Ep. 59 - Bhangarh Fort: India’s Forbidden City After Dark

There’s a place in India where staying after dark isn’t just a warning—

…it’s the law.

Bhangarh Fort, located in Rajasthan, was once a thriving city built in the 16th century under the Mughal Empire. Designed for royalty and protected by the surrounding Aravalli Hills, it was never meant to fail.

But something happened.

Some say it was war. Others point to political collapse.

And then there’s the story that refuses to disappear—

a curse.

A princess.
 A sorcerer.
 A warning spoken with a final breath.

Not long after, the city was abandoned… and never rebuilt.

Today, Bhangarh remains one of the most haunted places in the world. Visitors are allowed during the day—but once the sun sets, entry is strictly forbidden by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Those who have stayed after dark report whispers, footsteps, and the feeling of being watched.

Others refuse to talk about it at all.

So what really happened at Bhangarh Fort?

And why does a place abandoned centuries ago still carry a rule no one wants to break?

🎧 In this episode of Veil of Echoes, we step inside the history, the legend, and the unsettling experiences tied to India’s most infamous haunted location.

SPEAKER_02 0:35

There's a place in India where the government has made something illegal. Not because it's dangerous, not because it's unstable. But because of what happens there after dark.

SPEAKER_00 1:02

Empty.

SPEAKER_03 1:04

But at sunset, everything changes. Visitors are forced to leave, gates are locked, and no one is allowed to stay.

SPEAKER_02 1:16

Because the story goes, this place was cursed.

SPEAKER_00 1:20

A city abandoned overnight.

SPEAKER_03 1:23

And whatever remained never left. People who've tried to stay say they hear things. Voices, footsteps, something moving through empty ruins.

SPEAKER_02 1:38

And some say the real reason no one stays is because something there doesn't want them to leave. Welcome to Veil of Echoes, the podcast where true crime and the unexplained collide, where some stories are buried in history and others that never really leave.

SPEAKER_02 5:28

unknown 5:33

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 5:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

Siri, you never come down here.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

Go take your horny ass upstairs!

SPEAKER_00 5:41

Here comes Jake. I didn't get that. Oh my god. Take your horny ass upstairs. We gotta change her name.

SPEAKER_02 5:56

We didn't get so much.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

Somebody's over there on their AI, like, what the fuck are they trying to do over there?

SPEAKER_03 6:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

All I got was get your horny ass upstairs. I didn't catch that. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:11

She caught all of it.

SPEAKER_02 6:12

Alright. Moving on. Now let's go to India. To a place where staying after dark isn't just a warning. It's the law. Bangar Fort sits in the state of Rajasthan, India, nestled between the Aravali hills, surrounded by dry land and silence. But it wasn't always like this.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

The city was built in the late 1500s, around 1573, by Raja Bhagwan Das, a ruler in the Mogul Empire.

SPEAKER_03 6:49

It was later established as a royal settlement for his son, Madho Singh, a place designed not just for defense, but for living.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

And for a time, Bangar thrived. Markets lined the streets. Temples stood throughout the city, homes filled with families. It was alive.

SPEAKER_00 7:12

The fort itself was strategically built, protected by natural hills on three sides, with massive gates, stone pathways, and structures that still stand today.

SPEAKER_02 7:29

And this wasn't a place that was supposed to fail. It wasn't abandoned because it couldn't survive.

SPEAKER_00 7:36

In fact, for decades, it did exactly what it was built to do.

SPEAKER_03 7:41

Which is what makes what happened next so hard to explain.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

Because Bangar didn't slowly disappear, but it didn't fade over time. It ended. Not long after the legend of the curse, Bangar began to decline.

SPEAKER_00 7:58

By the late 1600s, the region faced real documented threats.

SPEAKER_03 8:04

Political instability, power struggles, and shifting control across the Mongol Empire.

SPEAKER_02 8:11

Then came something more direct.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

An invasion led by forces from Jaipur, targeting the city.

SPEAKER_03 8:18

And unlike the legend, this part is real.

SPEAKER_02 8:23

Bangar was attacked, but overtaken.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

Structures damaged, defenses broken.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

And whatever stability the city had left was gone.

SPEAKER_02 8:35

But cities recover from invasions. They rebuild.

