Preface:
Lalbagh Fort near Dhaka is one of the most haunted places in Bangladesh. The Tomb of Pari Bibi (who was the daughter of Shaista Khan, Subahdar of Bengal, 17th century) is one of the three major parts of this fort.
It has been a legend for a long time that in the full moon night, Pari Bibi appears on the fort, singing, and dancing. Another well-known haunting myth of Lalbagh Fort is the ghost of a man on his horse, who gets in and out of the fort at night. They say this apparition actually goes for his prayers.
Normally, prayer time starts around 5 am. However, when people see this ghost, they hear the call for prayer coming from the prayer room at around 3 am, which is absurd. When they rush to see what is happening inside the prayer room, they find it completely empty. In other rumors, there is a hidden passageway to Agra (presently in India) from this fort. Local legends say, whoever found this passageway and entered it, has never returned. However, the doorways that claimed to have connected to Agra had been sealed long ago by the British rulers after a mystical occurrence happened to an investigation team. The team was searching for the end of the hidden passageway with their dogs chained by the team members. First, they sent their dogs to enter the dark passage but when they pulled their chain they saw the dogs disappeared. The British rulers also sent some elephants in this tunnel, but according to legend, none of them ever returned
Don't you walk alone in the dark
You may spot the lone spirit as she dances
Don’t you enter the tomb of Lalbagh
You don't know what memories will you spark
As the long night ends and the morning prayer begins
Her beloved Horsemen came before the dawn
from the shadowland The Horsemen gallops
the cold wind rises as her spirit sings
Don't you walk alone in the dark
where the mythical tunnel haunts the tomb of Lalbagh
Don't you know where the cult pathway leads
To the mystical land from where nobody return
The killer demons came as the tunnel get wider
Slaughter the horsemen's head by Lord Subedar’s order.
The Horsemen came to watch his princess of the night
gets murdered for the crime he did not commit.
The doomed spirit of Paribibi
dancing her feet soaked in blood
Don't gaze upon their spiral moves
cause their spirit will turn you into the mud.
Every night since they died
Lalbagh becomes the dancing pit of the night
and when the prayer starts, their ghosts unite
Dead vessel's yawn together, possessed by the satanic rite
why going there! don’t you hear?
their ghost will devour you in a single bite.
Red Fort Dark Princess White Rider,
All gets haunted by lord subedars caste order
Birthing The Legend of Lalbagh, That makes us wonder.
The fort still stands, the tunnel remains locked,
The demons never left but people still talk
when the horse rider rides and the spirit dance
don't fear the sight and close your eyes
