#FortFear
When you think of Fort, you think of grand buildings, Victorian Gothic architecture, large maidans and legacy businesses. But did you know it also has a dark past? The fort, a military base for some and a malaria-infested island for others, was full of atrocities. With massacres, public executions and torturous regimes, life was hard and death was easy. Even today, the unfortunate ones who have come too close to places of these sufferings have had some unpleasant interactions. Take a tour with us as we show you places considered haunted in the erstwhile fort and tell you stories that make you shiver with fear.

#GrislyGirgaon
During the 18th & 19th century, Mumbai used to face the east as most people entered and exited the city from the port area. Hence, the inconsequential west coast was called the ‘ Back Bay&rsquo. Plots along the rocky sea face were acquired by various communities to bury or cremate their dead as they were considered to be away from the town. As the town grew, the paddy fields and coconut groves in the area were converted into a residential zone that we call ‘ Girgaon&rsquo. It is here that these new citizens had some old neighbors to deal with, a little too old! So, join us on the #GrislyGirgaon ghost walk to see how the dead and the living interact with each other on a day to day basis.
