Amazing Thread. Loved reading all the 13 pages of it at a go. Good experiences, spooky or not, loved most of them. Especially the picture of JOMZ Girl friend. That spooked everything out of me. Crazy Jomz.
Spook or not, but it did drive me crazy for a couple of days.
I was doing an extended shift at one of my previous employers, who had an office at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. It was beside or rather say constructed on land abetting the Graveyard (Punjagutta Graveyard). There are a lot spooky incidents connected to this graveyard, especially the main road. Will come to the main road incidents later. Hope Avinash (
mobike008) remembers the company I am speaking about.
Incident 1:
I was working on a major project, that was to be delivered for pre-release. As usual, I had to strech beyond my working hours to ensure the deliverables. For a couple of days, I had to strech beyond 12:00 with my team members to complete the pre-release task. Believe me or not, the place used to get spooky late in the night. Could be due to the imminent feel of a graveyard being beside the office. We used to sit on the 2nd floor, with a huge window opening directly towards the Graveyard. Never dared to go towards that side. I noticed this same thing happening the 1st day and it happened on the 2nd day too. Post 3rd day, I stopped working beyond my stipulated time and used to chuck out before the eeire hour.
So, here's what used to happen "Everyday, exactly at 12:00 there used to be a temporary disruption of power for a good 10-15 seconds, which we used to feel like 10-15 hours. Each passing second was like an hour for us. First day we did not think much and thought it could be co-incidence. But same thing for 3 days at a strech. Impossible. Same thing used to happen at 12:00 exactly, power used to disrupt and come back after a 10-15 seconds."
Post these eeire sessions, I stopped streching beyond 10:00. I used to chuck out by 10:00, no matter how important the work was.
Incident 2:
The owners of the property used to stay in the cellar with a seperate entrance to their house. It was said that the building was spooked. As far as I remember, The child of the owner was a bit mentally retarded (not to insult someone with this). He was the sort of kids, who look possessed. During the day time, he used to just shout something. During nights, especially when the time used to crawl towards the 12:00 mark, he used to scream and shout like crazy. His screams used to be heard till the 2nd floor. This used to scare us even more.
Incident 3:
The security guys had a couple of incidents to share too, where in they used to hear the other security calling them from other block and when they used to go there, it wasn't the case. In one of the cases, there was a security guard, who had joined the duty a couple of days ago. He was on the night duty and during on of his rounds, he felt someone hitting him hard on the back, something like a hard slap on his back. He immediatly turned back to see no one there.
Gathering all his might, he rushed down to meet the other security guard. He first thought that the other security guard might have pranked him. Upon reaching the other block and calling out the other security guard, he was surprised to see that the other security guard was on his daily night rounds checking the 2nd floor.
There is no way a person could have hit someone and run from one building to the other (which was a good 100 feet away) and climb to the second floor and reply back. From that day till I quit my job, did I see the new security guard back on duty at our office.

Now something about the main road.
If someone is familiar with Hyderabad and especially Banjara Hills Road No. 3, the road which goes from Nagarjuna Circle to Banjara Hills. The main road cuts through the Graveyard now. Earlier, the whole area was a graveyard and a road was cut through the graveyard, now dividing the graveyard into two parts. The strech, where the graveyard cuts into two is spooked and have experienced it.
This incident happened during the early 90's, when we were kids. We all, my parents, myself and my sister, were returning home at around 1:00 or 1:30 in the night after attending a function at one of our relatives place in Jubilee Hills. As soon as we reached this place, our car spluttered and all the lights stopped working all a sudden and after moving a couple of meters ahead, we noticed that the lights again started functioning like normal. This incident left us astonished.
