THE LADY OF THE WELL

THE LADY OF THE WELL

D’Souza Chawl is located near Canossa Primary School in Mahim, Mumbai. A Chawl is a building up to 4-5 floors. This chawl is lined by houses on both the sides. D'Souza Chawl has a well inside its compound that is said to be haunted. The well didn't have a boundary around it. One woman while getting water from that well tripped and fell into the well and died.It is repeated many times that people have seen the apparition of the unfortunate lady wanders around the well at late night and disappeared before the dawn. 

"The lady of the well" did not harm anyone although people are advised not to go towards the wall at night. Another haunting in this chawl is that of a guard who is often spotted near one of the trees. He appears to be there in the night and people often see him guarding the area.
