As much as people call it haunted, it has a rather sad story behind it. The ghost might not be an actual spirit, but actual people living in it. Yes, you heard it right. Two people living in an absolute, off the roads house? Something to discuss about.
What is the story behind it? A government property sanctioned to Princess Wilayat Mahal of the Royal family of Awadh after her 9 years struggle of trying to acquire this place. But, the place turned out to be quite opposite to other normal houses. There was no electricity, no sorts of facilities and the Princess shifted here with two of her kids, 15 dogs and 7 servants. The Princess finally fell into the hands of depression and committed suicide by swallowing diamonds. The kids were seen clunged to her body when the officials discovered it.
Since then the children, Princess Sakina and Prince Ali Raza continued to live there. They used to live in complete isolation from other humans. Princess Sakina passed away in 2014 and Prince Ali Raza in 2017. Nobody knows how they survived with no electricity and no water supply.

What they used to do for food and how they used to pass their time is still an absolute mystery. This Malcha Mahal stays indefinitely restricted by the public. The board in the entrance clearly states “Trespassers will be shot down”. You probably can visit the other haunted places, but not this for sure.
