"Haunted Places in Karachi"
Karachi is a city with lights on the street, but it does get scary at night. 

That said, here are some haunted places in Karachi with famous horror stories and that you should [or should not] visit: 

Mohatta Palace
The palace was built by Rajasthani businessmen back in 1927. It was a summer house for his family and after the partition, the Pakistani Government took control of the palace. 

Now, it is an art museum for the public.

Although there are no legends attached to the Palace, there are incidents in this palace filled with horror stories – where visitors, including the staff and gatekeeper, have witnessed moving objects and heard conversations inside the palace’s rooms when no one was there. Legend has it, some objects in the museum change their position before dawn.

Karsaz Road
Cemeteries are creepy, but who would have imagined an entire road being haunted by a witch. The famous ‘Karsaz Witch’ is not unknown to Karachittes. 

According to the story, a newlywed couple was driving on Karsaz Road and they faced a terrible accident and died on the spot. Ever since the accident, there are countless events where people have witnessed a woman in a red dress with twisted feet walking aimlessly on the road.

The Karsaz Witch tries to approach people whose vehicle would unexpectedly stop in the middle of the night. She has also been captured in CCTV footage.

Chowkandi Graveyard at Highway
It goes without saying that the ancient Chowkandi Graveyard –  located near the National Highway in Karachi – makes a famous horror story in Pakistan. According to some researchers, it is the oldest cemeteries, dating back to the 15 century AD. The graveyard is included in a historical site. But, no one dares to visit them after sunset.

As a whole, it is a beautiful place for attracting tourists. University students visit these graveyards in the morning or noon.

Those who have explored the graveyard at night encountered strange activities. The locals would hear voices coming out from the graveyard at 03:00 AM and shadowy creatures creeping within these graveyards.

Shireen Cinema 
Situated in North Karachi and now it is completely closed as the staff and visitors witnessed supernatural activities inside the cinema.

According to some sources, they heard weird noises in empty rooms and constant talking of people in the back row when no one was there. Dark things walk in front of them and creep around the walls. Such incidents led the Government to shut it down permanently.
