35 Creepy Photos of Abandoned Theme Parks

Are you brave enough to wander crumbling and decaying abandoned theme parks? Believe it or not, urban explorers have made the trip and taken photos that will haunt your nightmares. Some of these eerie theme parks are featured in famous shows and movies, and a few have become hotspots for Instagrammers.  

We’ve collected chilling photos from 30 abandoned theme parks, from the U.S. to Japan. Read on to learn about the tragic stories of these parks.    

New Orleans, LA: Six Flags

It’s definitely no longer “playtime” at Six Flags in New Orleans. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused catastrophic damage in New Orleans. Sitting right next to Lake Pontchartrain, Six Flags became submerged in 20 feet of brackish floodwater. For over a month, the entire amusement park was flooded.

Inspectors declared Six Flags an “effective total loss” due to the high winds and flood water that had wrecked the park. As a result, Six Flags was closed indefinitely. Although the New Orleans Police Department patrols the park 24 hours a day, thrill-seekers and vandals still find ways to trespass. Today, the deserted park resembles a creepy ghost-town. 

Waterbury, CT: Holy Land USA

John Baptist Greco found inspiration from bible passages to create Holy Land USA in 1955. The grounds chairman at Holy Land, Bob Chinn, called Greco a spiritual man. Chinn added , “He wanted to do this for the people of the community. He felt no one, no matter the race, creed or color, should be separated. He wanted a place for all people to sit and be peaceful.”

Holy Land featured the Garden of Eden, replicas of catacombs, a chapel, stations of the cross and Israelite villages. After the park closed in 1984, thieves swooped in, stealing many attractions and statues from the site. The site’s future is still uncertain.

Princeton, WV: Lake Shawnee Amusement Park

Why do paranormal investigators flock to Lake Shawnee Amusement Park? Let’s start at the beginning. In 1926, the park was unknowingly built on the site of a Native American burial ground (seriously). During the park’s run, six people died at Lake Shawnee Amusement Park. A little girl died on the swings after a truck backed into the structure. In another case, a boy drowned in the park’s swimming pond.

Lake Shawnee Amusement Park gained a deadly reputation, which may have caused the attraction to close in 1966. Locals believe the park is cursed. The park isn’t completely abandoned, however. Ghost hunters (and perhaps ghosts) often roam the site.

Beech Mountain, NC: The Land of Oz

“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore,” says Dorothy in the film, The Wizard of Oz . She’s right. Visitors will find the yellow brick road, Emerald City and the Wicked Witch’s castle at the Land of Oz in Beech Mountain, North Carolina.

When the Land of Oz opened in 1970, it was the top attraction in the Eastern US. Many celebrities visited the Land of Oz, including actresses Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher. Legendary boxer, Muhammad Ali, also stopped by the park once. However, the business took a turn for the worse. Bad investments, destroyed buildings and theft led to the park’s closure in 1980.

In the ’90s, the owners began to restore the park to hold annual public events. For the majority of the year, however, the park remains empty.

Dadizele, Belgium: Dadipark

Before Dadipark was an amusement park, it was a church playground. One of the town’s pastors, Gaston Deweer, created the playground for families with small children in 1950. Thirty years later, Deweer transformed the playground into an affordable amusement park, where millions of visitors enjoyed the fun rides.

However, business went downhill when a boy lost his arm on the Nautic Jet water ride. Ouch. Locals began to complain about the park’s safety. In 2002, the site closed its doors for renovations as visitor numbers dwindled. The improvements never happened, and the park never opened again. While Dadipark was left abandoned, plants grew over some of the attractions. In 2012, a company from the Netherlands demolished the decaying park.

Williams Grove, PA: Williams Grove Amusement Park

Williams Grove Park was almost destroyed after Hurricane Agnes struck the area in 1972. Sounds like bad luck, right? The park actually survived and the owners, the Hughes family, rebuilt the park. Shortly after, Williams Grove Park went back into business until 2005.

The Hughes turned their attention to creating the Williams Grove Speedway. They tried to sell the Williams Grove property to an owner who would continue to maintain the amusement park, but the Huges never found a buyer, so the park was left to crumble. 

Phillipsville, CA: Hobbiton USA

Located close to the Avenue of the Giants in northern California, Hobbiton USA was once a major roadside attraction. At Hobbiton USA, locals and tourists took a journey into J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel, The Hobbit . The enchanting and charming site included hobbit homes and sculptures of characters from the book. For anyone who had no idea what The Hobbit was, each attraction came with button-activated speakers to explain the scene.

Why did Hobbiton USA close? Visitors believe the park ran into legal trouble and shut down. The majority of the attractions have disappeared underneath dense plant life. However, those who pass by report that a decaying Gandalf and the door of Bilbo Baggins are still visible. 

Nara, Japan: Dreamland

Nara, Japan is known for its beautiful temples, shrines and ruins. The Emperor lived in Nara during the Nara period (AD 710 to 794) before calling Kyoto his new home. Nara was also the home of Dreamland, a theme park inspired by California’s Disneyland.

