Agrasen ki Baoli, a historical stepwell in the heart of Delhi, is said to be haunted due to its eerie atmosphere and mysterious past. Built during the Mahabharata era by King Agrasen, the stepwell was once filled with black water, which, according to legend, lured people to commit suicide by drowning, casting a spell of gloom over the area. Visitors have reported feeling a strange presence, hearing unexplained whispers, and sensing an overwhelming feeling of dread, especially as they descend deeper into the stepwell. Despite its beauty, these haunted stories have added an element of dread and intrigue to this ancient monument.
