Trains have stories. Some full of love, some packed with drama — and a few that are… downright chilling.
Imagine you’re sitting at a quiet railway platform. It’s dark. The wind blows. You hear footsteps… but there’s no one around. Sounds like a Bollywood horror scene, right?
Well, welcome to the haunted side of Indian Railways. These are real railway stations, with spine-chilling tales whispered by passengers, locals, and railway staff.
But don’t worry — if you have RailMitra, you won’t need to wander alone in the dark looking for information or food. Let’s dive into India’s eeriest stations, RailMitra style.
Haunted Railway Stations in India
1. Begunkodor Railway Station (West Bengal)
This small station in Purulia district remained shut for 42 years. Why? Because locals believed a ghost of a woman who died in a train accident haunted the tracks.
People claimed they saw her running alongside moving trains. After repeated complaints from railway staff, the station was declared haunted and shut in 1967. It reopened in 2009, but many still avoid it after dark.
What if you had RailMitra?
You’d know exactly when the next train is coming — no need to wait on a creepy, empty platform!
2. Barog Tunnel, Kalka–Shimla Route (Himachal Pradesh)
Tunnel No. 33 is not just any tunnel. It’s known as the haunted tunnel. British engineer Colonel Barog reportedly died by suicide here during the construction, and now… well, passengers say they’ve seen a man walking and then disappearing into the walls.
Locals claim his spirit is friendly, though. Still, walking through this tunnel alone? No thanks.
RailMitra Tip:
Check coach position and avoid walking alone on platforms or tunnels. Stay safe, stay informed.
3. Naini Railway Station (Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh)
It’s said that prisoners who were executed during British rule still haunt this place. Railway workers and coolies have reported hearing sobbing sounds and seeing shadows — especially late at night.
Would you wait for your train here at 2 AM?
RailMitra Rescue:
Use live train tracking. Know exactly when your train is arriving so you’re not stuck overnight.
4. Rabindra Sarobar Metro Station (Kolkata)
Yes, even metro stations have spooky tales.
Known as the “Paradise of Suicide,” this station is infamous for the number of suicides that have happened here. Commuters claim they see ghost-like figures vanishing on the tracks late at night.
Even Kolkata metro drivers speak about mysterious shadows crossing the line when there’s no one around.
RailMitra Relief:
Track train schedules and platform updates, so you’re not wandering underground longer than you need to.
5. Dwarka Sector 9 Metro Station (Delhi)
Commuters here have reported a lady in white chasing cars near the metro parking at night. Many cab drivers refuse to go alone near the station after 11 PM.
Sounds like something out of a horror movie, right?
