In ancient times, people in cities like Baghdad and Mecca believed that djinn lived in certain places, especially abandoned ruins, deserts, or old wells. One famous story comes from Baghdad, a city full of rich history. It was said that djinn haunted the ruins of old buildings, especially at night. Locals believed that strange voices, sudden cold winds, and flickering lights were signs of djinn nearby. Travelers were warned not to wander alone after dark, or they might encounter these tricky spirits.
In Mecca, an old tale tells of a djinn living near the Zamzam Well. Long ago, it was believed that djinn gathered around this sacred water source. Some stories even claimed that people who went there at night would hear whispers or see shadows moving quickly, making them believe the djinn were watching.
Djinn was thought to dwell in these places because they preferred isolated areas away from humans. People believed the djinn could either harm or help them, depending on their mood. Some locals would leave offerings, hoping to keep the spirits happy.
These stories of djinn hauntings have been passed down through generations, and even today, many people in the Middle East still tell these tales, reminding us of the mysterious world of the djinn that lives alongside our own.
