3. Dow Hill Kurseong ka Rahasya — Darjeeling ka Bhootiya Jungle

Paschim Bengal ke Kurseong mein ek jagah hai jiska naam hai Dow Hill. Yahan ek Victoria Boys High School hai jo December se February ke beech band rehta hai. Is khali school mein in teen mahino mein jo hota hai woh bahut hi darawna hai.

School ke chowkidaar aur local log batate hain ki band school mein footsteps ki awaaz aati hai. Aisi awaaz jaise koi bachcha chal raha ho — lekin wahan koi hota nahi. School ke corridors mein janwaaron ka bhi jaana band hai kyunki woh wahan jaate hi ghabra jaate hain aur bhaag jaate hain.

Lekin sabse darawni baat yeh hai — school ke paas ek jungle hai jise 'Death Road' kehte hain. Logon ne baar baar yahan ek sir-kataa ladke ki aatma dekhi hai jo jungle mein chalti hai aur phir akaar mein ghul jaati hai. Kai logon ne police mein bhi report ki hai is baare mein.

Itihaas mein bhi Dow Hill ka kaala andhera chupa hai — British raj mein yahan kaafi murders hue the aur jungle mein kai laashein milti rahi hain. Local log aaj bhi akele Death Road pe jaane se darte hain — khaas kar dhundh bhari saamon ko jab kuch bhi saaf nahi dikhta.
