Actor Nargis Fakhri looked back on first moving to India to pursue an acting career, after having grown up in New York, and then having lived in Europe and South East Asia. She said that for the first couple of days, she couldn’t muster the courage to leave her temporary accommodation. And when she got her own apartment, she quickly discovered that something wasn’t quite right.

In an interview with Mashable Middle East, Nargis said that the apartment was next to a cemetery, and that she experienced strange activity that forced her to move out. “I got an apartment, it was on Hill Road, near the cemetery. I only lasted three days,” she said.

Nargis continued her ghost story, “I kept having this weird dream, and waking up at 3 in the morning… The ‘hauntedness’ was crazy. I mean, this dream was so scary. It was a man that looked like a ghost. He was like 6 foot 5, white, pale, scary guy that would take me to the cemetery. Then he would dig his hand in the cemetery, and then pull out bones of people and eat the flesh and ask me to eat some. That was my dream. Four days in a row.”

Nargis asked her ‘team’ to bring her to Delhi, which is where she moved next. But then, the people who came to pack her bags and collect her things told her that they found ‘six dead baby birds’ in her cabinet. “Isn’t that weird? I don’t know what was happening there,” she said.

Nargis also revealed that during her short stay in that apartment, her jewellery got stolen by a maid who’d been recommended to her. “But it’s okay, you move on, I’m not materialistic,” she said. Nargis is best known for her roles in the films Rockstar, Madras Cafe and Main Tera Hero. She also appeared in the Hollywood film Spy.
