But the existence of these supernatural anomalies is a reality— you don’t say... In these, you include jinn’s, spirits and ghosts. The Jinn’s live like us, they also have weddings and children, and they also die— how wonderful... The Jinn’s capture some places and often show their presence. There are some places in Pakistan where many people have claimed to see some extraordinary supernatural activities.
Following is a list of these places based upon the intensity of the activity that goes on there so let's have a look at these places.
- Unnamed House, Karachi.

People from various walks of life have confirmed that they’ve seen that Lady in white, on several occasions, strolling around the house, and she disappears at exactly 3 am, every time with no explanation. The story goes that years ago, some people kidnapped a lady and brought her here, and after physically abusing her and keeping her locked for several days, killed her at the end and left her body there and since that day, the Lady in white has overtaken the house as an act of vengeance.
- She-reen Cinema. Karachi.
Who says, that ‘the dead don’t like music and movies. The She-reen cinema in Karachi is a clear example, just like the Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing and Visual Arts in Nevada, USA—which also hosts a few future stars of the Ghost world.
This cinema was closed because of the intense supernatural activity that was happening there. According to the cinema staff, when the cinema was empty, there were many occurrences of someone singing songs and laughing out loud. On many occasions, apparitions of people were seen on the big screen, even though there was no one present in that area during that time—spirits of actor wannabe’s may be?
- Dalmia Road. Karachi.
Many people while traveling around midnight on the Dalmia Road in Karachi have seen a 'bride'. She has been named as—wait for it… “The Cursor Bride”. Some people claim that, while traveling around midnight on Dalmia Road, when they reach the Car-saaz and Jo-hur Junction, for no apparent reason, are forced to stop. After stopping— lo and behold, they come face to face with a bride dressed in the traditional red bridal dress and who tries to communicate with them, in some unknown language.
The first thought that apparently comes to the mind of drivers, is that the bride is a damsel in distress—don’t get any ideas, but as soon as they begin to look at the bride, suddenly her facial features change, and she turns into a horrific looking witch. Some people have also claimed that when they didn’t stop, the bride started following them—Spoiler alerts maybe, and they could the bride screaming—well of course, you’re a bride, alone at nowhere around midnight and the only hope for rescue doesn’t stop, you’re bound to get a bit edgy…

According to the narrative, centuries ago, a poor childless married couple was going to various mystics for children. The prayer of one of them was accepted, and they bore not one, not two but 40 children— that must have been exhausting...
This poor pair could not afford so many children, so they kept a child with them and left the remaining thirty-nine on the mountain. After some time, the woman thinking that those children would have died by then went back to the mountain but to her amazement they were all alive there. The wife happily returned to tell her husband and, also left the child that was kept by the couple there. After a few days, both the husband and wife returned to the mountain, all the children had disappeared. Local people say that they often hear those forty children at the mountain—and that’s what you call… what you sow, so shall you reap.

Since then, there have been reports that the Queen spirit resides there and is very unfavorable towards the unconcerned people, people who aren’t in some way attached to the Palace.
