This establishment created a sensation amongst people in the year 2002, for its spine-chilling story. A thief had entered this house but to his shock, he found dead bodies of three women, a mother and her two daughters. The thief reported this to the police and upon further investigation, it was found that they had been dead for six months. The most horrifying twist in this story is that the neighbours claim to have seen the women around the house, and hence they did not suspect them of being dead.

Kerala, as we all know, is beautiful state with its lush green forests and mesmerizing backwaters. Some parts of this state also hold dark stories within them. Lakkidi Gateway is one of them. The legends say that during ancient times, a British professional had taken false credit for finding a way to Lakkidi. He killed a man named Karinthandan, who originally found the place. The spirit of Karinthandan was further bound to a tree, using a metal chain. Over the years the tree has been growing naturally and so has the metal chain! A spine-chilling phenomenon, that is better left unanswered.
Location: Wayanad District, Kerala
This is the story of Hari Singh, a CRPF was attacked and injured in 2013 by RPF personnel and TTEs in the railway station. Later, the man succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

Both ends of the railway station are usually deserted.

The bungalow was built and owned by a British professional in 1951. However, he had to leave for London as his wife and child were found mysteriously murdered.