Dreamland’s owner, Kunizo Matsuo, met with Walt Disney to bring Disneyland to Japan, but the two disagreed on licensing fees near the end of the construction phase. So, Matsuo dropped the Disneyland idea and created Dreamland instead. The park was an instant success when it opened in 1961. But Dreamland went out of business in 2006 after Disneyland, DisneySea and Universal Studios opened in Japan.

Marble Falls, AR: Dogpatch USA

Dogpatch USA was based on Li’l Abner , a comic strip featuring a fictional clan of hillbillies. When the park opened in 1968, it gained popularity and was highly profitable. Investors also remodeled Dogpatch USA into a winter sports complex in 1972, hoping to make it even more prosperous.

The investors turned out to be very wrong. Marble Falls experienced warmer winters than usual, leading to the park’s downfall. Eventually, Dogpatch’s situation got worse. The park went bankrupt, became entangled in legal problems and then permanently closed in 1993. 

Onsted, MI: Prehistoric Forest Amusement Park

Just off the highway in Onsted, Michigan, rests another world. The Prehistoric Forest was once a lively roadside attraction, drawing visitors with life-sized dinosaurs, fossil digging pits, a man-made volcano and the popular 400-foot Jungle Rapids Water Slide. Between 1963 and 2002, the park sent guests back in time.

Rerouted highways led to business faltering and the demise of the Prehistoric Forest. Today, neglected dinosaurs and cavemen lay scattered across the park. Some statues sink behind plants, while others have been stolen. The abandoned park prohibits any visitors, but that hasn’t stopped vandals and urban explorers.

Beijing, China: Wonderland

Wonderland never opened for business. In fact, construction on the amusement park was never finished. Property developers from Thailand intended to make Wonderland the biggest and greatest amusement park in Asia. However, they canceled construction plans after running into financial problems in 1998.

The abandoned park featured skeletal remains of castles and medieval-themed structures. Local farmers didn’t want the land to go to waste, so they reclaimed the area and used it to plant crops. Visitors reported that park attendants still stood in Wonderland’s parking lot, supposedly to direct curious explorers. In 2013, the remaining structures were demolished.

Japan: Gulliver’s Kingdom

Gulliver’s Kingdom theme park in Japan didn’t have the greatest location. It was actually located in one of the creepiest places in Japan. The park was built near Aokigahara, best known as Japan’s “Suicide Forest.” It was also close to the former headquarters of the infamous Aum Shinrikyo, a cult behind the deadly Tokyo subway sarin attack in 1995.

The strange park was based on Jonathan Swift’s novel, Gulliver’s Travels . In the middle of the park laid the book’s main character, Lemuel Gulliver. The sinister location reportedly caused a lack of customers, leading to the park’s demise in 2001. In 2007, the abandoned park was demolished. 

Chippewa Lake, Ohio: Chippewa Lake Park

Locals believe that Chippewa Lake Park’s owner, Parker Beach, might haunt the park today. After the park closed due to low attendance, Beach asked his family to bury him there, and they agreed. He’s reportedly buried at an unknown location at the site.

Chippewa Lake Park is no stranger to appearing in movies. At the end of an amusement park documentary called Welcome Back Riders , it states, “Be respectful if you try to find Parker Beach’s Grave. Let him enjoy his park in peace. …It’s by the roller coaster.” Also, the 2008 horror film, Closed For the Season , shot some scenes at the apocalyptic theme park.

Berlin, Germany: Spreepark

Spreepark has a history of bad luck. The park found itself in huge debt in 1999. To get back in the green, the owners increased the park’s entrance fee. Customers thought that raising prices was a poor decision. Consequently, the number of visitors dropped and the business shut down in 2002.

Shortly after the park’s closure, owner, Norbert Witte, and his family left Germany and moved to Peru for unknown reasons. In 2004, Witte went to prison for seven years after smuggling drugs from Peru to Germany. The terrible news doesn’t stop there. In 2014, a fire destroyed major parts of the park. The arsonist remains unknown, but investigators concluded that the fire was set deliberately.

Wichita, KS: Joyland Amusement Park

During its heyday, Joyland Amusement Park was a major attraction filled with laughing children and cool rides. It was also home to one of the last surviving original wooden coasters. Unfortunately, a serious incident involving the park’s Ferris wheel led to the park’s end.

In 2004, a 13-year-old girl fell 30 feet from the Ferris wheel, suffering severe injuries. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission closed the park and investigated the accident. The park never reopened. Today, it’s just a crumbling playground for vandals.

Geoje, South Korea: Okpo Land

Okpo Land has a disturbing backstory. While in operation, Okpo Land thrived with exciting roller coasters and electric cars. However, the park’s main attraction, the duck ride, caused fatal accidents in the 1990s. A cart derailed and capsized in one incident. While many riders suffered injuries, one young girl fell to her death.

Shortly after, the park owner mysteriously disappeared and was never seen again. Okpo Land closed permanently in 1999 and everything was left to rot where it was, including the scene of the fatal accident. The remains of the duck cart dangled over the edge of the track until the park was demolished in 2011.

