driving through with children from the Tai Po Rural Orphanage. The teachers and students were on a week-long trip and were having a final picnic before returning home. 

At 13:30 in the afternoon they got caught in heavy rain and they all ran to take shelter under the Mang Gui Kiu Bridge. But it rained too hard and the bridge was flooded and a sudden landslide washed them away. There were only a few survivors, but it is said that many of them remained as ghosts, haunting the bridge to this day. 

The Ashen Faced Children Ghost by Mang Gui Kiu Bridge

They claim to have seen ashen-faced children waving in the dark at passing cars at night, running over the nearby roads.

There are even some locals that have claimed to have seen their children both holding hands and playing with just air at times, almost like there are some ghostly children there with them.  

Taxi and bus drivers have also said that they have experienced passengers that get into their vehicles only to vanish into thin air as soon as they turn on the engine and lights. 

The Ghost Passenger

One of these stories was aout one of the bus drivers that drove the route passed Mang Gui Kiu Bridge with an empty bus when he saw a woman. She got onboard, but the driver noticed that there was only a crumpled piece of chinese ghost money in the cashbox, not real money for the living. 

He shouted back at the pale woman that had just stepped onto his ride, but when he turned there was no one there. He thought to himself that it had to be a ghost and kept on driving to not offend the spirit and perhaps even help her. 

When approaching the next stop he saw that the signal light was on and he pulled into the stop and opened the door, even though no passengers stepping on or off was in sight. 

Then he suddenly hears a voice saying Thank You. 

The Ghosts of Marching Soldiers

This is not the only haunted tale from this area though. It is said that the nearby village, the Dan Kwai Village was an alleged execution place during the Second Sino-Japanese War from 1937-1945, primarily a conflict between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. 

It is said that the blood of the executed were washed into the water under the Mang Gui Kiu Bridge, coloring it red. 

Years later it was reported about the sound of soldiers marching from the locals and seeing their ghosts at midnight.

The Disappearance of the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill in Beijing

In China they tell about an urban legend about the disappearance of Bus 330 or the last bus to Fragrant Hills that involves both a ghost story as well as a murder mystery. 

One of the most famed urban legends from China is the mysterious story about the Bus 330 that disappeared and the close call one of the passengers had to become one of the victims of something supernatural if we are to believe the legend. 

Read More: Check out all our collection of ghost stories from China

So what really happened inside of the mysterious Bus 330 to Fragrant Hill on this cold November night in 1995 on the roads in Beijing, and how much of the retold story is true?

The Last Bus to Fragrant Hills

In 1995 the last bus of No. 330, or 375 in some variations, departed from the main station of Yuanmingyuan at 10 o’clock on November 14th to Fragrant Hill in Beijing. In this legend and ghost story there was a young couple, a young man and an old woman in addition to the driver and the conductor involved.

At first it was just another late night bus in the dark, but it soon started to take a dark turn. After a few stops the bus picked up two passengers on the way back to the terminal and this is when it all changed. 

The men were running after the bus, trying to wave it down in the cold November night. Although some passengers protested as they just wanted to get home, the bus driver stopped and opened the doors for the two men with a person between them, propped up that looked passed out drunk. 

The passed out man was not the strangest thing about them as the two men were wearing Qing Dynasty costumes and although a little peculiar attire, no one gave them too much attention as they thought they might have been filming something and the bus ride continued in peace through the dark night with only a few dimly lit street lights on the close to empty road. 

The Legless Ghosts

The driver and the conductor were laughing and talking together and the young couple got off the bus three or four stops later on their way to Fragrant Hill in this smoggy Beijing Night. 

Only the old woman watched the two men closely and suddenly got up and claimed that the young man had stolen her wallet, yelling at him and telling him they needed to head to the nearest police station to settle the matter. 

Two passengers, a young man and an old woman disagreed about the wallet, and the old lady insisted they get off the bus that was making its way through Beijing. When they were safely off the bus, she told the young man, annoyed for getting off at the wrong bus stop, that the two strange passengers on the bus actually turned out to be ghosts from the Qing Dynasty. 

She had noticed that the two men had no legs at all and she had made the story about the wallet up to get him to get off the bus with her. Who knows, the ghosts could very well be dangerous.

The Death and Disappearance of the Bus

The Last Bus to Fragrant Hill never made it back to the terminal, and when questioned by the police, the young man and old lady told them about the ghost passengers. It seemed to have simply disappeared. No one believed them, but the ending of the story seemed to be the most mysterious about it all. 

The Last Bus to Fragrant Hill: Did this ghost story start to be told in the 90s because of a trend or did it actually happen in the 90s. Did it happen at all?

The Last Bus to Fragrant Hill was found three days later in the Miyun Reservoir, over 100 kilometers from Xiangshan and its original route. According to the legend the bus was already rusted like it had been there for years, not just a couple of days and then there were three bloody murdered bodies found inside of it, already starting to decompose. 

The Truth of the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill Disappearance

Was this story really a sensation in 1995 as the legend of the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill wanted it to be, and do the details really hold up ?

The case of the the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill that went missing has today been solved according to many people, and there were no ghosts, the bus wasn’t rusted and the bodies were decomposed as it time had moved quicker than the rest of the world. But they were indeed dead according to this version as this was a straight up murder case, not a ghost story. 

The two passengers boarded the bus with the person between them already dead and covered up the blood with wine and pretended to be drunk rather than dead. They killed both the driver as well as the conductor and drove the bus to a remote place to hide it and got away with the crime. 

So could this be it? Could the incident of the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill be a murder case more than a ghost story? There are however no found written records about a crime case like this either from this time and place and the story lives on as an urban legend, even without the supernatural elements to it. 

The Urban Legend Evolves to Modern Times

There has also been a shift in the bus number in recent years, and it looks like the newer generation often credit the bus number as 375, not 330 anymore. Recent retellings of the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill also add on newer technology like that it was a phone that was stolen, and puts more focus on surveillance cameras that were not as widespread in the 90s. 

The fact it has such a specific date, makes the story much more believable at once, but when looking closer it is also easier to see there really wasn’t a mystery in any papers at the time.

There were however several stories similar to the Last Bus to Fragrant Hill circulating even before 1995, and some sources put the event at 1992, and perhaps even earlier. However, as the legend stands today, there are several things that can debunk the story. Online the earliest entry found of this story so far dates back to 2015.
