The story of the Aghori sages can be quite horrifying. Aghoris are known for their extreme and often macabre practices. They are said to live in cemeteries, eat human flesh (though this is more of a myth based on their association with corpses), and perform dark rituals. Their very existence and the tales associated with them are spine - chilling for many.
Yes, there's Kuldhara. The entire village was abandoned overnight. The story goes that the village was prosperous until a powerful minister took a liking to the village chief's daughter. When the chief refused to give his daughter to the minister, the minister threatened the village. In order not to face the wrath of the minister, the villagers left the village en masse, and it is believed that their spirits still haunt the place. People often report hearing whispers and seeing strange lights in the ruins of Kuldhara.
Another story might be about lost luggage. A traveler took an Air India flight and upon arrival, his luggage was nowhere to be found. He had to go through a lot of hassle to report it, and then faced days of waiting with no updates from the airline. He had important items in his luggage, and the lack of proper support from Air India in finding it was really a horror story for him.

Well, one common horror is the overcrowding. Trains, for instance, can be so full that you can barely move. I once took a train journey and was shoved into a compartment that was already overflowing. People were sitting on the floors, in the aisles, and it was extremely uncomfortable. It was like being in a sardine can.
The Dumas Beach in Gujarat is also considered spooky. There are tales of black magic being practiced here in the past. People claim to have seen strange apparitions and felt an eerie presence. Some say that the beach was once a burial ground, and the spirits of the dead still linger. At night, the sound of the waves along with the desolate atmosphere adds to the feeling of horror.
