The water hole found in the forest is also known as the Witch’s Well. The term “Baudi” translates to a well, and as per local legends, this well at Chudail Baudi was excavated during the British colonial era. However, this well holds more than water—it holds a chilling curse, believed to be the creation of a vindictive spirit.

The Woman in White Saree

Local folklore narrates the haunting tale of a woman who met a tragic fate many years ago, and her lingering spirit is said to torment this well. She is often described as an English woman with long black hair and a white saree. Many claim that she is asking passing cars for lift or just constantly staring at you from the backseat of your car if you refuse her. 

According to the legend, the woman was unjustly accused of adultery, a crime that led her husband to mete out a gruesome punishment—he buried her alive near this very well. Her restless spirit is thought to haunt Chudail Baudi, forever seeking retribution against those who cross her path.

Chilling Encounters on the Road

Around Chudail Baudi, many have recounted eerie experiences bordering on the paranormal, especially on the surrounding roads. It is said that cars automatically slow down in the area, no matter how much you try to accelerate. It is also said that if you encounter the woman in the white saree and doesn’t give her a lift, she will chase after your car. A story very similar to The Ghost of the Lady in White Sari of Delhi Cantt.

There are tales that her showing up has caused many accidents on the nearby roads, where even some of the car crashes have cost more lives.

The Future of Chudail Baudi

Although the haunted legends around the water hole are well known in the region, this doesn’t stop life for moving forward. Plans are to make this area a playground for the local kids. The question is, will the haunting stop for this reason? Or perhaps it will just get more fuel?

After darkness falls on Delhi Cantt in the city, the ghosts are said to appear. Several of the locals have reported about the ghost of a woman wearing a white sari approaching cars, asking for lifts. Where she is going is unclear, but if you tell her no, it is said she will chase you. 

The part of Delhi called Delhi Cantonment or simply Delhi Cantt is located in the heart of New Delhi, is a bustling hub of activity during the day. The Delhi Cantt houses a lot of the defense and army housing and schools. 

It is said that this part of Delhi is the safest area. However, as the sun sets and the night falls, a different kind of activity takes over – the eerie and ghostly kind.

With all of these army forces you would think that Delhi Cantt would be a peaceful one. But according to the local word of mouth it is anything but. The area of over 10 000 acres close to Dhaula Kaun is notorious for its spooky legends, with tales of supernatural occurrences and sightings of apparitions and unexplained phenomena. 

The Woman in White Saree

According to the legend, there is a middle aged woman wearing a white sari that is said to haunt the area of Delhi Cantt. She is said to have gray hair, and some sources even point out that she apparently has hairy arms.

Why she is said to wear a white saree though, is uncertain, however, many ghost stories involve a woman in white saree. In India and especially in Hinduism, the color white is also the color of mourning, and many  widows have traditionally worn them. The white saree is also said to represent purity, innocence as well as spirituality. This with the fact that most modern ghosts globally are wearing white, makes this trope especially common. 

The Ghostly Tales of Delhi Cantt

Back to this particular ghost story, there are some variations of the reports and sightings. Some claim she comes out from the lush and green areas, some say she is just wandering the roads, most reports pinpoint her to between 1 and 4 am.

She is said to be walking along the roads and asks for a lift when night falls over the neighborhood. Apparently many of the call centers in the area advised their employees never to stop their car and give anyone a lift. 

If you deny her a lift, it is said that she is following the car and even matching its speed, so you can’t outrun her. 

It is said that she is the ghost of a lady that was killed on the route when she was going someplace. Perhaps on the road in a car accident, or perhaps in the green forestry people claim she comes from. To where we don’t know, but apparently she is still trying to get there.

The Haunted Begunkodor Train Station Reopened after being Closed for Decades

After a rumor about seeing the ghost of a woman wearing a white sari by the rural Begunkodor Train Station, it closed down for decades. Now after it’s opened, the story of the ghost has returned. What exactly is happening by the tracks?

Far from most things in the remote village of Begunkodor in West Bengal lies a railway station shrouded in mystery that spans decades and supposedly haunted by a spectral presence that continues to send shivers down the spines of those who dare to venture near.

Built in the early 1960s but closed down pretty quickly because of the haunted rumors, Begunkodor Train Station serves the Purulia district and has since its reopening been seen as one of the most haunted railway stations in India. 

The Lady in White Saree

Legend has it that Begunkodor Train Station is haunted by the ghost of a lady draped in a white saree—a tragic figure whose spirit wanders the platforms and tracks, forever trapped in a spectral dance of sorrow and despair. 

This story was told by a railway employee working as the station master to the villagers of Begunkodor in 1967, the year they decided to close down the Begunkodor Train Station. After he told about his sightings, he was ignored and nothing was down. Allegedly his first hand account was published, but he wouldn’t survive to tell if for much longer. 

According to local lore, the woman in a white sari has many origin stories. Some claim she is a witch with horrible powers, while other says she is the ghost of a lady who met her untimely demise when she was tragically run over by a train at the station, her life snuffed out in a moment of unspeakable horror. 

Either way, it is said that this very specter holds the power to seriously harm people, perhaps even take their life. 

The Death of the Station Master

Because just seeing the spectral presence of the lady in white is not the only source of terror at Begunkodor Train Station. It is said that the sight of the ghostly apparition led to the death of a railway employee. 

The same year the Station Master tried to warn the villagers about the ghost, the dead bodies of him as well as his family were found in their home. The locals finally took his warning to heard and blamed it all on the ghost or possible witch that were haunting the Begunkodor Train Station. 

After all this controversy and rumors, they closed down the station when the trains passing refused to stop because of the paranormal stuff they claimed they experienced on this platform. 

The Reopened Begunkodor Train Station

Since that fateful day, reports have surfaced of eerie sightings and inexplicable phenomena occurring at Begunkodor Train Station. Witnesses claim to have seen the ghostly apparition of the lady in white, her ethereal form gliding silently along the tracks or twirling in a macabre dance upon the platforms. Some even swear that her mournful wails can be heard echoing through the night, a chilling reminder of the tragedy that befell her.

Despite these chilling reports, the government dismissed the claims of paranormal activity and decided to reopen Begunkodor Station in 2009, after it had lain deserted for 42 years. Some claim that the staff made up the ghost stories to not be stationed there. 

Some even claim that the locals made up the ghost story to get a boost of “ghost tourism”. Perhaps worst is that this particular rationalist group called Paschim Banga Bigyan Mancha, said that the locals then loot the tourists after they scare them away. 

The way that they called it busting the myth about the station being haunted is that they camped out there in 2017 and they saw a group of men in the bushes making the sounds. Although they didn’t manage to catch them, they reckon they were behind the rumors. 

What about the station master and his family’s mysterious death at Begunkodor Train Station? Did it really happen, or was that also a part of the legend created to scare people? For now, no evidence supporting that their death actually happened like they claim. 

Yet, despite the government’s assurances, the whispers of the supernatural persist, casting a pall of fear and unease over the station and its surroundings. People still avoid using this station after sunset and twice a week, it is said that a girl is seen running along the tracks on the same day she died.
