There have been numerous reports of paranormal and supernatural occurrences on the beach, wherein people have claimed to hear strange sounds, voices, and sudden outbursts of laughter. Claims of witnessing apparitions and moving orbs, and other inexplicable activities have often been made. According to claims from a Mumbai-based journalist,{{who|date=July 2019}} she is said to have sensed the presence of paranormal entities and experienced other supernatural activities while visiting the beach after dusk. The legend of the beach being haunted is said {{According to whom|date=July 2019}} to be rooted in the widespread belief that the beach was formerly a [[burial ground]] and is also attributed to the black sands and isolated location of the beach. Most of the reports of supernatural occurrences on the beach remain unproven and unverified and might be an urban legend so far. |
