Kuldhara - The Ghost Village in Jaisalmer

Kuldhara haunted is located 15 Km West of Jaisalmer in Western Rajasthan. Established in 1291 by the Paliwal Brahmins, an astute group of businessmen who were flourishing at that time. In fact, they actually controlled the trade that took place on the Silk Road to Persia (Iran) and throughout the Arabian Desert. They were also known to be skilled when it comes to agriculture, having a great deal of knowledge in regards to water conservation and the harvesting of rain water that allowed them to cultivate wheat and gram in what was a barren wilderness at that time. Read on below to find everything about Kuldhara haunted.

Today, Kuldhara is a ghost village, having been abandoned in the 1800s. This occurred after the Kuldhara, along with close to 83 other villages nearby, simply and suddenly vanished into the dark. It is believed that the entire population of more than 17,000 people acted upon their own accord here. Nevertheless, this migration of the villagers to other places left the Kuldhara haunted village in ruins.

Kuldhara Abandoned Village

Nobody saw everyone leave the Kuldhara abandoned village or knew where they had gone. However, there are a few theories as to why this happened.

First of all, there may have been a Mughal invasion and poisoning. This would make sense considering that this rich community was oftentimes their target. Whenever the Kuldhara haunted villagers resisted the wells and water sources were poisoned resulting in the death of many animals and thus making it very difficult for the villagers to continue living there. Since then nobody has wanted to return because they were afraid.

Secondly, the Emperor may have wanted to marry the village chief’s beautiful daughter (Paliwal Brahmin). When he refused because they were of different casts the Emperor got mad and imposed heavy taxation upon the village, which didn’t pay up, But the villagers fled. However, they chose to kill the girl before doing so because they didn’t want the Emperor to recognize them and arrest them all for fleeing. It’s believed that they buried her in a hole alive where she died with many unfulfilled desires and so continues roaming around as a Churail (lady ghost) that haunts people who venture into her village, especially at night.

Kuldhara Village

To this day there are very few people who are willing to tread within the Kuldhara haunted village, especially at night. This is particularly true now that the Paranormal Society of Delhi has acknowledged Kuldhara haunted. They’d sent 30 people in to spend the night at which point mysteriously moving shadows (via LASER rays), haunting voices, children’s hand prints on vehicles and inexplicable touches were just some of the phenomena that were experienced in Kuldhara Village. Some of the other things that the team experienced during their 12 hour stay included spirits who revealed their names and other information about themselves through the team’s very sophisticated equipment, which is known as a “Ghost Box;” and a sudden rise and drop in temperature that was shown ont he team’s K-2 metre device.