Aurora, Ohio: Geauga Lake Park

How many theme parks do you know that were open for more than 100 years? Geauga Lake Park is one of the few amusement parks to do just that, operating from 1887 to 2007. When the park opened, it featured many attractions, including a massive swimming pool, a dance hall and bowling alley.

The park went through many name changes and owners. In 2000, the park’s name changed to Six Flags Ohio. Then, in 2001, it turned into Six Flags Worlds of Adventure. No one knows for sure why the park closed. Today, Geauga Lake Park remains in a state of decay.

Nikko, Japan: Western Village

Welcome to the wild west in Japan. Believe it or not, Japan had a theme park that included a Western saloon, a jail and a giant replica of Mount Rushmore. CNN reports that Western Village was built in 1975, and cost $27 million to build.

Western Village shut down in 2007, after failing to compete with Disneyland and Universal Studios. Explorers who visit the neglected theme park say it’s easy to get lost in. Creepy robots and giant teddy bears are still scattered throughout the park, and Mount Rushmore is rotting. Would you dare to visit this lonely theme park?

Newberry Springs, CA: Lake Dolores Waterpark

Located off Interstate 15 in the Mojave Desert, Lake Dolores Waterpark operated from 1962 to 2004. The waterpark went through a few name changes, including Rock–A–Hoola Waterpark and Discovery Waterpark. Lake Dolores closed due to low attendance.

Since Lake Dolores closed, it has become a popular attraction for film crews. The park has appeared in MTV’s reality show Rob & Big , Top Gear America , Abandoned and the skate film Kilian Martin: Altered Route . You can say the park is pretty famous now. Urban explorers also sneak into the abandoned park even though there’s a big “no trespassing” sign at the entrance.

Aarup, Denmark: Fun Park Fyn

When Fun Park Fyn opened in the 1980s, it lured families with affordable prices and pleasant attractions, such as waterslides, bumper cars and swan boats. However, the fun ended in August 2006 when the park went bankrupt. Now, a different crowd visits Fun Park Fyn.

The deteriorating and deserted park attracts photographers and thrill-seekers. Unfortunately, it also draws troublemakers and thieves. Rust covers the waterslides, while gunk and debris fill the pools. Remaining bumper cars and swan boats litter Fun Park Fyn. Do you dare to visit this creepy, abandoned park?

Galston, Scotland: Loudoun Castle Theme Park

Loudoun Castle Theme Park was built around the real ruins of the 19th century Loudoun Castle. During the park’s early years, it faced mounting debt. That’s never a good sign. Loudoun Castle Theme Park also went through several owners in its history.

In 2007, a tragic incident occurred, involving one of the staff members. 18-year-old ride operator, Mark Blackwood, fell 80 feet from a roller coaster while trying to fix the ride. He died at the hospital. After a two-week trial, the park owners were found not guilty of negligence. The park owners shut down the business in 2010.

Orlando, FL: Splendid China

The park owners spent $100 million to build Splendid China in Florida. It was built as a sister park to Splendid China in Shenzhen, China (which is still in operation). Each structure was handcrafted for authenticity. The park’s replica of the Great Wall was made of 7 million bricks. The park also included Terracotta Warriors of Xi’an and a four-story-tall Leshan Buddha.

Florida’s Splendid China took entertainment seriously. The park hired 60 dancers, actors and acrobats from the People’s Republic of China to put on a show for guests. After the park opened in 1993, it had to contend with protestors who believed the park was propaganda for China. After closing its doors in 2003, vandals and thieves raided Splendid China, stealing statues and spray-painting walls. 

Rhyl, North Wales: Ocean Beach Fun Fair

Rhyl’s Fun Fair was originally located at Marine Lake, where it opened in 1848. Each year, thousands of guests flocked to the amusement park. In 1954, it relocated to Ocean Beach at the West end of the promenade. Funfair’s popularity began to decline during the 1960s.

In 2005, disaster struck when several guests got hurt. A roller coaster went off the tracks at the end of the ride, and five guests sustained injuries. It didn’t take long for Fun Fair to shut down after the accident. In fact, it closed in 2007.  

Berlin, Germany: Blub Water Park

Blub was short for Berliner Luft-und Badeparadies, which translates to “Berlin air-and bathing paradise.” The water park first opened in 1985, but closed its doors in 2002 after experiencing health concerns and violent youth gangs. When Blub shut down, the decaying park attracted tourists, skaters and photographers.

In 2016, a fire devastated the buildings at Blub. According to the German media outlet, Welt, the park was also devastated by rats and “idiots.” The park owners plan to redevelop the site. But for now, the huge, lonely park resembles an apocalyptic site.

Lancashire, England: Camelot Theme Park

Some locals say Camelot Theme Park is an abandoned “knightmare.” First opened in 1983, the park had many profitable years before declining visitor count lead to its closure in 2013. This low turnout was likely caused by poor summer weather and the park’s failure to compete with the London 2012 Olympics and the Diamond Jubilee.

