Whether its an unsolved mystery, a popular misconception, or sometimes just a big hoax urban legends are an inevitable part of any culture. But, plenty of these classic myths are actually true — and the truth is often more ghastly and macabre than the fiction. Even more interesting is how some of these fables originated. Myths have to start somewhere, and oftentimes it’s a dark chapter in history or a strange effect of our own minds. Sometimes, the boogeyman is real. And, that face you saw in the bathroom mirror? You weren’t imagining it.Here are one of the most popular urban legends still being told:-
"Dreams are good as well as bad, some are horrified as hell and some are beautiful as heaven."India is a place of dreams, where many dreams are untold. It's a place where many stories are as spooking as a haunted bad dream. There is a tale in regard to the fort which is now called as " Bhoot Bangla " ( House of Ghosts ).
It is the familiar story of Bhanghar Fort, Rajasthan, India. It was fabricated by Madho Singh in 1613 AD. It is an abandoned area, as the inhabitants living near by fort, has consolidated their fear of "the unknown". It is said that the fear of unknown is even worse than the fear of known.
The story of Bhangarh is the tale of love and curse.
It is believed that there was a priest who was a wizard in black magic. He was grabbed with the charm of the emperor's daughter, Ratnavati. When priest saw Ratnavati buying an Ittar (Scent), he devised a plan, to make her fall for him. He changed the pure Ittar with witchcraft Ittar. After applying the impure scent, the princess would have fallen in love with the priest.
But, it is said that nothing can be achieved if it's not yours. Same happened with the awful priest. When he was contaminating the scent, princess saw him doing all the unacceptable things. She threw the contaminated Ittar, and it was thrown on the boulders (Large Rocks) nearby.
As a result, boulder started rolling towards the priest, as they were in love with him. Priest was crushed by huge boulders. While taking his last breathe, he cursed that Bhangarh would be destroyed soon and no one will be able to live within it's precincts.
Around 10,000 people were living at the fort. Every human being including Princess were killed.
In the present state,the fort is ruined, and the people living nearby fort, have witnessed the ghosts of the princess and the priest. It is believed that the immortal priest has imprisoned the soul of princess.
He make love with the immortal princess, and the howling and screaming sounds are herd by inhabitants are the mourning of the princess.
She is caged since then, and don't know for how many more decades.
