Welcome to HorrorStory.in (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “the website”). This Disclaimer explains the nature of the content published on https://horrorstory.in/ and the limits of our responsibility. By accessing or reading any page on this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer. If you do not agree with any part of it, please stop using the website.
This page should be read together with our [Privacy Policy], [Terms & Conditions], and [Editorial Policy].
1. Purpose of This Website
HorrorStory.in is a Hindi-language literary and entertainment website. We publish original horror fiction, retellings of Indian folklore and legends, informational articles about folk beliefs, and experiences submitted by readers.
All content on this website is published for entertainment, literary, and general informational purposes only. Nothing on this website is intended to be taken as factual reporting, scientific evidence, religious guidance, or professional advice of any kind.
2. Fiction Disclaimer
Most stories published on HorrorStory.in are works of fiction. Unless a story is clearly labelled otherwise:
- All characters, names, places, villages, buildings, organisations, and events are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.
- Any resemblance to actual persons (living or dead), real locations, businesses, or actual events is purely coincidental and unintentional.
- Where a story is set in a real city, state, or region, the location is used only as a backdrop. The events described did not happen there.
Every story on this website carries a label at the top indicating its type. The labels we use are:
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| काल्पनिक कहानी (Fictional Story) | Entirely imagined by the author. Not based on real events. |
| लोककथा / किंवदंती (Folklore / Legend) | Based on a traditional story, belief, or legend. Retold for entertainment; not presented as fact. |
| पाठक का अनुभव — असत्यापित (Reader Account — Unverified) | Submitted by a reader and lightly edited. We have not verified it. |
| जानकारी / लोक-परंपरा (Informational / Folk Tradition) | An article explaining a belief, custom, or legend, with sources where available. |
If you believe a story has been labelled incorrectly, please let us know using the contact details at the end of this page.
3. No Claims About the Paranormal
HorrorStory.in does not claim that ghosts, spirits, witches (chudail, daayan), curses, black magic, or any other supernatural phenomena are real or scientifically proven.
- Words such as “haunted”, “cursed”, or “bhootiya” are used as storytelling devices.
- Descriptions of supernatural events are part of the narrative and should not be understood as evidence that such events occur.
- Where we discuss real places that are popularly described as “haunted”, we are describing local legends and public beliefs, not confirming them. We encourage readers to respect such places, their residents, and applicable laws, and not to trespass or visit unsafe locations at night based on anything they read here.
4. Folklore and Cultural Content
India has a rich tradition of folk stories and regional beliefs. When we retell or explain folklore:
- We do so to preserve and share cultural storytelling, not to promote any belief as true.
- Folk beliefs vary widely by region, community, and family. Our retellings may differ from versions you have heard.
- Informational articles may cite books, articles, or other sources. We try to be accurate, but we cannot guarantee that every detail reflects every regional tradition.
- We do not intend to hurt the religious or cultural sentiments of any person or community. If you feel any content is disrespectful, please contact us and we will review it.
5. We Do Not Promote Superstition, Black Magic, or Harm
Horror fiction often explores dark themes such as tantra, rituals, possession, and curses. Please note:
- We do not endorse, encourage, or promote superstition, black magic, occult rituals, “tantrik” remedies, or any practice described in our stories.
- Nothing on this website should be used as instructions to perform any ritual, remedy, or practice.
- We strongly oppose the practice of accusing real people — especially women — of being a “daayan” or witch. Such accusations have caused serious real-world harm and violence in India and are a crime under several state laws. Our stories are fiction and must remain fiction.
- If you or someone you know is being targeted by superstition-related harassment or violence, please contact local police or the national emergency number 112.
6. Content Advisory and Age Suitability
Our stories contain themes of fear, suspense, death, the supernatural, and occasionally mild violence. Accordingly:
- Content on HorrorStory.in is intended for readers aged 13 years and above.
- We do not publish sexually explicit content, graphic gore, or content that glorifies real-world violence.
- Parents and guardians are encouraged to supervise the online reading of younger children.
- Some readers may find horror content disturbing. If a story makes you uncomfortable, we recommend you stop reading. You are always free to leave a page at any time.
7. Not Professional Advice

- Any mention of health, law, or history within a story is part of the narrative and should not be relied upon for real-world decisions.
