About The Event
Pune's first ever Ghost Walk started in December 2025
Pune dates back to the 2nd Century AD. There are layers and layers of civilization piled up and along with it is its dead. As the night dawns on the old city and the hustle bustle slowly subsides, another world wakes up. You must have passed by these lanes many times but you don't know about the invisible people from a different dimension hovering around, their soul still haunting the place, some seeking revenge and some salvation. In this exclusive and first ever ghost storytelling walk of Pune we will walk to spots associated with such restless souls who seek liberation and listen to what happened to them and how they are still spotted by the locals.

- The Beloved 2nd Wife
