Who doesn't like visiting places that have a touch of beauty and a lot of fright?
Many of us do or are at least intrigued to know about it. Well, we are one of them.
Even thinking about these locations can send a chill down your spine.
Some people call it energy, some call it a vibe, some call it spirits, and some call it ghosts. There are many ways they are described, but what we are trying to say is that if you are a believer in these energies or paranormal activities, then you are at the right place.
All these stories date back centuries ago and have been passed on for generations.
This article covers five places around the world that are known for their hauntings.
1. Ancient Ram Inn
- It is supposedly said to be the ancient pagan burial ground where a witch was burned after she was captured.
- It surely does have an interesting and haunting past.
- It has a dark past intertwined with dark magic, and it is said that various spirits reside here.
- This place is open for paranormal enthusiasts who are brave enough to stay the night or tour the place.
- You will end up coming back with an experience of a lifetime or find the skeletons of children who were stabbed to death at this very place (as claimed by the now-deceased owner).
2. Venice's Poveglia Island
- This place is a scary forbidden rollercoaster ride where hundreds of ill and dying people were sent to die, and many were burned during the Bubonic Plague.
- The lofty bell tower of the institution was where the doctor who used to test on patients after this place was turned into an asylum hanged himself after going insane.
- Locals claim to still hear the bell's chimes echo from the remote island, even though the tower's bell was dismantled decades ago.
- Currently, the entire island is deserted; both residents and visitors are forbidden from going there, and fishermen stay away from the cursed location.
- It continues to frighten people, and it is believed that something horrible occurred on the island, taking many lives along with it.
3. Bhangarh Fort in Rajasthan, India
-
The fort has ominous vibes, and entering it at night is banned.
-
It is said that this place is cursed by a priest and if a roof is built on the houses, they collapse mysteriously.
-
This fort and its surroundings are so beautiful that it's often called hauntingly beautiful.
-
Some people report that they have heard noises from this fort and can feel people following them around.
-
It is rumoured that ghosts roam inside, causing a flurry of paranormal activity to take place there.

4. Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah
-
A public cemetery with the ghost of little Gracie wandering around.

She is often seen playing and greeting people coming to their family hotel.
-
Her eerie statue is rumoured to shed actual tears while sobbing on occasion.
-
Many people believe Savannah, Georgia, to be the most haunted city in the country and a good place where ghost tours are offered.
-
Other sculptures may be seen in the cemetery, and many have said that when you stand next to them, the statues either frown or grin.
5. Florida's St. Augustine Lighthouse
- The giggles of little girls still fill the air in the spirit of finding a partner for their favourite game of hide and seek.
- Because of the tragedy that occurred at this lighthouse, it is now haunted by not one, but many spirits.
- So we suggest that you take the ghost tour, but if you find children giggling, don't turn around.
