King George Hospital (KGH) in Visakhapatnam is one of the oldest and largest government teaching hospitals in Andhra Pradesh. Founded as a civil dispensary in 1845 and expanded into a grand colonial medical institution in 1923, its century-old heritage wards and vintage clock tower building are shrouded in dark tales of ghostly nurses, phantom gurneys, and restless spirits of patients from wartime epidemics and colonial-era medical trials.
Mullingar Mansion, constructed in 1825 in Landour near Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, is historically celebrated as the very first grand residence built in the hill station. Built by Irish military commander Captain Frederick Young (founder of the Sirmoor Rifles), this sprawling estate served as his official residence during the early days of British settlement. 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.
The Old GMC complex in Panaji (Panjim), Goa, was originally founded in 1842 as the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Nova Goa—one of the oldest medical colleges in Asia. Situated along the scenic Mandovi River in Campal, this historic colonial medical complex served as Goa's premier public hospital for over 150 years before operations shifted to Bambolim in 1993. Behind its impressive Indo-Portuguese facade lies a haunting legacy of thousands of surgical deaths, epidemic quarantines, and morgue operations. Today, while portions of the complex have been repurposed for the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) and entertainment society offices, the abandoned old hospital wards and former morgue wings remain infamous for terrifying reports of phantom cries, footsteps, and ghostly medical staff roaming empty corridors late at night.
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.
Established in 1673 in Newport, Rhode Island, the White Horse Tavern holds the proud historic distinction of being recognized as the oldest continuously operating tavern building in the United States and one of the oldest active dining establishments in the world. Originally constructed as a private colonial residence before being expanded into a public house, this Colonial landmark served as a vital meeting hall for the Rhode Island General Assembly, a criminal court, and quarters for British and Loyalist soldiers during the American Revolutionary War. Alongside its rich three-century culinary and political legacy, the tavern is internationally renowned for its lingering Colonial spirits, unexplained disembodied footsteps, and eerie encounters with spectral boarders who never checked out.
