Reports of Occult and Haunted Incidents in Sri Lanka Tourist Attractions 01

While traveling, one hears from time to time about the events and places where different supernatural events have been encountered. Although there are scientific phenomena behind most of these, there are also reports of unexplained incidents, interesting stories related to oral tales and legends as well as scary incidents.

Sri Pada / Adams peak

Sri Pada site is the place where most of the experiences have been reported and the largest number of people have had such experiences. The Sri Pada site includes not only the Sri Pada mountain but also a very large area. These incidents have been reported on Ratnapura Hatton and Kuruvita roads, which are the three most popular roads out of the total 8 roads to Sri Pada. Here, some of the pilgrims who are traveling alone have met a very peaceful old person and they have said that their injuries and pains that happened at that time were relieved. It is said that after meeting this person, he disappears very quickly. Some Mahutharayak people claim that the Lord Saman, who is in charge of the Sri Pada site, appears like this.

Lakshapana Falls

Lakshapana Falls located in Norton is a very beautiful place with its beauty and mystery. The Lakshapana waterfall is located at the foot of the massive Sapta Kanya mountain range, and here in 1979, a plane collided and caused great destruction. At the foot of the Lakshapana waterfall, it is very dark and mysterious in the evening. Some people who have gone here before sunset have heard various voices and some claim to have seen a woman dressed in white.

The road from Ohiya to Kalupahana is very beautiful and has become a very famous hiking trail among tourists. A few people have mentioned that they saw a ghost associated with a certain old estate bungalow located in the West Haputale area.

Captain Roger’s Tomb – Nuwara Eliya

Captain Roger’s grave located outside the city is a special place. Captain Roger killed 1400 elephants when he was in charge of the Uva region in Sri Lanka and it is mentioned as his pastime. About 8 months before his death, a Buddhist monk warned him about a lightning coming from the sky. In Badulla, two elephants entered the house due to rain and lightning during a ceremony that was used to celebrate the killing of them. After the rain subsided a little, he thought of restarting the festival and went out to check the situation. He was struck by lightning and turned into coal. His remains were buried outside the city and it is said that his grave is still struck by lightning.

Wolfendal Church

One of the oldest churches in Colombo, this is also known as the Wolf Valley Church, although it looks desolate and mystical, prayers are still held here. There are gravestones on the ground here and the old appearance can be seen everywhere. Some people have seen ghosts here and the devotees have once felt a strong cold.