SPEAKER_03 8:41

Life starts again.

SPEAKER_02 8:43

But Bangar didn't.

SPEAKER_03 8:51

Less activity, fewer people.

SPEAKER_02 8:54

Until eventually, no one stayed.

SPEAKER_00 8:57

And that's the part historians struggle to explain.

SPEAKER_03 9:01

Because there wasn't just one event.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

Not one disaster, but not one reason.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

It was complete abandonment.

SPEAKER_02 9:13

Left exactly as it was, home still standing, temples untouched, and structures still intact.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

No rebuilding efforts? No permanent return.

SPEAKER_03 9:25

Nothing to suggest people ever plan to come back.

SPEAKER_02 9:29

Which raises the question, but why not?

SPEAKER_00 9:34

Is it political? Economic?

SPEAKER_03 9:38

Or something harder to explain.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Because when you look at what happened, it almost feels like the city wasn't just defeated, it was left behind on purpose. So it says about this curse. The most popular legend states that a tantric named Singhhiya fell in love with a princess. He cast a spell on the oil she was meant to use, aiming to make her fall for him. However, um, the princess discovered this and through the oil, which crushed the tantric. Before dying, the tantric cursed the entire city, claiming it would be destroyed, leaving no inhabitants. Another legend tells of a hermit named Guru Guru Balu Nath, who originally allowed the construction of the fort, provided its shadow never reached his retreat. When a successor added columns that cast a shadow on his home, he cursed the town.

SPEAKER_03 10:37

Well, that that sounds about right.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

So yeah, that's interesting. Today, Bangar Fort still stands, broken, silent.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

It's now maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India and open to visitors during the day.

SPEAKER_02 11:04

And at first, it feels like any other historical site.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

But as the sun starts to set, everything changes.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Guards begin clearing the area, and visitors are told to leave.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

Not recommended, not advised. There are posted warnings, official signs stating clearly no one is permitted on the grounds between sunset and sunrise.

SPEAKER_02 11:51

But of course, over the years, people have ignored that.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

Curiosity, thorough seeking, skepticism.

SPEAKER_03 12:00

People who wanted to prove that there was nothing there.

SPEAKER_02 12:05

So some of them stayed anyway.

SPEAKER_00 12:08

And many of them reported similar experiences.

SPEAKER_03 12:13

Footsteps in places where no one else was walking. Voices that were just out of reach.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

Whispers that carried through empty structures.

SPEAKER_03 12:25

Not loud enough to understand, but clear enough to know that they were there.

SPEAKER_02 12:31

And some describe the feeling of being watched.

SPEAKER_03 12:36

Like something was moving just outside of their line of sight.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

And others reported something even stranger.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

Shadows moving against the direction of the light.

unknown 12:52

God dang it.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Siri, go away!

SPEAKER_00 12:56

I might have to get her upstairs and shut that door on.

SPEAKER_02 13:02

In a presence that didn't feel human.

SPEAKER_03 13:12

Not because they couldn't explain it, uh but because they wouldn't.

SPEAKER_02 13:17

And then there are the claims that some who stayed overnight never returned at all.

SPEAKER_00 13:24

Now there's no verified record of that.

SPEAKER_03 13:28

No confirmed disappearances tied directly to the site.

SPEAKER_02 13:32

Just stories, repeated enough that no one wants to test them.

SPEAKER_00 13:37

Even locals avoid the area after dark.

SPEAKER_03 13:40

Not out of superstition alone, but out of respect.

SPEAKER_02 13:45

Because whether it's history, legend, or something in between, Bangar is one of the only places in the world where even the government says something isn't right here. And whatever it is, it's still there.

SPEAKER_03 14:00

So do you guys think places like Bangar are truly haunted because of what people experience there?

SPEAKER_02 14:08

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:09

I mean I do.

SPEAKER_02 14:11

Well, I mean, right here it says following the curse, it is said that the fort in the city were destroyed with people perishing within a year, leading to the town's abandonment by 1783. Local folklore speaks of ghosts, strange sounds, music, and woman's cries at night.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

Now that's fucking creepy.

