The Char Khambe, St. Cruz, Goa – Experience the Creepiness

Overview

Painted white and located in the Khazan lands, the Four Pillars (Char Khambe in the Konkani language), that have existed for over a century on the boundary between the erstwhile village of Calapur (now St Cruz) and the capital city of Panaji, are eerily famous. Built in 1896 by a prominent citizen of Calapur to commemorate the arrival of a Portuguese prince to Goa, there's many an urban legend about these minaret-style obelisks that stand in pairs on either side of the road to St Cruz, especially involving the supernatural. If you like busting myths or if the occult realms fascinate you, then experience the spine-chilling atmosphere of Char Khambe, said to be one of Goa's haunted places . The road is believed to be a hotspot for ghostly apparitions in the middle of the night with people hearing cries in the vicinity. The locals believe that the place is cursed, hence many accidents occur here. So if you are up for the challenge, then travel here on full moon nights and supposedly witness phantoms roaming.
