Ghost Walk
Esplanade and Dalhousie Square, Calcutta (Kolkata)
It was the sound of piano, isolated notes and then a complete string of music, then the loud dong of the St, John’s Church bell announcing 1:45 am, this was all part of the Ghost walk of Esplanade and Dalhousie area in Calcuta.
The idea of a ghost walk of Calcutta was conceived by my friend Anthony Khatchaturian, a Calcutta Armenian of the famous Galstaun lineage, along with Dr. Souvik Mukherjee of Presidency University. The route was soon chalked out and the Anthony did all the running and arranged for permissions and police escorts.
