Ghost Hunter's Parched Pilgrimage Through Kolkata
air conditioning stopped working three bus rides into kolkata - should’ve taken that'en as a sign. stuck to metal seats with sweat pooling where my backpack met spine. checked my ghost-hunting app readings: 1269910 static bursts and 1356109548 EM spikes dancing like sugar-high fireflies.
then the humidity hit. not just wet air - felt like breathing through a sponge left forgotten in monsoon season. pulled out my old weather gizmo: 21.66°C clinging to my skin like orphaned wraith fingers. locals call this "thank god it's not august" weather. stole wifi from some clerk who swore the tea-stall window provides strongest signal.
aftermath of enduring public transport: ended up near park street cemetery dodging stray dogs wearing better shoes than mine. discovered mishti doi stalls keep haunting hours - guy appeared/disappeared like phantom sneak-scouting apparitions.
chain-smoking widow Sicher on park bench told me: "marble palace caretaker bribes his wife‘s ghost with rasgullas nightly - slips them under her portrait while humming film song"
you stare at crumbling british-era balconies long enough and the shadows start winking back. found colonial ghosts are cranky drinkers - tried EVP session at Olypub and caught faint whiskey demands on recorder:
drunk historian recounted: "rashbehari‘s ghost argues with travelersdecathlon.splitwise about cricket scores near temple steps"
the shimmering ghosts here feel layered like phyllo pastry - mogul whispers under british officers yelling under cricket hysteria. found best electromag distortion inside old irish pub where spills tasted like history repression.
when the hauntings felt too thick i ran human interference - stuffed face at lucent dosa joint where uncles cursed loudly at soccer loss gossip for distraction funk.
if these spirits tire you - nearby burdwan spills ricefields rumored filled with agrarian ghosts waving harvest knives.
evidence collected included: ectoplasm-smelling jalebi stain analy earning shrimpisti at south park street cem assembly point.
hit these when sanity flees:
- surrendered to public bus insanity via transitindia insider tips
- found weeping ghostly buskers near ~~tripadvisorteashop~~ hole
- equipped local ghost disturbance gear at ~~yelp~~sale old spice market
