In the heart of West Bengal lies an old, forgotten railway station — Begunbari Junction. During the day, it seems ordinary, but as night falls, an eerie silence takes over. Locals say that no train has stopped there after 9 p.m. for decades. The reason? A tragic tale buried in the dark.
Years ago, a young woman was waiting for her husband at this very platform. As she tried to cross the tracks to catch a glimpse of the incoming train, she slipped and fell. The speeding train crushed her instantly. Since that night, passengers and railway workers have reported hearing screams echoing through the station and seeing a woman draped in white, walking along the empty platform.
Engine drivers claim that whenever they slow down near Begunbari at night, a shadow appears on the tracks — forcing them to speed past in fear. The station now remains abandoned, with rusted signboards and broken lamps flickering in the wind.
Even today, locals say — if you stand near the station at midnight, you can still hear the whistle of a ghostly train… and the cry of the woman who never left
