Ring Road, Odisha
The Ring Road surrounding the historic city of Cuttack in Odisha is one of Eastern India's most infamous haunted transit corridors. Skirting the banks of the Mahanadi and Kathajodi rivers directly adjacent to major traditional cremation grounds (Khannagar and Puri Ghat Swargadwar), this arterial road is renowned for chilling late-night sightings of phantom charred figures walking along the river embankments, sudden vehicle breakdowns, and unexplainable road accidents.
