Eerie Ancient Ruins That Tell Forgotten Stories
19. Ross Island, Andaman Islands, India: Colonial Ghosts in the Jungle
Once the opulent administrative headquarters for the British in the Andaman Islands, Ross Island is now an eerie ghost town slowly being reclaimed by the tropical jungle. Decaying Victorian bungalows, a Presbyterian church with vines snaking through its windows, overgrown tennis courts, and a desolate cemetery tell a vivid story of colonial ambition succumbing to nature. The island's dark past as a penal colony adds another layer of somberness. Wandering its deserted pathways, with tree roots bursting through floors, feels like stepping into a forgotten, haunted era.
