In Pune's Ancient Fortress, on Full Moon Nights Someone Shouts "Uncle, Save Me"

In Pune, India, there is an ancient fortress called Shaniwar Wada, built in the 18th century; it was the palace where the prime ministers of the Maratha dynasty lived. A great fire in 1828 is said to have burned for seven days and seven nights, leaving only stone walls behind, and it has since become a tourist attraction.

There is a story about it: in 1773, the prime minister Narayan Rao, a seventeen-year-old boy, was plotted against by his uncle and aunt, who had palace guards break in to kill him. He ran through the corridors of the palace, shouting: "Uncle, save me!"

His uncle heard him, but did not come out.

The boy was killed, his body chopped into pieces and thrown into the river.

Since then, the legend goes that every full moon night, the voice of a boy can be heard in the fortress, shouting the same phrase.

Locals basically don't go there after dark, tourists are required to leave before sunset, and the Archaeological Survey of India has restricted entry at night.

Some tourists have written that visiting during the day is just an empty stone city, a huge wooden gate, a few broken walls, and an empty pool; as for what happens at night, they can't put it into words.
