Ever thought of hanging out with your buddies in a place with paranormal activity? They are said to be haunted by the visitors who witnessed some really sinistrous and ghostly presence in the places.

1. Dumas Beach, Gujrat:
Several tourists have reported hearing strange whispers in this urban beach along the Arabian Sea, located 21 km south west of Surat City in Gujarat. The black sand adds itself to the spookiness of the beach. Hindus’ ritual of burning dead by the side of the ocean has been one of the prime reasons to support the theory of dead spirits wandering in and around the beach. Several incidents of tourists disappearing along the beach have been reported. And these are just some of the stories that are known. Only a visit to that place will probably tell you what’s the real mystery of the beach.