The fun stopped for many Camelot fans. One guest, Allistair Bradley, told the Lancashire Post, “I have been to the theme park countless times with my children, so this news comes as quite a blow.” As of June 2019, parts of medieval figures are scattered across the park. Buildings are crumbling and vandalism and arson are common.

Pripyat, Ukraine: Pripyat Amusement Park

Pripyat amusement park is currently a hot spot for Instagrammers thanks to HBO’s historical drama, Chernobyl . The park planned to open for the very first time in May 1986. But that never happened. In April, the Chernobyl disaster took place just a few miles away, quickly becoming one of the most catastrophic nuclear explosions ever to occur.

According to a United Nations study, 4,000 people died from radiation exposure as a result of Chernobyl. However, a Greenpeace study reported that there were 200,000 casualties. Today, the radiation levels throughout the park vary.

So many people take selfies at Pripyat amusement park and the disaster site that Chernobyl’s creator, Craig Mazin , made a statement, saying, “If you visit, please remember that a terrible tragedy occurred there. Comport yourselves with respect for all who suffered and sacrificed.”

Suita, Japan: Expoland

Japan’s Expoland has a tragic past. The amusement park thrived for 30 years with more than 40 rides and attractions and 19 restaurants and shops. Then, in 2007, a 19-year-old university student from Higashiomi, Shiga died and 19 other visitors suffered injuries when the Fujin Raijin II derailed at Expoland.

The park closed temporarily after the accident. Investigators discovered the ride derailed because of a broken axle and that none of the ride’s axles had been replaced for 15 years. Authorities cited Expoland for improper maintenance, and the park shut down in December 2007.

Seoul, South Korea: Yongma Land

In 1983, Yongma Land was a big deal when it first opened in Seoul, South Korea. But after the first decade, the park began to lose customers and profit when Lotte World, a massive recreation complex, set up shop. Yongma Land officially stopped operating as an amusement park in 2011.

The old-school and deteriorating grounds draws many guests, including photographers, videographers, and musicians. The K-pop music video for Crayon Pop’s Bar Bar Bar was filmed at the park. Yongma Land also became a popular spot for cosplay following its shutdown. 

Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam: Ho Thuy Tien Water Park

The remaining magic of Ho Thuy Tien Water Park attracts many Instagrammers. Although the park didn’t see success while it was open, it’s now a must-visit post-apocalyptic dreamworld for explorers. Many parts of the site have been taken over by plant life (and grazing cows).

However, visitors, can’t miss the park’s main attraction: the three-story-tall dragon on top of the aquarium. Inside the dragon, a staircase leads to a viewing area (the dragon’s open mouth), where guests can enjoy the amazing view of Thuy Tien Lake. 

Guerneville, CA: J’s Amusement Park

What was once filled with laughter is now haunted by a spooky silence. From the 1960s to 2003, J’s Amusement Park was a small family run operation. The park featured thrilling attractions, a mad mouse, miniature golf, a racetrack and a roller coaster.

Today, J’s Amusement Park is concealed behind the woods and reclaimed by nature. The site stinks of decay and paint flakes off of the structures. The attractions look like they’re ready to crumble with just one touch. If you’re brave enough to visit J’s, you’ll find a terrifying monster guarding the park from the top of a building.

Orlando, FL: Disney’s River Country

“Sorry River Country is closed,” says a sign in front of Disney’s empty water park in Orlando. Before Disney’s River Country closed, it was a fun destination for thousands of families to cool off from the summer heat. Disney’s River Country mimicked an old-fashioned swimming hole with “a twist of Huckleberry Finn.”

Disney shut down the park in 2001. Since then, Disney’s River Country has been rotting and deteriorating. Dirty water fills the pools. Moss, weeds and vines cover rusty slides and fences. Inside the park’s buildings, leaves cover the floors and the wallpaper is peeling off. Now, the empty park looks haunted.

Itaguaí, Brazil: Park Albanoel

Christmas isn’t always merry and bright, just look at Park Albanoel in Itaguaí, Brazil. The beloved park owner, Albano Reis, opened the Christmas-themed park in 2000. Locals called him Santa Claus because Reis dressed up as the jolly ol’ fella every Christmas.

Reis intended to build the largest tourist entertainment attraction in Brazil. However, his dream came to a sudden end. The park shut its doors after Reis died in a car accident near the site in 2004. Today, cracks, rust and mold cover the Santa and candy cane structures at Park Albanoel.

Ellicott City, MD: Enchanted Forest Theme Park

Once upon a time, there was a storybook amusement park in Maryland. The Enchanted Forest Theme Park brought fairy tales and nursery rhymes to life. Kids wandered through Cinderella’s castle, went for a spin on Alice in Wonderland’s tea cups and ventured into the caves of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

The Enchanted Forest was the ultimate summer destination after opening in 1955. During its heyday, 300,000 children visited the Enchanted Forest each summer. However, the park began to lose children’s attention in the 1980s due to fierce competition from nearby theme parks with bigger and faster rides. After closing in the 1990s, The Enchanted Forest became a dreamland for photo enthusiasts.

