11 Haunted Castles for Spine-Tingling Supernatural Encounters This Halloween | Vogue

"Set between Jaipur and Alwar in the green hills of the Aravallis, this 17th-century royal palace town once encompassed more than 9,000 homes behind three fortifications and five gates, now reduced to evocative ruins that draw crowds for both scenery and legend. Curses loom large here—one attributed to the magician Singhia spurned by Princess Ratnavati, another to the ascetic Balu Nath angered when the fort’s shadow fell on his dwelling—while visitors report watchful chills, sudden temperature drops, and apparitions, including a woman in a black saree. Entry runs from sunrise to sunset, and stepping inside after dark is illegal." - Nicole Kliest
