The Lambi Dehar mines are situated on the outskirts of Mussoorie. These used to be strip mines, lime quarries that have been shut.
In the early 1990s there were about 50,000 workers working in these mines and a lot of these people were dying of diseases.
Lime turns your lungs into stone and you die a very painful death, coughing blood etc.
The mines were shut because a lot of safety rules were being flouted and there were a lot of accidents like trucks falling off the mountains etc?
Today there is an entire city of 1500 people that has been deserted for 20 years.
Trees have grown in the houses and you can hear sounds of people hear at night. It is also very scary perhaps because it is remote, far from civilisation and has its history of haunting.
When you're driving there, cars go off the road, trucks go off the road, and there's been a mysterious helicopter crash there. So there's definitely a presence in that place.
Legend has it that there's also a witch that walks down the mountains screaming.
