People passing by the bridge have heard strange noises from an abandoned building near. There have also been cases where the sounds of laughter and cries have been heard and, when investigated, no people have been found there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unexplained phenomenon is that the bridge and the abandoned building always seem to be eerily cold even on hot summer days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Address: <\/strong>Dr Radha Krishnan Salai, Rangaiah Garden, Mylapore<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.

There have been incidents where loud screams have been heard emanating from and around the Banyan tree. The voices seem to be calling out indistinct names. People who try to take photos after 7 often end up with blurry photos or photos filled with a white wisp.
