The Dumas Beach in Gujarat, India has a massive reputation for being one of the most haunted places in the country. It is a pretty bustling tourist destination, by day at least. There are people on their camels, on their horses, some just walk and have a good time, but apparently at night everyone vacates because they are scared of the ghosts.
The black sand on the beach has to do a lot with why it is believed that this beach is so haunted. Supposedly they say that this used to be a burial ground. They used to bury the dead on this beach. And the reason why the sand appears black is, they say, actually ashes from cremated bodies being mixed with the sand that has turned it black. And then some spirits that might have some leftover energy and they are the ones told to still roam the beach particularly at night. Standing on the beach, one would never know if you were standing on dead people’s ashes or if it’s just a local legend or anything. The thought is certainly very creepy and disturbing. But that’s why they say that the sand is black there.
This is a very well-known place in India for being haunted. It has quite the reputation.