Derbyshire, England: American Adventure Theme Park

Originally known as Britannia Park, American Adventure World transported customers to the American West. The theme park featured cowboys, Native Americans and intense, yet exciting rides. It became one of the top attractions in the country. However, visitor numbers started to plummet.

American Adventure World closed three of its most famous roller coaster rides, including Nightmare Niagara and The Missile. Shortly after, the park faced structural instability and water pollution problems. The owners called it quits and permanently closed the park in 2007.

Philadelphia, PA: Bushkill Park

While it was open, Bushkill Park featured one of the oldest funhouses in the US, the Bar’l of Fun. The park was also home to other famous antique rides, including bumper cars, The Whip, and The Haunted Pretzel. Sounds strange, right? But the locals went crazy for these attractions.

The park operated from 1902 to 2004, temporarily closing after Hurricane Ivan caused flooding and damaged many attractions. Floods plagued the park again in 2005 and 2006. Bushkill park closed again in 2006, and was left abandoned. While Bushkill Park rotted and flooded in 2011, it appeared in the horror film, The Fields , starring Cloris Leachman and Tara Reid.

Four reasons why Chinese industrial parks in India won’t be an instant hit

India wants Chinese investments—and it seems to be in a hurry.

Just weeks after Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi met the new government in New Delhi, India’s cabinet has now given “in-principal” approval to a memorandum of understanding allowing China to invest in industrial parks in India.

The details of the agreement are still under wraps, although Indian vice-president and the new commerce minister are currently in China on a five-day visit.

On the face of it, the government’s plan seems reasonable. India’s languishing manufacturing sector urgently needs investments, and with Western economies in disarray, turning to Beijing to kick start things seems rational.

It would also help India bridge its yawning trade deficit with China, currently sized at about $40 billion.

But that’s just on the surface. Here are four reasons why inviting China to set-up industrial parks isn’t such a great idea:

India’s industrial parks (or SEZs, if you will) haven’t exactly delivered

While the details of what the Indian government is proposing still isn’t clear, the past record of industrial parks—including China-inspired Special Economic Zones (SEZs)—is mixed.

Apart from land acquisition, taxation-related issues and infrastructure constraints have hamstrung the projects. It’s led to questions about loss of revenue to the exchequer.

Even commerce minister Nirmala Seetharaman in an interview earlier this month admitted that the entire SEZ policy needs a comprehensive re-look. The government, though, has been careful to leave the term ‘SEZ’ out of this latest plan. So, what exactly are industrial parks then?

The Chinese manufacturing model isn’t what India needs

The Chinese manufacturing mantra, which it has successfully exported to the ASEAN region, doesn’t match India’s requirements.

Large scale, low-cost, labor-intensive manufacturing may make sense for other developing economies, but India is perhaps better off by focusing on higher-value manufacturing.

A 2013 Indian Institute of Foreign Trade working paper ( pdf ) suggests that the dismal growth in India’s manufacturing sector is linked to the lack of depth in technology.

“Most Indian manufacturing firms appear to be stuck at the basic or intermediate level of technological capabilities,” the paper explains, “In India, manufacturing sector is losing its recognition and there is a need to invest more in R&D to make it competitive globally.”

Given the Chinese industry’s reputation for focusing on margins and profitability in overseas manufacturing, it is unlikely that substantial R&D investments will made to upgrade India’s research and production facilities.

India’s workforce isn’t tuned for Chinese firms

Part of the reason why the Indian government wants Chinese investment is to help in job creation. And part of the reason why Chinese companies want to invest here is India’s burgeoning workforce.

But there are fundamental problems.

Unlike in India, Chinese businesses don’t always have to contend with democratically elected governments elsewhere in Southeast Asia. The workforce in India is more unionized, with significant political clout to compared to other countries in the region.

As a result, the Chinese human resource management model, which has led to a rash of protests in recent year on the Chinese mainland and elsewhere, may not perform as smoothly as expected.

Moreover, Indian labor also has significantly low productivity—particularly compared to China—with very little growth, according to a 2013 Boston Consulting Group-CII report ( pdf ).

India’s small businesses will hate the competition for labour

The two big challenges for Chinese manufacturing, according to a 2013 Deloitte study , is rising labor costs and increased competition for human resources.

The monthly minimum wage in India, however, remains one of the lowest in region, less than even smaller economies like Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, according to an UNESCAP study ( pdf) .

That’s good news for Chinese firms looking to keep costs low.

But that is a threat to Indian companies, particularly small and medium enterprises, who are reportedly concerned about disproportionate competition and dumping of Chinese goods in the subcontinent.

Three Plants that Give You Better Indoor Air

Kamal Meattle used three just three indoor plant species to increase oxygen, filter air, and boost general health at a a New Delhi business park. You too can use them to freshen your indoor space.

Meattle's presentation at the TED 2009 conference details a large-scale success, using thousands of plants for hundreds of workers. In any living or working space, though, the three plants—Areca palm, Mother-in-law's Tongue, and a "Money Plant"—can be used to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, remove organic compounds, and generally filter and freshen the ambient air. A single person looks to need a minimum of 11 total plants, and certain climates with less sunlight could require a bit of hydroponic growing, but Meattle swears by the health, productivity, and atmosphere benefits.

