'Shaking windows, power fluctuation': 'Ghost' scares away 63 girls in a hostel in Jhansi

In a strange incident, 63 girls have left their rooms in a hostel in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi after experiencing strange incidents in the hostel. According to the girl inmates, they saw shadows, heard sounds of people running on the roof, experienced vigorous shaking of windows and fluctuating electricity, among others, Wednesday evening.

The incident happened in a hostel of Veerangna Jhalkari Bai Government Girls Polytechnic College in Jhansi.

After experiencing strange things, the students submitted a complaint to the principal GS Yadav, and informed him that they would only return after consultation with their families.


A hostel resident said that local boys might have been behind this incident. "Some local boys might have entered the hostel premises to scare us. The hostel is secluded with zero security on the campus. The only Prantiya Rakshak Dal guard is stationed nearly 150 metre from the hostel. Moreover, there are no CCTV cameras," a hostel inmate said.

The principal of the institution has said that an internal investigation has been launched into the incident.

In a similar incident, a video had gone viral few weeks ago where a white-clad 'ghost' was seen walking on rooftops in Varanasi.

The viral videos shared on social media seemed to suggest a figure in a long white robe loitering on rooftops at a distance, and caused some panic among local residents in Varanasi.


Police had appealed to the people in the area not to forward those videos, and tried to convince them that no such thing has happened.
