We love to listen to the horror stories with loads of drama and thrill. The best part of these stories is the ghost. Getting goosebumps is the normal thing happen at that time.
One such terror tale is related to the Dumas Beach in Gujarat that many people must not be aware of. When it comes to most haunted places in India, generally Bhangarh and Kuldhara (in Rajasthan) and Agrasen ki Baoli in Delhi cover the prime spots on the list.
However, the story of Dumas Beach is equally realistic and haunting.
While this beach must look like God’s home during the daytime, it becomes devil’s paradise after the sun goes down. One of the premium tourist attractions in Surat, this beach is visited by hordes of travellers and tourist every day but as it starts getting dark, people leave the place for better good. And those who tried to challenge the beach by staying overnight, they either never came back or had worst experiences to share.
Located along the Arabian Sea, Dumas Beach is considered one of the most haunted places in Gujarat. The beach is renowned for two things, one for its black sand and other for being haunted.
It is said that Dumas Beach was once used as a Hindu burial ground and hence is possessed by several haunting spirits that never left the region. Folklore explains that the existence of black sand is because of the amount of ash created by burning the dead which got mixed with white sand of the beach and turned dark in shade.

There’s no denying that the beach has a weird feel to it. The surroundings are beautiful but hauntingly depressing, and you cannot escape the negativity that surrounds the place. A number of paranormal activities have been reported in the area after the moon shows up.

If reports are to be believed, several tourists and locals have gone missing from Surat’s haunted beach, Dumas. Also, a man was found dead on the beach with his tongue popping out. And there is absolutely no one who could explain the reason behind all these mishaps.

People also claim that they heard weird sounds coming from the beach like people laughing and someone crying, even when there’s not a single soul present. Not only this, locals also say that they have witnessed white apparitions and moving orbs along with myriad other mysterious activities that can’t be explained.

Reaching Dumas Beach is pretty easy as there are several ways. The beach is found at a length of around 20 km from Surat city and it takes just half an hour to get here. A number of local transports are available from the city of Dumas Beach.