• The 15 Most Haunted Places In Delhi You Must Visit in 2023

23 Mar 2023

“From that day on, I have never made fun of people accounting for haunted places in Delhi

The story goes back to one winter night when I was getting restless at my home and so I decided to go for a long drive with my friends. All my childhood friends are practically my neighbors. So I picked them up and we went in the general direction of our regular hang-out. We were chatting, laughing, goofing around when we heard a shrill voice from somewhere around. We came to a sudden halt and when we were entertaining the thought of inspecting the voice, a deformed kid came in our view. Mind you, that we were on a short cut route which is normally very secluded. When we all felt something creepy , my friends asked me to start driving and to not stop till we cross the path. When we started moving that kid became angry and started to throw rocks on my car and started screaming . We all noticed that the kid was black-eyed and he was abnormally pale. We took off from there like bats out of hell and never went back there. .”

Residents of this locality have often caught sight of an unusually pale and grimy corpse of a woman hanging upside down from a tree just outside one of the allegedly haunted houses in Delhi . Change in temperature, sudden winds and ear-splitting laughter of a woman can cause you to stop in mid-step. It is believed that that the area on which this complex is established was once a graveyard with many ghost sightings then.

As retold by Kunal Mathur , a Marketing Genius, “I was working returning from a party at 2 a.m. with three of my colleagues when I saw two people strangely dressed in Rajasthani attires walking away from us. We had heard many incidences about this road being one of the most haunted places in Delhi. We found it odd that why would anyone take a walk on these secluded roads at this time of the night. As soon as we crossed them, they started following us with inhuman speed. My colleague who was driving just pushed the speed to its limits and then also, those two spooky people were able to follow us. However, once we passed a small roadside temple, they just vanished in thin air. To this date, I haven’t been able to make any sense out of it. I haven’t traversed that haunted road again ever.”

Here Are The Most Haunted Places In Delhi Where You Need To Proceed With Caution

"It was late at night and I was driving down a solitary lane along with two of my friends. It was rather still and calm outside and yet, unexpectedly, the wind started howling & whistling; we thought it was a normal irregularity of Delhi’s unpredictable weather but suddenly we saw a woman clad in a white saree standing on the roadside!"

Seems right out of a horror movie, doesn't it? But this is one of the many instances narrated by Delhiites who have experienced paranormal activity in the city! So for those who believe in the supernatural, here's where to go looking!

1. The Tree Near Dwarka Sector 9 Metro Station

People travelling in call centre cabs at night have experienced curious energy, slapping them and a woman appearing and disappearing, travelling along with the speed of the car! Yes, it sounds creepy, but according to many, this is true. It’s best you don’t traverse this area during the night! 

Where | Dwarka Sector 9 Metro Station 

2. Delhi Cantonment

Picture Credits:  increind

A lush green area managed by the security services of our country is supposedly a shelter for the spirit of a lady who died in a car mishap there. Many people have confirmed her presence time and again clad in a white saree with greying hair and hairy hands, trying to get the attention of various passers-by. Wow, that's creepy!

Where | Delhi Cantonment

3. Feroz Shah Kotla Fort

Picture Credits:  anugrahgj

The first impression that you get after a brief look at the Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is that of a haunted place, especially because it does not see many visitors today. This site is said to have djinns residing in the ruins and the dark halls. Every Thursday, one can see the locals lighting candles, leaving offerings of milk and grain to appease the djinns, hoping for their wishes to come true. 

Where | Feroz Shah Kotla Fort - Balmiki Basti, Vikram Nagar

4. Sanjay Van

Sanjay Van is a stretch of about 10 kms - the green lungs of the city but also known to be haunted by spirits as it houses innumerable majaars (mausoleums of Sufi saints) and graves punctuated with broken ramparts of Qila Rai Pithora. Many experiences like sounds of crying children and sudden pushing and clawing have been reported here ever since its existence!

Where | Sanjay Van - Vasant Kunj 

5. Malcha Mahal

Picture Credits:  Tony Benoy

Located in a little-known village called Malcha near Delhi Earth Station, this place is surrounded by forests and what is known as the Delhi Ridge. It was originally a Tughlaq era hunting lodge and currently, very little is known about its mysterious inhabitants. By merely being near the place amidst the dense forest, you can experience an eerie feeling that you just can’t shake off!

Where | Malcha Mahal - Malcha 

6. Mutiny House

Picture Credits:  Nirmal David Kacchap

Located in Kashmere Gate, this is a memorial built by the British to commemorate the death of their officers in the revolt of 1857. And now, centuries later, people have found chopped-up moving arms and legs of the deceased officials in the evenings! People have often also reported that they see a headless soldier asking for a light! It truly must be a ghastly sight for those who have witnessed it first hand.

