Haunted Mansion in St. Marks Road




A dilapidated house, an old Hillman Minx car near the entrance gathering dust, articles like statues, furniture etc. lying around but nobody dares to steal them, from people being attacked by a supernatural force to getting an eerie feeling by just simply walking past the home, this home has a lot of creepy facts associated with itself. It belonged to two Anglo-Indian spinster sisters, Vera Vaz, 80 and her younger sister Dolce Vaz, 75 who was murdered in this house in front of her sister by an unknown assailant, it is said that she was buried in the house itself which now stands deserted as nobody wants to live here or buy this property. The house has 8 rooms with one room leading to another, there is an inverted cross spotted in this house as well as a statue supposedly of either Mother Mary or Jesus Christ with its head and neck missing. Many people have claimed to witness paranormal activities here like sounds of piano during the night, unexplained noises and in one case a person has reported a burnt mark on his back. Though the house is locked now, one can still peep inside it to witness the remains of the years gone by.

(Some of the sources have suggested that it got demolished in February 2014).
