Paranormal Activity of Tihar Jail

Tihar Jail‘s haunted corridors reveal darker secrets as a tape recorder ensnares an unsuspecting inmate in a chilling supernatural ordeal.

The Shadows of Tihar Jail

Tihar Jail, India’s largest prison complex, harbours tales darker than its towering walls. For decades, whispers of unexplainable events have unsettled inmates and guards alike. One such tale unfolded in Cell Block D, involving an old tape recorder mysteriously left behind in the warden’s office. This tape recorder, with an aura of foreboding, carried echoes from another realm—messages that refused to be silenced.

One humid summer night, Aman, a seasoned pickpocket serving his final year, stumbled upon the device while cleaning the office under guard supervision. Drawn by an inexplicable urge, he pressed “play.” At first, the tape played mundane prison sounds—clanking chains and distant murmurs. But then, a chilling voice began to recite what seemed like Aman’s most guarded memories—secrets even he had buried deep within. His body froze as the voice addressed him by name, narrating his crimes in hauntingly specific detail.

A Sinister Connection

The following nights grew unbearable for Aman. The voice from the recorder began to follow him, creeping into his dreams and whispering from the cell’s shadows. Guards noted his transformation—dark circles, different behaviour, and his constant muttering about “it knowing everything.”

Desperate, Aman sought out Kabir, an old inmate rumoured to dabble in the occult. Kabir revealed that the recorder once belonged to a guard who had mysteriously vanished. He added that the device was said to bridge the living and the dead, often luring individuals into a sinister pact. Aman, initially dismissive, began to notice how the tape’s recordings started including names and crimes of his fellow inmates, foretelling their deaths.

The Terrifying Pact

One stormy night, the recorder demanded Aman’s freedom in exchange for silence, offering a “path out” if he agreed to one condition—become its keeper and spread its curse. Tempted by the promise of escape, Aman hesitated, realizing too late the depths of the deal. The next morning, his cell was found empty. Guards assumed he had escaped, but Kabir knew better. A new tape, with Aman’s desperate cries, now played in the recorder.

The tape recorder still rests in Tihar, its unsettling whispers waiting for the next victim. What secrets does it hold? No one knows, but only few find out.
