Dow Hill, Kurseong, West Bengal

Dow Hill is a forested ridge above Kurseong in Darjeeling district, West Bengal, home to the British-era Victoria Boys' School and long associated in folklore with a "headless boy" seen by woodcutters and footsteps heard in the empty school. A forest stretch is locally called the "Death Road"; sources note no verified sightings and the tales remain oral tradition. Recorded by PRN as a reported/folkloric case — historical context, not proof.