Where | Mutiny House - Kamla Nehru Ridge, Civil Lines

7. Bhuli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal

Picture Credits:  katerinas_asian_world

In Jhandewalan lies an old hunting lodge of Tughlaq and the entry to the monument from the North-East, interestingly, is twin-gated, which is strange for a structure that is deemed 'not so' important. It has remained abandoned and left unoccupied for centuries and is known to be haunted with various sounds and invisible shuffling activity around this part of the ridge.

Where | Bhuli Bhatiyari Ka Mahal - Central Ridge Reserve Forest

8. Karbala Graveyard

Karbala is a Shiite burial ground in BK Dutt Colony for the funeral of tazias, the ritual coffins of Imam Husain Ibn Ali (the prophet’s grandson). There is an eerie and gloomy ambience about this place, marked by cries and loneliness which may get to you, especially if you visit during the evenings. 

Where | Karbala Graveyard - Karbala Lane, Lodhi Road, Karbala Road, Civil Colony, BK Dutt Colony

9. The Ridge

Picture Credits:  delhiheritagewalks

The Delhi Ridge, an extension of the Aravalli Hill Range in NCT is a haunting rocky and hilly forested area where some of the goriest events of history took place. One can witness firangi ghosts still hovering the ridge, marking their territory. It's notorious for its moody ghosts and any visitors to this part of the Ridge should be very careful here as there's reportedly no mobile network to be found here as well!

Where | The Ridge - Chauburja Marg, Kamla Nehru Ridge, Civil Lines

10. Jamali Kamali Tomb & Mosque

Picture Credits:  Harsh Singh Rajawat

Located within the folds of Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Jamali, the renowned Sufi saint was buried here in 1535 alongside Kamali. You get an unsettling feeling once inside the chamber of the tomb and can also experience all kinds of noises calling out to you from the nearby graves, making it unsafe to visit during night-time.

Where | Jamali Kamali Tomb & Mosque - Ladha Sarai, Mehrauli Archeological Park Trail, Christian Colony, Mehrauli

11. Nicholson's Cemetery

Picture Credits:  Aman Sharma

This is one of the oldest cemeteries in Civil Lines, dating back to the British era and there are a lot of graves of British soldiers, their wives and children buried here. As you walk inside, the first thing that strikes you is that the entire place is engulfed in pin-drop silence and often you can feel a nagging presence lurking and following you, hidden behind the huge tamarind trees and palm trees found here. We just got chills!

Where | Nicholson's Cemetery - Club Road, Ludlow Castle, Civil Lines

12. Ashok Vihar Flyover

This Is A Representative Image

This highway may seem like an unlikely place to find trouble while driving but alas, don’t be so smug! Legend has it that a lady here died on the Satyawati Rail Tracks and her spirit till date haunts the car drivers here at around 2 AM. If you’re driving by looking for them, don’t be alarmed if you find her running beside your car to keep you company. 

Where | Satyawati Flyover, Ashok Vihar

13. Yamuna Ghat 

Picture Credits:  abhie0587

Yamuna ghat is said to be haunted and those who row their boats amid the numerous seagulls have claimed to find certain irregularities in the river water that churns without any known cause. People have also often said that they’ve seen shadows of people on the river banks only to find nothing when they’ve come closer to inspect. Now, who knows if it's just a trick of the sunlight on water or if there really is something sinister lurking amid the water depths!

Where | Yamuna Ghat - Kashmere Gate 

14. Tughlaqabad Fort

Picture Credits:  Sohel

Located in Tughlakabad, this fort is said to be haunted as a Sufi Saint cursed the royal fort to always remain unoccupied, or else may herdsmen live here. The fort is surrounded by the lush jungle that provides magnificent scenery. If you’re a person who loves to wander and enjoy the beauty of nature around you, then this place is a must-go for you. Avoid going too close to the fort as people have reported citing the ghost of Sultan Tughlaq wandering nearby the Fort. 

Where | Tughlakabad Fort - Tughlakabad 

15. Qabristan Of Kotla

Picture Credits:  Miraz Khan meer

Tortured are the souls of those who die for love, isn't it? One such tortured soul haunts the visitors of Kotla Qabristan. While many carry their heart on their sleeve, the ghost of General Nicholas carries his head on his arms instead. The next time you walk through the cemetery, beware of the General. And if you dare, talk to him and he’ll tell you the story of how he shot himself upon learning that his lover married someone else. 

Where | Kotla Qabristan - Netaji Subhash Marg, Priyadarshini Colony, Kashmere Gate

16. Khooni Jheel

Picture Credits:  wildernesssssss

It will be a tad bit disappointing to you bravehearts to hear that the khooni jheel actually doesn't have any traces of khoon in it. But it is tainted by the blood of many British families who fell to their death in the lake while fleeing a battle during 1857. While now the jheel is a popular lovers spot in the city, don’t be surprised if in the middle of a hot sesh you end up hearing children wailing or figures shadowing over you. 

