        There are also rumors that this Baoli used to have black water which used to attract people to jump in there and commit suicide. A case of suicide was brought in light by media in the year 2007, at that time water was only 4-5 feet deep.
        Many a time strange sounds, like the sound of anklet, creeks (like opening doors) are heard and that’s the reason why people are not allowed to stay there after 6 PM.