SPEAKER_02 14:28

I hate it when it's the women crying. I know.

unknown 14:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 14:30

Reminds me of that part of uh Red Dead Redemption.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

Little earring.

SPEAKER_02 14:34

That ghost lady crying in the swamp.

SPEAKER_03 14:37

Or was what is it? Left is it Left for Dead that has the witch zombie in it?

SPEAKER_00 14:44

I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_03 14:45

One of them has like a witch zombie and she cries when you walk up to her and it's fucking weird and creepy.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

The Witcher, it has a ghost like that. It's like one of your first few missions you do, and man.

SPEAKER_03 14:58

Oh, there she is.

SPEAKER_00 14:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:00

If they really want to creep you out, just just have like a ghost crying. That's the creepiest thing a ghost can do is cry.

SPEAKER_00 15:06

Yeah, a little girl crying as a ghost. There you go. Nope. Nothing's creepier than a girl child.

SPEAKER_03 15:12

Like that'll really get me out of there really fast.

SPEAKER_02 15:15

Hell no. I would yeah, I would pee myself.

SPEAKER_00 15:18

She's like, come play, come play with me. I will kick you down them stairs.

SPEAKER_03 15:22

Be like, uh no. Bitch, you're gonna be going right down them steps if you don't stop that crying bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 15:28

It always reminds me of uh The Haunted of Hill House when she was younger, she used to say she sent she seen the bent neck lady. Uh and the whole time she was seeing herself after she committed suicide by hanging. Uh that was fucking wild.

SPEAKER_02 15:45

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

But yeah, that definitely if it was cursed for sure, then yeah, it's gonna stay haunted because people died there unexpectedly from whatever But it's like what, two there was two legends of curses. From two A wizard and a And that's a thing, like what if I mean, it could have been cursed twice, double cursed, and that's why people are fucking haunting that place.

SPEAKER_02 16:05

Yeah. It's a combination of things. What people inexperience are these legends.

SPEAKER_00 16:10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:12

Because anytime tragedy strikes people and you go when you're not ready, I think that has the means to be like a full layout for them staying behind and haunting places.

SPEAKER_02 16:25

Yes. So would you guys visit it?

SPEAKER_00 16:28

Yeah, stay the night, sure.

SPEAKER_02 16:30

Well, like if the sun started to set, would you stay or leave? Oh, I'd stay.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

I'd give one quick Hail Mary and see what goes on through the I want to know what the fuck's going on there.

SPEAKER_02 16:40

I mean it'd be kind of create like seeing the sunset, and we're like, oh shit, why'd I do this?

SPEAKER_00 16:50

I'm forever your vessel. Amen.

unknown 16:54

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 16:55

Let's go. Those ghosts hear that, they're gonna be like, alright, well, I guess we're done for the night.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

Yeah, this is interesting. Um, I've never heard of Bangar fort before.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

Meaning sounds like a fish.

SPEAKER_01 17:08

It does. It's like the garage.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

Yeah, like the gar, yeah. That thing, that poor thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:12

Yeah, which did you see what's happening in the Ozarks right now? Yes, there's like a crazy ass person skinning fish. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Just skinning them?

SPEAKER_03 17:20

Yes. There's a person like or persons carving into fish down in the Ozarks. What poor fish. Saying fuck the Missouri Department of Conservation. Like they literally carved FDC in there. I will find them and carve it into their faces. That's what I would love to do. Probably. They probably did something that somebody didn't like because you know, unfortunately, even fish have to be protected, people.

SPEAKER_00 17:45

I'm sorry, but fishing and hunting, I don't care if it's for food, if it's for sport. Fishing is one thing, because the fish, that idiot bites your hook and you pull it out. But you're hunting an animal that's just un unsuspectingly being murdered. You can say it how you want to, but that's what's happening.

SPEAKER_03 18:02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 18:03

That's sick and twisted for you want to stalk something and kill it.

SPEAKER_03 18:07

That's why I don't like hunting.

SPEAKER_00 18:09

Yes, trophy hunters are the worst because most of them don't even eat the meat, they just eat what they want off of it. I hate trophy hunters.

SPEAKER_03 18:14

It's like I understand hunting deer, I get it, because they're it it they do overpopulate. But like these hunters that go to like fucking other countries and you know, hunt fucking tigers. Tigers and giraffes and you're a piece of shit if you do that.

