Lothian Cemetery
haunted places in Delhi

Located on Lothian road, It is half a kilometer away from kashmiri gate is one of the most haunted cemetery and also one of very few haunted places in Delhi.This christian cemetery is famous for many ghost stories. Visitors have often seen the ghost of headless person wandering near graves. Legends say, this person was once a  young soldier who got betrayed by his lover and cut his head. One can see him on new moon's night as he walks past the cemetery.(source-wikipedia)

Such sightings of ghosts are very common, especially in cemetries. When all cemetries are claimed to be house to many wandering spirits, why particularly point out lothian cemetry??Cemetries are just places for the bodies of the ceased to rest in peace.Also this story of a soldier has been included into the stories of the lothian cemetry just because the dead warriors romantic story will lure more visitors to that cemetry for unknown reasons.Popularising cemetries simply have no use in creating a sense of fear in people because regardless of these scary stories,people will still go to the cemetry to pay their respect to their loved ones.This is my take on this issue.

  1. this claim of ghost sightings is nothing but lore that are passed by the people residing nearby. it is not to be believed by rationales.

  2. ghost sightings are found to be on their high in cemetry areas. so this is not new and to create hype there is this story about warrior and all..

  3. cemetry is a place that houses the dead. there is no reason to these ghost sightings. sounds like imagination..

  4. many stories claim that there will be ghost sghting near the cemetries. so these are baseless and are raised to increase our fear..
