Step into a world where history and horror collide. This episode of Hexed travels to Bhangarh Fort, a once-thriving 16th century walled city in Rajasthan, India, abandoned centuries ago and now considered so cursed that India's own Archaeological Survey posts an official notice barring anyone from entering after sunset.
Hosted by Mark Houston, Hexed blends eerie storytelling with cultural history and a dose of skepticism. Local legend points to a sorcerer's dying curse or a holy man's broken promise to explain why every roof in the city collapsed and never rose again. The real explanation may be simpler, and just as unsettling: drought, famine, and the slow, total emptying of a city history never fully accounted for.
Enter at your own risk, and remember to keep your curiosity alive, and your caution close.
