1. Begunkodor Train Station, West Bengal
Located in a remote village in West Bengal, this station is reportedly haunted by a white-sari draped spectral, the ghost of a lady who was run over by a train there.

The Barog tunnel/tunnel no 33/tunnel 103 is the longest tunnel on the Kalka Shimla Railway route. It takes about 2.5 minutes to cross this tunnel.

It is believed that he still lingers in and around the eerie and damp tunnel making his presence felt.
