Kashmir is considered to be the paradise on earth, a land where you can see green trees on one side and white glittering snow on the other. Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, this eye-catching region comprises many beautiful lakes, which leave their mark on the mind of any tourist. This is probably been the reason why every year the counting of tourists visiting here is in the millions. But as beautiful and scenic Kashmir is, it is equally mysterious too. Because in the folktales here, we get to know about some such paranormal creatures which are probably not found anywhere else in India.
In Kashmir, tales of some of the world's strangest paranormal creatures are found, such as this creature, known as Bram Bram Chok. It is said to be a beast with a wolf-like appearance, whose body is covered with long dark hair and its head with flaming torchlike eyes emitting bright light at night. This monster lives in the jungles, and if a traveler passes nearby this hulking giant, he loses his way and keeps wandering all night but never reaches his destination. It can even set fire to houses with its supernatural powers when enraged.
