Greetings o/

The tournament has almost reached its end, and so has this series (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4).

But, is an end really an end? Say, end of life? This final list suggests the otherwise....



1) Himalayas: Home to Yeti, the Snow Monster




Who can tell what lurks in the uninhabited mystic peaks of Himalayas? For long, abnormal beings have been said to reside here. This includes a Yeti, the snowman monster who dwells in the Himalayas of Tibet and Nepal.



People who have traversed here have witnessed strange happenings like red snowfall with red spots scattered all over the ice. Due to the ardours terrain, there have been many who have passed away in a desire to reach the summit. Folks from the Indian Army too have reported sceptre visions of dead climbers and soldiers.


2) Banni Grasslands Reserve: Strange Dancing Lights



Banni Grasslands Reserve in the Rann of Kutch lends its own charm. Since centuries locals have claimed to have spotted few mysterious dancing lights. Labelled as Chir Batti, they are alleged to be as fierce as a mercury lamp and can apparently change their colour into blue, red, yellow to a pear- shaped moving ball. Sometimes they are still and other times they move at a fast pace.

There have been visitors and soldiers who complained that these lights seemed to have followed them. Scientists refute paranormal activities here and believe that the occurrences are due to oxidation of methane from the marshes.


3) Hanging Pillar: Temple Complex Stands On The Pillar



Located in the Anantapur district in southern Andhra Pradesh, the hanging Pillar of Lepakshi is a mystery indeed. Built in the 16th-century temple of stone in Vijayanagar style, you can actually swipe a piece of cloth or paper mid-air that separates the ground and the pillar.



As a matter of fact, a curious British Engineer tried to figure out the secret of its support, consequently dislodging it a bit in the process. Some believe that the entire complex stands on the pillar.


4) Kukkarahalli Lake: Anonymous Figure Sitting on the Back Seat



Bikers who have crossed Kukkarahalli Lake, Mysore during late hours of the night send a warning. For some unexplainable reason, the engine stops working till the entire stretch is passed. Or worse, if you are a lone rider, you might just experience someone sitting on the back of your bike!


5) Jamali-Kamali Masji😛 Shrill Cries in the Night



According to tales, two noble Sufi saints named Jamali and Kamali were buried at this mosque in Delhi. What would have otherwise been a tranquil place of worship was said to be troubled by some jihns who haunt it.



People have claimed to undergo some strange occurrences; some have been slapped by invisible hands while some were chased by the wind. You can also hear cries in the night which is why the mosque is always avoided post sunset.
