Though visiting a mysterious place can be scary, it sure can be exciting as well. I’m also sure that many of you would want to visit such mysterious and haunted places (though only during the day time and that too with a group of friends).

1. Mass Bird Suicide – Jatinga, Assam
While it may sound a bit odd, believe me, this unusual event is even weirder than you think. In Assam, there is a village called Jatinga where numerous birds commit suicide, or rather just fall dead.

2. Brij Raj Bhavan Palace – Kota, Rajasthan
It has been reported that at this palace lives a ghost who likes to slap guards whenever they doze off on duty. This ghost, acting like a supervisor, apparently belongs to Major Burton who was murdered during the mutiny of 1857.

The famous Dumas Beach has proven to be a nightmare for some. Walking alone at this beach at night is strictly not advisable as, in the past, there have been reports of people going missing from this beach, without a trace.
