Nishatpura Railway Station
New Delhi: Nishatpura Railway Station in Bhopal has been grabbing the headlines for an unusual reason. Completed in June 2023, the station was built at a cost of around Rs 6 crore and has all the modern passenger amenities like platforms, lighting, seating, etc. However, the station is yet to become operational. With eerie silence during the day and a haunting darkness at night, the station has earned a reputation as Bhopal’s newest “haunted” location.
Talking to NavBharat Times, local resident Prem Prakash said that the station has been built beautifully, but it feels unsettling to visit after dark. With no trains, staff, or passengers, the station has started attracting people interested in paranormal activity or ghost-hunting, hoping for a thrill.
