3 scary stories of haunted colleges campuses and hostels from students

There are many collages here which have their own ghostly stories and some scary truths like A student who has committed suicide, one who jumped from the roof, a girl who bites his wrist, a boy who drank poison. These stories are frightening and these stories are told and heard in the form of stories for a long time. With every batch of new students, the stories are created a new and told that there is now an informal initiation ritual, which unites all students in fear of the unknown.

https://horrorstory93.blogspot.com has prepared a list of individual accounts of students from three college campuses across India. These accounts posted on Quora are reproduced from the original post:

1. NIT Durgapur

"The one I remember from from my time in NIT Durgapur is about the OMR (Old Matron's room) in Hall 7. When I was studying there, the four girls, who were allotted that room in my batch all moved out in the very first semester. None of them ever told us why.

After they moved out, the room remained unallocated when our juniors came in, despite the shortage of rooms resulting in them having to cram in five and sometimes six in a room in their year. This sequence of events made me wonder if the story I had heard from my senior who had previously lived in that room for one semester was true. I will try to reproduce her story here, to extent my memory serves me. Pardon me if some details are off.

"K (the senior who told me the story) and B had been allotted the OMR in their 2nd semester. K's parents lived nearby in Kalyani and thus she would often go home over the weekend. B who was from a distant place and would stay in the room alone during those weekends. K and B also were in different sections and thus had slightly different class timings and off periods.

"The OMR comprised of 2 small rooms, one was the inner room where K and B had placed their beds, and the outer room with the bathroom attached where they had placed their cupboards, desks and chairs. B was very academically inclined and liked to study on her bed with all her books and notes spread out. One summer weekend afternoon, when B was asleep in the inner room, she heard K call to her, calling her name repeatedly and asking her to open the door. B woke up and was about to rise from the bed when she realized that K was not in town. She had gone home for the weekend!

"B panicked a bit but ignored the incident, passing it off as a dream despite it being very clearly real to her. She also felt that this (hearing K's voice when she wasn't around) may have happened a couple of times. She did however mention the incident to K.

"A few weeks later, K and B were sleeping in the room when they heard knocking on the inner door in the night. K realized that they had locked the outer door which meant that no one could have possible been knocking on the inner door. They both spent a very sleepless night. B started to avoid sleeping in the room alone on weekends when K wasn't around.

"Finally, towards the end of the semester, K happened to be in the room one afternoon during an off period when B was in class. She distinctly heard B's voice calling her name, asking her to open the door. K didn't open the door but was very frightened by the incident.

"The annex attached to Hall 7, right next to the wing that houses the OMR, in NIT Durgapur is also known to have been the site of some very odd incidents. Footsteps in the night, crunching of leaves outside, knocks on the door at odd hours in the night, girls fainting and then not being able to recollect the last 15-20 mins before they fainted, have been reported by many seniors of mine, when they used to live there in their first year. There are several rumors about that particular annex. Perhaps it was a good thing that it was no longer being used to house students when I was studying there."

2. IIT BHU, Varanasi

 

"The one that is most talked about is the ghost of Vishwakarma hostel. The hostel does not spook you at all neither the ghost unless you have a live encounter.

The Development

People say that there was an M.Tech student residing in the hostel who committed suicide, hanging from the ceiling fan. That happened when the other occupants had left on a vacation and the body was recovered after a long time. The condition was such that due to decaying flesh, it had resulted in a strained neck which resulted in lengthening of the body height up to seven feet.

The Sightings

Now there had been several instances when people have seen this ghost.The ghost was very tall in appearance and the strained neck was clearly visible. He would silently walk out of the well in fields of the hostel and continued towards the gates of the hostel and then disappeared in the agricultural fields in front of the hostel. Leaving the inmates terrified even though it seemed harmless. This was reported by the students as well as the staff and people were afraid to tread near the well even during daytime.

The Suppression

When several sightings were reported the warden held several poojas at the temple near the hostel and after that there were no more sightings. Even till this day some seniors claim hearing a scream coming from a dilapidated structure near that temple while coming to the hostel during late hours.

Disclaimer

The story above is based on rumors collected from several seniors and staff and i have no idea about the timeline of the suicide.

3. BITS Pilani

This is not a story but a horrible incident that happened in a girls' hostel of probably BITS pilani. The hostel has double rooms. A girl was studying in her friend's room late night and slept there. When she returned to his room in the morning , she found "Achha hua ki tumne lights on nahi ki"(It's good that you haven't switched on the lights) written on the wall in red. She then remembered that she went to the room in the night for taking the calculator. She took her hand to the switch but didn't on it so as not to disturb her roommate.

Her roommate was murdered already and the murderer was in the room at that time.

Another thing I want to share is that in the girls hostel of IIT Roorkee, one room number (or perhaps a room) is missing, the reason in rumours (maybe a truth) is a suicide case.
