>The hauntings of Garden Reach shipyard, near Metiabruz, are urban legends unknown even to some of Kolkata’s citizens. According to one legend, on a dark rainswept night, a deck foreman named Maguni Raut walked towards a German ship to unload its cargo at the jetty. While doing his job he heard a beautiful female voice singing to him. Mesmerised by the sweet music, he followed the trail of the voice. But it seemed to him that the closer he got the farther the source moved away. On his way he stumbled across the train tracks of the railway marshalling yard. Here, to his horror, Raut discovered a male body lying diagonally across the tracks with blood soaking all the ground near it. Raut, thinking that a train must have caused the accident, yelled for help. But it was almost midnight and no one answered his call. Hence he rushed to a nearby shed to call the dock hospital. Soon, an ambulance and medical staff arrived at the spot, but to Raut’s surprise there was nothing where he previously saw the body! The tracks were clean and there was no evidence of any blood.

>In another incident, Ansari Islam, a crain operator at the dock experienced a terrifying supernatural confrontation. He was sleeping in his crane’s cabin at night when suddenly he woke up to metallic sounds coming from the top of his cabin. At first he thought that any colleague might be pranking him, but soon the sound became so loud that Islam thought tha the roof might collapse. He rushed out and with his own eyes saw a headless cloaked figure rushing down from the steps of the crane and vanishing into the darkness.

Locals believe that the hauntings are because of the supernatural curse of the ill-fated Nawab Wajid Ali. The Nawabs court in exile was filled with intrigue, violence and brutal murders. The murder of Munsarimwali Gauhar, a famed courtesan who accompanied the ruler from Lucknow, is well known. Jealous of the Nawabs’ affection over Gauhar, the chief Begum of Wajid Ali plotted with another courtesan, named Chunewali Hydari, to burn Gauhar alive and place it as an accident. Gauhar died by burning while performing a musical in 1883, just four years before the Nawabs’ death. Since then, many dock workers have reported witnessing recreations of the fire with terrified screams and flaming figures.

There is another story popular when I was a kid, namely a traffic police guy who approaches bikers on a midnight and asks for lift home but then vanishes before reaching the home. Backstory being that the policeman died during Pujo when he couldn't go back home due to an accident. So now he approaches all bloody.
