Built in 1832 by Sir George Everest, Surveyor General of India, the estate served as his home, laboratory, and observatory.

    Lambi Dehar Mines

    MussoorieIndia1930s–1990s

    Lambi Dehar Mines, situated near Hathipaon in the outskirts of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, is one of the most infamous abandoned industrial sites in India. Once an active opencast limestone quarry employing tens of thousands of workers, the mine was permanently shut down in the early 1990s following a catastrophic safety failure that caused widespread respiratory illness and mass casualties. Today, the desolate, overgrown quarry is infamous for agonizing nighttime screams, phantom lights, and tales of a vengeful witch guarding the mountain ruins.

Today, local lore claims that Captain Young's ghost still rides his white horse around the mansion on dark, moonless nights, waiting to inspect his troops.

    Savoy Hotel

    MussoorieIndia1902–present

    The Savoy Hotel, opened in 1902 in the hill station of Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, is one of India's grandest colonial-era hotels. Famed for its Edwardian elegance, royal guests, and literary heritage, the hotel gained eternal notoriety following the unsolved 1911 poisoning death of British spiritualist Frances Garnett-Orme. This locked-room murder inspired Agatha Christie's debut novel 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles' and gave rise to enduring legends of Miss Garnett-Orme's ghost wandering the corridors in search of her killer.
