I hope it does't get lost between all those "generally helpful" posts.
In the symphony of numbers, 58 is a note that creates the melody of life, adding different and pleasant nuances to the composition of counting
58 indicates that numbers can also have characters, like characters in a story bringing drama, action, and sometimes, even a bit of magic
As if being a star in the world of mathematics, the number 58 shines with uniqueness and charm, stirring our imagination in every calculation
Before you could launch a website like it was a cake in the oven, you needed a mammoth machine bigger than your house called a mainframe. Only universities and big corporations could afford such beasts, until 1969 when J.C.R. Licklider dreamt up the "Intergalactic Computer Network." This "network of networks" laid the groundwork for sharing computing power, paving the way for today's web hosting we all take for granted!
The term "web hosting" was first coined in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the WWW. As the internet gained popularity, the need for dedicated servers to host websites became apparent, giving birth to the web hosting industry.

CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Kuldhara, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan
Once upon a time, there was a well-off village near Jaisalmer. One night, it just vanished.
The village of Kuldhara had 84 villages and within a night, it ceased to exist. People say that villagers left their homes but no one saw them leaving. How? Why? Where? These questions remain unanswered.
According to an urban legend India, a minister wanted to marry the daughter of the village chief. When rejected, the minister warned them to give him the girl within 24 hours or they will face consequences.
The entire village thought of leaving rather than to give in to his cruel intent. But before they took-off, they put a curse of death on Kuldhara village. After that day, anybody that tried to live here faced death.
CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Malcha Mahal
A 14th-century hunting lodge, Malcha Mahal was built by the Sultan of Delhi – Feroz Shah Tughlaq. Later in the 19th-century, the rulers of Oudh, Uttar Pradesh took over the mahal in New Delhi.
Britishers took over in 1856 and the Mahal’s king, Wajid Ali Shah was sent to Kolkata. After years, Wajid’s angry daughter announced a legal battle with the Indian government.
And when she finally got custody of Malcha Mahal, she moved in with her two children. No one to this date knows why she committed suicide several years later and left her children with the treasure and property.
Legend has it that the descendants of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah isolated themselves and continued to live here. People have often been gunned down and have bounds set on them. The guards of the nearby Earth Centre claimed to see journalists sneaking in Malcha Mahal and never returning.
CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Bhangarh Fort
All the Delhi people may or may have not known about this. Ghost enthusiasts are intrigued to visit this fort situated on the outskirts of Delhi.
It was built by Raja Bhagwant Singh in 1573 AD and is among the most haunted places in India. Moreover, the Archeological Survey of India has forbidden access to the fort after sunset and asked the locals to move outside the limits of the Bhangarh fort.
There are two legends of this place. The first one mentions the city of Bhangarh to have been cursed by a religious man called Baba Balak Nath. He permitted the fort’s construction but made a condition to not cast a shadow over his home.
He also warned that if this happened, he would ruin the city. What do you think happened? The fort formed a shadow over his house and he cursed the town along with the Bhangarh fort. People also say that his body is still buried there.
The second legend is about a wizard named Singiya. He was head over heels in love with the Princess of Bhangarh, Ratnavati.
So, to win her over, he put a spell on a fragrance and asked her maid to give her. The Princess was aware of this and his plan spoiled. Enraged, the wizard cursed the city. Many people believe that his ghosts still haunt the place.
People also say that Princess Ratnavati reincarnated in a new body and Bhangarh Fort is still waiting for her to put an end to this curse.

https://ihplb.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/bullet-baba-jodhpur-rajasthan.jpg
One of the recent urban legend India of Jodhpur features the 350 cc Royal Enfield deity, “Bullet Baba”.
According to legend, Om Banna died some 20 years ago while driving his bullet and was passing through Jodhpur. The police came and took the bullet to the police station. It is surprising to know that it keeps on disappearing from the station only to be found at a new place each time.
The news spread like a forest fire and this bike is now placed inside a temple. People offer a “Bullet” brand beer to keep his ghost satisfied.
So, next time you pass through Pali-Jodhpur highway, don’t honk and make sure to worship him, or else you won’t make it to your destination alive.

CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Aarey Colony
White saree, messed up hair, car chasing? Sounds familiar? This has been the basic storyline of several movies. And you probably already know this!
What if this becomes reality and your biggest nightmare?
Situated in the suburbs of Goregaon, Aarey Colony is known for chasing ghost stories. Serving as a picnic spot in the daytime, this colony becomes a hub for ghosts at night.
Many filmmakers shoot at this very location that had frightened the crew members in the past. Also, people say they have seen a woman lurking around late at night. The guards of the Aarey Colony also claim to have heard and seen a lady ghost that chases and stops the people driving around.
And, if you will not stop, she will scare the hell out of you!
The colony was in news recently after environmental activists protested again cutting of trees for laying tracks for metro trains.

CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Lakkidi Gateway
DO NOT take other people’s credit! Yes, this urban legend of India is based on credit theft only.
So, this story comes from the Wayanad district of Kerala, particularly from Thamarassery Ghat Pass. It is believed to be haunted by a local tribesman called Karinthandan.
Legend says that a British once took help from this tribesman and that’s when this tale began. He wanted to find the shortest route to cross over the Thamarassery pass to gain access to the treasure trove of Wayanad. So, the tribesman, being a nice person, helped him.
What did the Britisher give him in return? Thank you? We wish! He brutally murdered him and took all the credit for finding this route.
After a while, travelers passing through the Lakkidi Gateway reported seeing the wandering ghost of Karinthandan.
A priest was also called to chain his ghost to a tree. Surprisingly, this chain has grown with the tree, which people think to be the spirit of Karinthandan that has not been freed till now.
CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
The Legend of the Seven Pagodas
As the name suggests, this is the legend of the mystical Seven Pagodas. And they have an undefined mystery.
Mahabalipuram’s legend states that during the eighth century, the Shore Temple – a UNESCO World Heritage Site was accompanied by six other temples.
These pagodas were so breathtaking that even gods couldn’t resist admiring their beauty. They got “jealous”! Can you believe it? The Pagodas must be hella gorgeous!
However, Lord Indra instigated a storm that engulfed the whole city underwater except for one, the Shore Temple. During the tsunami of December 2004, century-old residues were seen on the ocean floor and were speculated to be the remains of these mysterious pagodas.
CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Morgan House
A beautiful house of wood and stone, ivy-covered walls, and stunning exteriors. Sounds like a dream house most of us want to live in!
Sorry to disappoint but Morgan House is among this list for a reason. Now managed by the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation, Morgan House was once a British mansion.
According to legend, the spirit of Lady Morgan still lives in this house. After all, we cannot be mad at her for living in her own home, right?
She was so attached to her house that she decided not to leave even after her death. Did you expect an end? There is none. That was all!
The good news is that it has been turned into a heritage boutique hotel that you can actually visit.

CREEPY STORIES FROM INDIA
Broken Bridge in Besant Nagar
Ever heard of a broken bridge that leads to nowhere? You can find one in Adyar, an upbeat locality near the placid beaches in Chennai like Santhome Beach and Elliot’s Beach. This bridge was built to help fishermen cross over, but could not stand the test of time and turbulent waves and it broke down. It has since then been said that the bridge became the walkway to strange happenings. Fishermen proclaim that they have heard squeamish screams in the wee hours of the night that they believe to be of the woman who had been attacked and raped here. Dead bodies without any traces of accidents and identity have been recovered on numerous occasions near the bridge.
