#3 [Overnight adventure in Haunted Bhangarh, a Ghost Town in India](https://steemit.com/adventure/@nameless-berk/overnight-adventure-in-haunted-bhangarh-a-ghost-town-in-india)

Believe it or not @nameless-berk went out to explore a ghost town in India.

> I came to Bhangarh from Jaipur a few hours before the sunset. To spice things up and increase the likelihood of a paranormal encounter, I also took some LSD on arrival. In light hours I examined the town with it's rows of ruined habitations, creepy temples and deep pools.

Great story man! Definitely a suggested read.
