The well inside the Baoli has dried out but that now. Many mysterious stories involved here. While going deeper the sounds totally vanish only what remains that is echo of our own footsteps. As this sounds becomes more louder in a complete vacuum silence, the atmosphere turns more uncanny feelings. A strong eerie presence felt by visitors in there. Some people even assert that the Baoli is a residence of devils. This Baoli has turned into the house for thousands of bats and pigeons. Before the place lost its shine, the Boali was filled with black water which would call out to people strangely and ask them to scarify their lives. This might be the vernacular behind the strangeness felt inside the vicinity of this Baoli. Someone jump to his death, this is what he had to say he was fine and then we saw him standing there. The water is believed to have had mesmerized people and drove them to death.
