The Red Fort is named for its massive enclosing walls of red sandstone with beautiful palaces in and is adjacent to the older Salimgarh Fort, built by Islam Shah Suri in 1546. Salimgarh Fort is considered as one of the most haunted places in Old Delhi. The British used it as a death prison. Many prisoners died within its walls and a few in the dark dungeons. The people, who keep a watch on this fort, hear the groans, the whispered conversations and the rusting of iron shackles. The Emperor Aurangzeb incarcerated his favorite daughter Zebu Nissa in the fortress prison of Salimgarh, where she languished for twenty years until her death. The aggrieved ghost of Zebu Nissa haunts Salimgarh in the moonlight. She sings her own composed couplets wearing a dark veil (The Red Fort and Salimgarh are closed on Monday).

Next you will visit Fort of Feroz Shah Kotla. This beautiful fort was built during the middle years of the 14th century. The most striking thing about the monument, that it occupied by a multitude of invisible to the naked eye jinns. The jinns are a race of spirit beings that can be good or evil. Local folks congregate every Thursday at the fort and offer incense sticks, among other offerings, in order to calm the ruffled jinns or make the requests and wishes. A lot of wishes, written to jinns on paper, can be seen on the walls within the premises.

After Lunch in local restaurant (at your own cost) continue your tour toward the Agrasen ki Baoli - a stepwell built by maharaja Agrasen in the mid of 14^th century. Stepwell of Agrasen consists of 103 steps made of red stone that leads to a water reservoir. This place is not only one of the most popular, but also one of the most haunted places in Delhi. Some people assert that the stepwell is a residence of evil spirits. As per the claims, the baoli (stepwell) was earlier filled with Black water which attracted disheartened and depressed admirers. A mystic power hypnotized people to their death by alluring them to jump in the waters. It is believed that so called "Baoli of the unseen", used to call for people to offer their lives and raise its water levels.

In the evening you will visit Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin for the unique chance to hear and enjoy devotional soul-stirring Sufi music called “qawwali”. True to Sufi tradition, love for God is invoked in terms of romance through the music. Dargah itself is mausoleum of one of the world's most famous Sufi saints, Hazrat Khwaja Syed Nizamuddin Auliya (1238 - 1325 CE). Dargah is considered to be one of few religious shrines that still practice exorcism.

Here, during qawwali sessions, some people can be found banging their heads, growling, murmuring indistinct words and rolling around on the floor. While they might otherwise behave normally, this behavior occurs only in holy places during holy chants, joint prayers or devotional music indicating that the evil spirit inside them is having a hard time as it wrestles with the power of the saint (although qawwali sessions are held every day between 6:00 – 8:00 pm, the main qawwali sessions take place on every Thursday/Sunday in the evenings from 6:30 onwards)
