Dow Hill Forest sits high in the mist-covered hills of West Bengal, India—a place surrounded by tea gardens, colonial history, and generations of unsettling folklore. In this episode of Haunted Real Estate, Ashley shares her own experience traveling through nearby Darjeeling before heading into the history and legends of Dow Hill. From the still-operating Victoria Boys’ School and the infamous stretch known as “Death Road” to unexplained footsteps, voices in empty corridors, and the chilling legend of a headless boy seen disappearing into the forest, we explore how one beautiful Himalayan landscape became known as one of India’s most haunted places—and where documented history ends and folklore begins.
