Ghosts of 9/11 victims?

The 9/11 terrors attacks were no doubt among the most evil crimes perpetrated on innocent victims ever. More than 3000 people lost their life in the attacks. Most of these victims were snatched away from their life and deprived of their existence forcibly and cruelly. Their families had to bear this unimaginable loss. 

Did some of these victims return to visit or comfort their loved ones?
Here is an article from the New York post which seems to answer in the affirmative.

This week, seven relatives of people who died on 9/11 were given unprecedented access to the hallowed space at Ground Zero -- for a special on A&E.
With thousands of relatives and every network scrambling for a way inside the memorial a month before the official opening, why were these select few given this unprecedented access?
Believe it or not, it was because of their previous unprecedented access. No, not to living politicians -- but to their dead relatives.
Yes, all of these people have been visited or had signs from loved ones who died on that tragic day 10 years ago.
NOW: Jacie (with mom Lisa) sees visions of her dad.

          The Port Authority, apparently, isn't all steel and steely reserve.
"Beyond: Messages from 9/11," which will air on Sept. 10, grew out of 9/11 widow Bonnie McEneaney's book, "Messages: Signs, Visits and Premonitions From Loved Ones Lost on 9/11" (Harper Collins).

McEneaney based the book on her experiences with her husband, Eamon -- before and after he died -- as well as other 9/11 relatives who, like her, had signs and visitations from beyond the grave when they most needed comfort.
Bonnie's first experience was a "bright wind" that came from a tree and encircled her like a tiny, gentle tornado.
I was invited to join the group as we walked to the site with tears flowing freely as we stood at the "9/11 National Memorial Waterfalls."
Jacie O'Brien was just 4 when her dad, a broker at Cantor Fitzgerald, died on 9/11.
Jacie told me she had seen her dad many times on the swings in the playground in the years after 9/11.
"He liked to tell me knock-knock jokes," she said. She told her mom, Lisa, that he was with "the boys" from work. When Lisa showed her a photo of the other dead men, little Jacie named each one -- by first and last name.
Mark Reo, who lost both his brother John and his brother-in-law John Swaine on 9/11, came to meet firefighter John Morabito, who has spoken out about his experiences that day.
Morabito has revealed his experiences -- including how, at the end of that first horrific day, he crossed the Brooklyn Bridge accompanied by an African American construction worker who told him to keep telling the world the story of that day. Turns out, his companion was not alive and was only seen by him.
Reo, through tears, told me that after 9/11 he went to the train station where his brother and brother-in-law used to commute together and yelled into the wind, "John, you've got to give me a sign!"
When he turned the corner, a large cardboard box was in his path and, as he stood there, a shaft of sunlight fell directly on the letters imprinted on the box. "Brother" was spelled out in bright blue letters.
Life is very strange indeed. Let us pray that these folks find peace and comfort and also that the world does not get to suffer such horror ever again!

Bhangarh fort 2 - India's most haunted place

Dear readers, the most popular post in my blog remains my old post about Bhangarh.
Since that was an older post and did not contain much information, I thought it best to revisit this topic with a much better analysis of this place.

Ghost stories and haunted places have no dearth in India. Yet Bhangarh has managed to stay on top with respect to being the most feared and popular haunted place. I think most of the horror and fear is accentuated because of the warning board put up by the Archaeological Society of India(ASI).
I mean when the government itself says "Get the hell out after sunset"..what else can you hope for?
The board basically says "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited."

Some pics of this dreaded place:
Dare to enter inside???

I have not personally visited Bhangarh but want to in the near future and that will definitely be posted here. But the following should give you all the basic information you need about Bhangarh.

1. Bhangarh is a town (actually ruins) in the northern state of Rajasthan in India. There is a great fort here(actually ruins of a fort) which is supposed to be haunted.

2. It was ruled in the 1600's by the relatives of the general(Man Singh I) of the great Mughal emperor Akbar.

3. In the late 1700's a famine killed almost all residents and the survivors moved to other places and thus it was deserted and became a ghost town.

4. Actually it became a real "ghost town" since the locals now believe the whole place is haunted.

5. Some say that a sage or religious man named Guru Balu Nath had a small living area(hut) nearby the palace and said that the height of the palace should not be raised such that its shadow might fall on the hut. A descendant of the ruling family actually increased the height of the palace and this made its shadow to fall on the hut and thus Balu Nath's curse came true and the place was haunted by spirits.

6. Some also say that a tantrik(Indian witch doctor who dabbles in black magic) cursed the place after the princess who he had cast his eyes on, rejected him and was the cause of his death.

7. Nowadays people hear strange sounds, light and see figures moving around at night near the fort.
Many have reported supernatural activity near the fort and I will not be surprised if some scientific community has not already done research here.

8. Among the scary incidents reported (After 6 PM):-
     a. Real scary female screaming is heard(The princess?)
     b. Loud maniacal laughter(Tantrik or the baba?)
     c. Lights going on and off
     d. Sudden loud wind and dust storms occurring all of a sudden.
     e. Ghostly figures and shadows moving around.

9. Many have also reported the feeling of horror and dread near the ruins even in the day time. Some passages are dark without light and it is scary to even think of going inside.

10. The ASI says that the "official" reason for the warning is that wild animals could be present after 6 PM and since the area is not well lit, the place may also present a  safety issue.
But ASI who are you kidding, we all know very well why you have out that notice.

11. Local legends speak of so many brave men who tried to go here at night and never returned!!!

12. Bhangarh is so scary and has a such a reputation of being haunted, it always turns up in the list of most haunted places in the world!

Check this list out and see what distinguished company Bhangarh has!!!

I will surely visit this place and try to be here after sunset....But remember most people try to check out haunted places at night in groups...Remember the true test of a haunted place is going ALONE!!!

Be sure to take a video camera though...So that if you do not return, then we can at least see what killed you.

More on Bhangarh in a later post. For now please comment if you have anything to add to this.
