(II) Nale Ba:
This urban legend originated in Karnataka and it is said to be a ferocious witch or sometimes a male spirit who roams at night from house to house, calling people by their names. It is said that Nale Ba possesses the voice of the victim's kin before calling so that he or she responds. If the victim responds he dies by vomiting blood. The word "Nale Ba" means 'Come Tomorrow'. People write 'Nale Ba' on their doors so the spirit visits tomorrow rather and the cycle repeats.
(III) Lady in White:
Sanjay Van, a beautiful forest located in South Delhi is famous for its pleasant atmosphere but in the past few decades, visitors have spotted a lady in a white saree roaming in the woods and then suddenly disappearing. Not just this, people have also heard crying and laughter even when no one was there. Are you brave enough to visit this forest?
(IV) The mystery of Kuldhara:
Located in Rajasthan, this abandoned 'ghost village' was under the rule of Paliwal Brahmins who ended up putting a curse that no one will ever be able to reside in this village. Since then this village is carrying the curse and many tourists and paranormal teams have tried spending their nights, all of them reporting unknown whispers, shadowy figures walking here and there, and unknown touches of cold hands, some people even got chased by shadowy figures. This village is remaining inhabitable.
