The answer to this question is "NO", the Bhangarh Fort is not Haunted In fact it is a really beautiful fort one should visit to see the ruins and scenic beauty around it.

The haunting story attached to this fort makes this place more haunting :P I believe the haunting story is kept to keep the tourist curious about this place so that local people can earn their livelihood from visitors.

But one should follow the government guidelines and don't try to breach the rules to enter the fort after 5 in the evening.

There are several numbers big Banyan Trees with their roots entangled with each other, making the place already Haunted.

Why Bhangarh Fort is the most Haunting Place in Asia?

Tourist Guides and the local villagers will warn you to enter the Fort after 7PM, although it is not scientifically proved about any paranormal activities inside the fort. But the local villagers have few scary stories to share. Also, the Archeological Survey of India has put a disclaimer at the entrance to warn the visitors not to enter the fort at night.

Let's see their stories behind the scary Fort:

1. The story of Bala Nath:

The Fort was built in the land of Sage Bala Nath. He granted permission to King Madho Singh to built the fort under the condition that its shadow should not fall over the sage's house.

But later the King expanded the fort without realizing the sage's condition and the shadow of the fort started reaching the saint's house. Since then the Fort has been cursed. 

2. The story of Princess Ratnavati:

According to the locals, Princess Ratnavati was very beautiful. There was a 'tantrik'/megician, who wanted to get her. He tried all his ways to get her. Once he put a spell in the oil of Princess. The oil smell could attract the Princess towards Tantrik. 

The Princess caught this trick and threw away the oil in a big boulder. And he was crushed under that big boulder.

It is said that just before he died, he cursed the place and since then the place is haunted and cursed. Every house inside the area is roofless. According to locals, it is impossible to build roofs.

It is said that the temple at the top of the hill was the house of the 'Tantrik'.

3. The Cursed Land:

Another story is that the land is cursed and the entire city wiped out. There are soules of dead roam around the fort premises during the night.

It is said that few strange mishappening has happened with few tourists in the past.

Although it is not witnessed by anyone. We visited the place in the afternoon and it was completely normal. There was a normal crowd. There were villagers with their shops and stalls of the food items. It is completely safe to travel the place.
