Trip Report: 06May12; India' s most haunted place returns - Tunnel16/103



Tunnel 16: There is hope, beyond the haunting.
Exposure: 1/8 | Aperture: f/3.5 | ISO:500 | Focal length: 18mm | Lens: Nikkor 18-105 Kit lens.
The image is not of a ghost, but a real person - walking down the tunnel, giving me the perfect opportunity to shoot.
"Listed in the India's most haunted sites, there's one about Shimla-Kalka narrow-gauge railway line that is said to have several ghosts. Most tunnels, have numbers and have stories around it. The Tunnel 16, which is right at the road level, is said to have a 'kind' spirit - which delayed the oncoming vehicle drivers by asking for directions, to warn them about the imaginary oncoming train. 

 The ghost in Tunnel 103 is said to be one that talks back in full context with the humans he comes in contact with. The tunnel itself is wet, damp, dingy and about 140 yards long and is quite a scary place. It is also unique in that the spirit of the Englishman responds to humans, that comes in contact with it."
Sightings have greatly reduced in the recent memories, but the legend lingers on.
