Base jumping involves participants jumping from fixed objects and breaking their fall by using parachutes. The jumper takes a free fall and then just before he hits the ground, opens a parachute. Inconstant speed of the wind and the changing directions add a dangerous twist to the sport. A rage worldwide, this sport is banned in several countries due to the high level of danger involved. “BASE” is actually an acronym that stands for four types of objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs).
India’s first ever base jump was carried out on October 20, 2021 by Lt Colonel Satyendra Verma of the Indian Army from a 450-ft tall Pitampura TV tower building in New Delhi. Meru Peak (6660 m) in the Himalayas, Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Great Trango Towers in Pakistan, El Capitan in Yosemite Valley are some of the world’s famous base jumping sites.
Even though I have read about the supposedly haunted ghost town, your post was worth reading. You have narrated the eerie stories in perfect cadence.
Aah, ‘cadence’ is a nice word and unfortunately not used as much as it should You have the basics in place, Umashankar
Very nice…http://www.fli-ghts.com/

It does sound eerie. And that’s an interesting story they have out there. We should take some psychics along, you know — just for the thrill of it.
Around here, is a Victorian mansion that is believed to house the ghost of the lady who owned it. It appeared on a travel channel show that listed it as one of the most creepiest places and all. On that show there was a medium who spoke of being able to see several spirits and hearing them work (some of were supposedly constructions workers or carpenters or something). It sounded very scary. When I went there, I didn’t get those mysterious vibes that a lot of visitors talk about. I was enjoying the craziness of the construction of the place.
They have night tours, I hear… I’m not sure I am brave enough for THAT!
This blog is fantastic. That not really huge statement, but
its all I could come up with after reading this. You know so much about this
subject. You make it entertaining and you still manage to keep it smart.
Pleasant comment to read at the end of a day, Yazhini! Will try to live up to the standards you now demand
