St. Johns Baptist Church - The Most Haunted Church in Mumbai

 

St. Johns Baptist church located in Andheri, Mumbai was abandoned after an epidemic in 1840. This church built in the 16th century, has many ghostly stories attached to it. St. John’s Baptist Church, a centuries old Portuguese church was once an abode to the spirit of a young bride who used to torment people coming in the vicinity of the church. Just one prayer meet is held in a year.

 

As per the locals, there was an exorcism conducted in 1977, to get rid of the ghost of the bride. As the priest read lines from the Bible, first heard manic laughter and then loud wailing. The sobbing of the unknown voice finally stopped and suddenly there was a loud splashing sound from the pond next to the church. Everything then fell silent. The next day all the fishes in the pond were found dead and floating on the surface.

 

 

As per the priest that it was the ghost of a newly married woman who had either committed suicide or was murdered around 300 years ago. But after this, she was never seen or heard again. But, this two time death venue of the bride is declared haunted and is listed amongst the most haunted places in Mumbai.
