Delhi Cantonment<\/h3>\n

Located in southwestern part of the city, Delhi Cantonment is said to be one of the most haunted places in Delhi<\/a>. The commonest spooky thing that people have encountered over here is a middle-aged lady in white sari asking for lift and that too, well after 12 AM at night. People are often known to get really afraid and start racing ahead before\u00a0they see \u2013 to their utter dismay \u2013 that the same lady is racing ahead of their vehicles without apparently breaking any sweat. In an area such as the cantonment, which always stays dark \u2013 especially at that time in the night \u2013 it can be quite an unnerving experience. It is said that the spirit in question is that of a lady who was murdered years back when she attempted to hitchhike to the Cantonment.<\/p>\n

House Number W-3 at Greater Kailash<\/h3>\n