SPEAKER_00 18:31

Oh yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_03 18:32

I don't care. I'm not sorry.

SPEAKER_00 18:33

That's what I'm saying. Like, I like food, I like meat, but I just think hunting is like come on now.

SPEAKER_02 18:40

I mean, I can see it if it if you're hunting for food. Well, even just But I mean, I'm not a hunter. I don't even fish, okay?

SPEAKER_00 18:50

I feel bad putting the little My thing is like you can't say those people are so distant in their lips.

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Yeah, like there was um not too long ago, there was an alligator that was killed in Florida because it was in a local pond. Oh yeah, that's what it's I'm sorry, but Florida is full of alligators. Get the fuck over it.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Right.

SPEAKER_03 19:09

Don't live there if you don't want to deal with them. Like if you do come across them, just leave them alone. They literally they will literally look at you and walk away. So I've seen videos. They want nothing to do with you, but yet unless they feel threatened, then yeah. Yeah. But yet you still have these people out here that are like, oh, I'm gonna kill it and skin it and put it up.

SPEAKER_00 19:30

I hate when they use the word infested. Infested is my least in favorite. Like, it's not infested.

SPEAKER_03 19:36

Somebody is like, I'm gonna get in the ocean, it's infested with sharks. It's not infested with sharks. The sharks have been there for that's their home. Millions of years. Get the fuck over it.

SPEAKER_00 19:48

Like, if you build your house and they come in your house, then your house is infested. Like, yeah, find a way to get them out. You don't gotta murder them and be like, oh well, we can't swim here, it's not safe. We gotta double down the shark population. Like, no, you really don't. You just need to go swim somewhere else where it's safer.

SPEAKER_03 20:03

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 20:04

There's so many other places. Like, I like the ocean too, but if I knew it was infested with sharks, then I just gonna get, you know. Like shit, that one pool we were in was still close enough we could see the water from the pool, so it's like this is a win-win situation. Yeah. I mean, it it's just one of those things where I'm sorry, but But I must only go like 10 to 12 feet out in like a ramp pool right here.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

I, you know, my first time going to the Florida with Caleb's family, I was bumped by a shark numerous times. But at the same time, I told myself I'm in their territory. I'm in their area, I'm in their home. But some people are like, no, that doesn't work like that.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

And we get nibbled on by minnows. I'm like, alright, we gotta fucking kill all these minnows because I keep getting my toes.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 20:54

I'm just like, you little bastard, leave me alone. You go over there and I'll go over here. Don't follow me.

SPEAKER_02 20:59

Smell. Sound like a bulldog.

SPEAKER_00 21:01

She smells like a bulldog, guys. You do smell like a bulldog sometimes. I just want a bulldog, a pug, and a French bulldog.

SPEAKER_03 21:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:10

Will they all fit in this chair with me? Two of them. The other one, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 21:14

I don't recommend French Bulldogs. No French. I don't know, they're so cute, but they are riddled with health issues. Riddled. Like they um they were bright to look like that. Yeah, I know. And once you breed them to have a short snout like that, their breathing is Well yeah, bulldogs are bad.

SPEAKER_02 21:36

Our bully breeds.

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:39

But it leaves no room for filtration for all the biggest. He had a hell of an underbite, but That's why. He had an underbite. Yeah, he's always like Jennics and his teeth are like almost perfectly on top of each other, except his big canines.

SPEAKER_01 21:56

What was the first dog? I'm curious.

SPEAKER_00 22:00

I know those ones, but the ones in Mexico are some of the oldest breeds around.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:05

Yeah, I don't know like what they would consider the first domesticated domestic.

SPEAKER_03 22:13

Um, the first dog breed is believed to be the Saluki, one of the oldest known domesticated dog breeds d uh origin originating over 5,000 years ago in the Middle East. Dogs were domesticated from a now extinct population of wolves between 27 and 40,000 years ago.

SPEAKER_00 22:35

That's why they're not extinct, they just got bred into whatever the fuck we have now.

SPEAKER_03 22:39

They just evolved into the earliest undisputed dog remains dating back to around 17,500 years.

SPEAKER_00 22:47

I say evolve, I say human interference evolution.

