5. Kuldhara

There are various contradictory theories about this village in Rajasthan, India. Since the 18th century, the settlement has been abandoned and is said to be accursed. Legend has it that Salim Singh, the state's strong and decadent minister, saw the village head's daughter and wished to forcibly marry her. If the community did not comply with his wishes, he warned them with dire repercussions. The Paliwal community members held a meeting rather than adhering to the tyrant's orders, and they abandoned their ancestral homelands and fled. But before they left, they cursed the village, saying that no one else would be able to reside in their area again.

The village has remained deserted to this day. It is thought that no one can live peacefully in the town because a demonic atmosphere still hovers over it.
