Mahim – Nasserwanj Wadi
Nasserwanj Wadi is very near to Mahim railway station and is believed to be haunted by the spirit of the murdered owner who was brutally burnt to death. No local likes to venture after midnight. The locals believe that people get possessed by the spirit and are tormented if anybody crosses path with the murdered owner of the property.
Folklore has it that the property once belonged to a Parsi gentleman called Nasser, who was brutally burnt in a cabin close to a well inside the compound. “The gruesome murder was committed around 16 years ago, but the Parsi landlord still takes his daily stroll over here after midnight, keeping a watch on his property. He is known to torment anyone who crosses his path.” alleged Francis, a resident. “More than seven people have lost their lives here, within a span of one year after the Parsi landlord died, so we concealed the well under a pile of rubble. But this has not really helped,” he alleged.

Colaba
Mukesh Textile Mills – Mukesh Textile Mills was shut down due to severe losses resulting from a huge fire incident. Since then this secluded and dilapidated place has become a hot spot for shooting haunted scenes in a movie. The movie artists are not comfortable working late in the evenings. It is rumored that one of the female actors was possessed by a spirit who started talking in a male voice. Food items, water bottles, film shooting gear have been ransacked on numerous occasions as reported by various film crews. Sudden epileptic attacks of the members of the film crews have also been reported many a times.
It was also a hot spot of criminal activities during gang war times. Numerous murders are supposed to have occurred in the mills and the bodies disposed of in the adjacent Arabian Sea. Quite possible the spirits of the deceased and the innocent wander around this property.
Thane
Vrindavan Society – It’s said that a man had committed suicide in one of the buildings in Vrindavan Society (Bldg. No.66 B). The security guards patrolling the area around have come across weird happenings since then. They have been slapped hard on their face in isolation and have been spooked by ghostly whispers during patrolling at night. Bollywood ishtyle!
Goregaon – Aarey Milk colony
In the dead of the night, it requires sheer guts to cross the dimly-lit Aarey Road, which connects Goregaon to Powai. Danger lurks not only from the leopards who come down from the National Park to feed on easy prey, but also from the paranormal. Old man disappearing into thin air, woman in white saree with a child disappearing, a child crossing the road and then disappearing, spirit of an injured woman chasing, etc. have been doing the rounds. Who knows how much of that is true but it certainly looks haunted in the late evenings.
SEEPZ – Andheri East
St. John’s Baptist Church, a centuries old Portuguese church was once an abode to the spirit of a young bride who used to torment people coming in the vicinity of the church. Just one prayer meet (mass) is held in a year. The exorcism in 1977 to get rid of the ghost was reportedly a terrifying experience for all those present that moonless night.
“As the priest read lines from the Bible, we first heard manic laughter, and then loud wailing. The sobbing of the unknown voice finally stopped, and suddenly there was a loud splashing sound from the pond next to the church. Everything then fell silent. The next day, all the fishes in the pond were found dead and floating on the surface,’’ said PS Ganesan, who has recorded his experiences in his book, Ghosts, Occults & Exorcists: True and Real Experiences.
The priest later told him that it was the ghost of a newly married woman who had either committed suicide or was murdered around 300 years ago. But after this, she was never seen or heard again.

After 10 years of marriage, they both separated. Dimple left with her two daughters. From there, Rajesh Khanna saw his downfall. Success also left with them.

The story took a bizarre turn when he first fell sick and then never recovered. He died in 2012.