SPEAKER_02 22:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

I like that. That's a good line.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

Hmm. What do they look like? Does that have a trademark? Let's see here.

SPEAKER_00 22:59

Does it look like a tiger?

SPEAKER_02 23:00

Huh. Awww. That's different. That kind of looks like a greyhound with long ears and um like long-haired ears.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

I was gonna say, ain't that dog still around though? Yep.

SPEAKER_02 23:15

Huh. Awww. That's cute.

SPEAKER_00 23:19

What is Berlin?

SPEAKER_02 23:21

Oh, um Lady and the Tramp. What are those called?

SPEAKER_00 23:25

A cocker spaniel, but yes. Isn't there because Berlin, she was like a little. Like a full that thing looks like it'd be like a full-blown.

SPEAKER_03 23:33

Yeah, she had longer hair though.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

Like it looked like minor cocker spaniels were a thing. That'd be a large one.

SPEAKER_03 23:38

Yeah, because Lady was a cocker spaniel and tramp is a um schnauzer.

SPEAKER_02 23:42

Awww. Schnauzer. I love that movie.

SPEAKER_03 23:45

So Luki's are best known are best for active owners who can provide daily exercise, mental stimulation, and a secure environment.

SPEAKER_02 23:53

So they're one of the oldest breeds? Like huh.

SPEAKER_03 23:57

They are a highly athletic dog originally bred for hunting by sight. Known for their incredible speed, endurance, and grace.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

Looks like a greyhound. Yeah. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 24:08

And greyhounds are fucking bad. Do you guys get greyhounds? Mm-hmm. Yep. We have a couple that um one of theirs used to be a uh a racing Italian greyhound.

SPEAKER_01 24:23

Aww.

SPEAKER_03 24:23

That they rescued. And that thing will fucking bolt. I mean.

SPEAKER_01 24:28

Where are you going?

SPEAKER_03 24:30

You compare it to a cheetah.

SPEAKER_01 24:32

Good god.

SPEAKER_02 24:33

I mean, I knew they were fast. Isn't that like greyhound busts and skunk?

SPEAKER_00 24:37

I know. I want to get one of those little hot wheel fucking speed trackers and catch Katana when she's coming around the house. Gee, she's pretty quick. She is. I don't know how to do it. She probably gets thirty. She probably gets 30. She's fast. Because Gamora's getting so fast. She's got longer legs too. And she's still young.

SPEAKER_03 24:54

Yeah. That's what Luna did to me this morning. She I was forgot my car key. I came back in and she was right at the doorstep. As soon as I opened the door, she was out. I was like, fuck.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 25:07

And then my neighbors across the street were outside and she's obsessed with them. She saw them and she was gone. I was like, I I couldn't even I was just kind of standing at the doorway and I was like, a sucker. It was like, what the fuck just happened? Pretty much. And she just was gone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:29

That's funny.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

And on Monday, we reach the final chapter of the Ted Bundy case.

SPEAKER_03 26:16

It all leads here.

SPEAKER_02 26:18

The trial, the attention, and the man the world thought they understood.

SPEAKER_00 26:23

Now exposed in ways no one expected.

SPEAKER_03 26:27

Confessions begin, details surface. And the truth becomes harder to ignore.

SPEAKER_00 26:34

But even at the end, was that katana?

SPEAKER_02 26:41

She can't come down the stairs.

SPEAKER_00 26:43

Aww. Wait.

SPEAKER_02 26:45

SPEAKER_01 27:07

SPEAKER_02 27:17

SPEAKER_00 27:20

But even at the end.

SPEAKER_02 27:21

Oh, okay. Did you already read that?

SPEAKER_00 27:23

I was in the middle of it when she came down here.

unknown 27:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 27:27

Telling everyone she's horny. I saw her, she's like looking around like this.

SPEAKER_00 27:31

Like goo guy kind of happy.

SPEAKER_01 27:36

Oh shoot.

SPEAKER_00 27:38

Okay. But even at the end?

SPEAKER_03 27:41

Bundy controlled the narrative.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

Saying just enough to keep people listening. And in his final moments, he didn't just leave behind answers. He left behind questions. Until next time, keep your ears open.
