Kurseong Dow Hill - Hill Station or Haunted Destination?


Indian Ghost Stories or Indian horror tales – Ever tried googling these words? Sixty search pages and hundreds of web sites with millions of incidences is the result you would get. So, one can imagine the impact these paranormal activities impose on human life. India, a country with its rich history, certainly filled with mysteries is where you’ ll find legends and folktales about paranormal activities. Are these true? – Nobody knows. Does anyone believe in them? – Yes, there are many. Unknown ghosts and deadly spirits are the points of discussion atleast once in a lifetime for everyone. 





Resembling these flickers with some places has been the part and parcel of the stories. Forts, Railway stations, Forests, Ghost Houses, schools, colleges, hills, mountains and lot many places seem to have reported some or the other super natural incidence. One such story is that of Kurseong Dow Hill.

Kurseong, a hill station situated in Darjeeling state of West Bengal is blessed with a pleasant climate for the entire year. Locally known as “Kharsang”, it means “Land of the White Orchids” in Lepcha language. This town is famous mainly for schools and tourism. The mission schools and small guest-houses which eke out a meager existence today, last from the British rule. Kurseong is also called the ‘Good Castle’ by the Tibetans. It is the site of an outpost of Tibetan religious life- a small lamasery. This quiet town is arguably an ideal place to relax and chill out. Having known all these aspects about Kurgeong, very few people are aware of the mystery associated with this beautiful location. This place secures its position in the list of most haunted destinations.



Yes, you guessed it right…the place is stated to be one of the most haunted places in India. It is said that this is a place of many murders. Many locals have heard the footsteps in the Victoria Boys School especially when the school is closed for long holidays from December to March. There are no foot marks found, neither of humans nor of animals. But the footsteps are heard. 

The Victoria Boys School, Kurseong

Countless numbers of paranormal behaviors and murders are reported near the dark, strange and haunted forests. They seem to be mysterious in their own way. On the stretch between the Kurseong Dow- Hill road and Forest office, woodcutters claim to have seen a headless young boy walking and disappearing in the trees. Headless Boy!! – Damn, even the thought of this gives an eerie feeling. Can’t imagine what would be the people’s state of mind when they actually saw this.

The apparition walks down the road and then slips into the woods. Locals feel as if they are been watched and followed. People here have reported to have an uncanny, depressive feeling. However, no proofs of any super natural activity have been found. Some say it’s true while other say these are just rumors. But, the fact remains that the miserable feeling of people has been so intense that it has led to multiple suicides.
