Recently you all must have seen in the movie "Bajirao Mastani"

Shaniwarwada is an 18th-century fortification in the city of Pune in Maharashtra, India. Built in 1732,it was the seat of the Peshwa rulers of the Maratha Empire until 1818, when the Peshwas lost control to the East India Company after the Third Anglo-Maratha War. Following the rise of the Maratha Empire, the palace became the center of Indian politics in the 18th century.
The fort itself was largely destroyed in 1828 by an unexplained fire, but the surviving structures are now maintained as a tourist site.

Behind the Fort's paranormal activities there are story of the assassination, greed for power and betrayal and hence this place is also known as haunted place. On the night of every new moon this place becomes a place of horror. Local people often hear a sound "KAKA MALA VACHWA" (uncle save me) from the Fort in the new moon night as the spirit till now utters its last words of his past mortal life.
