Every corner of Pakistan has a special story. While some evoke emotions, others frighten. In this article, we’re going to talk about the scariest places from around the country, the darkest, most haunted ones. So, if you ever get a chance to visit any of these, beware, take precaution, because they are haunted for a reason.
Skardu Lake
The frozen Skardu Lake is said to be one of the most haunted places in Pakistan. While it looks breathtaking in the daytime, it tells a completely different story at night. Believed to be cursed, people say that they hear crying voices from beneath the ice when the lake is frozen.
Bikers have also claimed to witness shadows while riding on the Skardu Road, stopping them from continuing their journey.
Old Forts Of Hunza Valley
The old Altit and Baltit Forts of Hunza Valley were home to royal families of Pakistan. These families are said to be still residing in these forts, years after their death.
The story started with the dispute between two brothers from the ruling family, Shah Abbas and Ali Khan. After years of conflict, legend has it that Ali Khan was imprisoned alive by his brother in one of the walls of Altit Fort. This led some to believe that the fort has been haunted ever since. Myth or fact, who knows?
Karsaz Road, Karachi
The Karsaz Road in Karachi is famous for its ghost bride who haunts the passing drivers. People have said to witness a woman all dressed up in bridal attire waiting at the Karsaz road asking for a lift, and as soon as someone stops the car to help the abandoned bride, she quietly sits in the back seat, and the rest is history.
While most of it is just stories, people often complain of feeling a certain unease when passing from the road at night.

Khojak Tunnel, Balochistan
The Khojak Tunnel in Balochistan, also known as Shela Bagh, is a mysterious engineering marvel that is now largely forgotten. Beyond its marvellous construction, the tunnel is also known for all the weird things that happen within.
There are several local legends surrounding the tunnel, one of which says that the chief engineer of the project killed himself before his masterpiece, the tunnel, could be completed. Nobody knows why. Today, truck drivers report strange passengers getting into their trucks while crossing the tunnel.
Mohatta Palace, Karachi
The Mohatta Palace was once the home to a wealthy Hindu businessman, Shivratan Chandraratan Mohatta. The palace’s horror stories are nothing new, though; they have existed since the British Raj, when the British claimed to witness mysterious happenings, strange noises, objects moving and chilling, peculiar presence.
In recent times, people working late at night have said that they experience a certain eeriness in the palace. From things moving on their own to lights dimming and hearing voices, the Mohatta Palace displays a chilling atmosphere to date.

Witnesses have reported seeing glowing figures walking among the tombs at night, while caretakers have experienced strange energies in the area.
Behind every whisper of the wind and flicker of the night, there’s a story waiting to be told. These haunted corners of Pakistan are more than myths; they are echoes of history, tragedy, and mystery intertwined. Perhaps, some secrets are best left undiscovered.