Where | Khooni Jheel - Northern Ridge

17. Chor Minar

Picture Credits:  Abhishek restagi

No, we didn't see people partying around in HKV and assume they were hiding in the shadows like ghosts. We actually believe the Chor Minar in the mix of HKV Monuments is haunted and if you heard its story you’d have a hard time believing it’s not haunted too. Legend has it that Alaudin Khilji used the 200+ holes in the Minar to display the heads of all the people he beheaded to send a message to his opposers within his empire as well externally to his opponents like the Mongols. 

Where | Chor Minar - Padmini Enclave, Hauz Khas

18. GK 1 - W3

This abandoned house in GK 1 is said to be haunted and the neighbours have cited hearing screams and squabs from the house, phantom-like figures were also spotted by some of them. Though this house has now been purchased by a family, and the place has been rebuilt, there are people who still come here to see this terrifying house. 

Where | Greater Kailash 1

19. Sanjay Lake Park

Picture Credits:  yugesh_singh

Sanjay Lake is an oasis of green and peace within the city, especially for East Delhiites but it doesn't take much time before the silence one feels here turns eerie. The Lake, alongside ample flora and fauna, is also home to mausoleums of many Sufi saints. And people strolling through the Lake often complain of hearing voices of children crying and women screaming. In extreme instances, people have also noticed women clad in white sarees moving around the Peepal and Banyan trees of the park. *OMG*.

Where | Sanjay Lake Park - Mayur Vihar Phase II

20. Agrasen Ki Baoli 

Picture Credits:  travellinstaa_

The Baoli is counted as one of the most haunted places in Delhi. While many flock to the monument to enjoy the stunning architecture, one can also observe the metal pipes just before the water to prevent people from accidentally or intentionally jumping into it. This had to be brought in as there had been many instances of people jumping into the water and dying. Many alleged that the water body has a layer of black water that houses hypnotising powers. It coerces people into jumping into the water. We say proceed with caution! 

Where | Agrasen ki Baoli - Hailey Road, KG Marg

21. Karkardooma Court

Are you the kind who doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts? Well, try staying firm on your beliefs when we tell you that paranormal investigators actually couldn't deny the presence of supernatural beings inside the courthouse. What’s more, is that this paranormal activity has many captured on CCTV Cameras on numerous occasions. Advocates with chambers in the court are routinely disturbed by floating bubbles in their corridor, by their frequently missing belongings and regularly fluctuating computers. Rumour has it that there are 2 prominent ghosts present in the building - one of a lawyer who passed away in the Uttarakhand floods and another of an electrician who died by getting electrocuted in the court itself. 

Where | Karkardooma Court - Maharaja Surajmal Marg, Arjun Gali, Vishwas Nagar, Shahdara

22. Death Valley

Picture Credits:  ThekapoorWhoVlogs

Are you a person who loves to sit in a silent place that is surrounded with nature all around? If the answer to that question is a YES, then this place is a must-go for you. The name might sound a little scary and we wouldn't disagree because this place is actually considered as one of the scariest places in Haryana because of the mysterious deaths occurring in the area. Though, people love to visit the place in broad daylight as it's very beautiful and peaceful. 

Where | Faridabad, Haryana

23. Lothian Cemetery 

Picture Credits:  vastpankaj

Well, if you’re one of those persons who would back out if asked to take a stroll around a cemetery, then this place is not for you. Located just minutes away from Kashmere Gate, this graveyard is considered to be one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world. This cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries of Delhi and it is believed that the ghost of British officer Sir Nicholas's roams around the graveyard. It is cited that Sir Nicholas fell in love with an Indian lady but could not be married and this resulted in Nicholas taking his own life. 

Where |  Lothian Cemetery - Kashmere Gate

24. Saraswati Kunj 

This place is not a regular horror place with abandoned forts and lakes around; rather this place is a housing society in Gurgaon that is believed to be scary. There are rumours about the place being plagued by the spirit of a 15-year-old girl that is possessed by two spirits of a man and a woman. So, the next time you wander somewhere near this housing society, better take precautions. 

Where | Saraswati Kunj - Gurgaon

25. Phoenix Factory 

This factory is located in Sector 60, Noida and is believed to be plagued by the spirits. There was a time when high numbers used to work in this factory but as time passed many employees left the job because of the horrific incidents that took place with them. The factory turned into a ghostly place when a massive fire broke out in the place and more than 200 women including infants were burned to death. The management at the place has shut down a few rooms that face extreme paranormal occurrences. *shudders*

Where | Phoenix Factory - Noida

North Delhi: Bonta Park

Located north of Old Delhi and the Kashmiri Gate, Bonta Park (also known as the Kamla Nehru Ridge) is a pleasant, long stretch of green space. Here, runners can accumulate nearly 8 km of distance over both stone-paved and dirt trails. Highlights along the way include the Mutiny Memorial spire and the Flagstaff Tower. While there are multiple points to access the park’s trails, the best way to maximize distance is to start in the south at the Dr. Kamwal Road and head north past the medical college to Chauburja Marg. From Chauburja Marg, runners will encounter a series of dirt paths which loop around the north end of the park. Follow them clockwise or counter clockwise then return for a “lollipop” shaped route.
