“FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)”

 

Q.1 Should I believe everything I see online about haunted places

Ans.1 Not really. Many things you see in videos are made to look scary or exciting. But real haunted places are usually quiet, and the stories are hidden, not shouted.

In this blog, I haven’t copied from others or used scary drama; I’ve followed real signs, local stories, and what the place truly felt like.

“If you are only here to scroll, you might miss the real soul of the place”

Q.2 What if my phone dies in the middle of the haunted trail

Ans.2 That’s a real danger. Haunted places like Lambi Dehar have zero network, and phones often shut down, without warning, maybe due to cold, fear, or just dead batteries.

So don’t believe only in your phone.

Before you go, write down: 

•Write 2 emergency contact numbers.

Name and Number of your driver or guide. And keep that small paper in your bag or back pocket, just in case

Q.3 Would you consider it safe to be there alone even during the day?

Ans. 3 Reviewed personally, the answer is no, not alone.  

Even when the sun is shining bright, the area has a strange, unsettling allure. The path is fragmented, there’s no reception, and the quiet is way too much.

People who have gone solo say they felt a presence the entire time. One guy told me he began to hear deliberately paced footfalls behind him. But it kept happening.

If you have to go, make sure you are with someone. You are not rewarded, in any way, for attempts at foolish bravery in this area.

Q.4 Why do locals avoid the area after sunset?

Ans.4 They say, “The place is quiet, but something speaks from within.

• ” Even in 2025, locals avoid the mines after dark, not just because of ghost stories, but due to a deep-rooted discomfort passed down through generations. The path is also unsafe and unlit, making it risky at night.

Q.5 What should I carry if I plan to visit during the day?

Ans.5 A fully charged phone + power bank

1. Offline Google Map (till George Everest)
2. Water bottle + dry snack
3. Torch/flashlight, even in the day
4. Good trekking shoes (slippery terrain)

And most importantly — someone you trust.

Because this isn’t a place where you want to feel alone.

Before You Scroll Away…

 Have you ever walked where 50,000 souls coughed their last breath?  Not every haunted place screams.

Some just wait. Patiently. Between broken paths and fog. Ghosts don’t always show up in pictures.

Read it as someone who’s about to hear something they weren’t meant to.
