castles are places of mystery magic and oftentimes of
torture and death they are structures known to have endured dark times and
intense events so it makes sense that they could be
haunted by their past in this video we will explore five of
the world's most haunted castles
corvin castle is the first location on this list and without a doubt
the most magnificent although the picturesque castle appears as though it
belongs in a fairy tale it does have a dark and sinister pass
that has led many to believe the castle could be haunted corvin castle is
perched upon a hill in hanadawa of romania
it has existed there since the 15th century leaving it plenty of time to
accumulate ghastly legends and history some of these legends spawn from the
building's use as both a prison and place of torture corvin castle was
quite creative with its executions and torture methods
even having a bear pit where plenty of prisoners met
their fate being thrown to hungry creatures to be eaten
alive one of the castle's most infamous prisoners
is said to have returned to haunt its dungeons since their death
sometime during the 1400s corvin carso allegedly held vlad sapesh
better known as vlad the impaler or the real life inspiration for bram stoker's
dracula as a prisoner vlad was supposedly held
in a dungeon beneath the hall of knights for some
seven years imprisoned by john hunyadi the then hungarian governor legend has
it that vlad slowly turned mad in this dark dank cell
listening to the constant sound of other prisoners being tortured
or sacrificed to the wild animals kept at the castle
this in turn traumatized him and it is even rumored that vlad
gained his first for blood within this very dungeon forced to survive through
eating and drinking the blood of filthy rats though these
claims are lightly sensationalized vlad's spirit is rumored to exist within
the dungeon to this very day a monk is also said to
haunt the castle after he was walled up inside one of the
towers being caught spying on people of a more noble status than he
some also say that three turkish prisoners continue to haunt the castle
after being murdered in a truly unjust way
up next on this list is lep castle which is likely the most notorious haunted
castle we will talk about in this video lepcasto exists in the irish countryside
of o'falley the partially ruined castle holds a seriously bloody history
and is well known within the paranormal community although this is debated
some say that lept castle dates back to 1250 and was constructed by the o'bannon
clan the structure would go on to endure
caesar's battles and even mass murder one of the most
interesting areas of the castle is known as the bloody chapel
which contains an infamous and special type of dungeon
known as an obliette which translates from french meaning
to forget this tall narrow dungeon consists of one
entry point a small trapdoor at the top where prisoners were dropped to meet
sharp spikes below one of the more recent excavations of
the castle made the grim discovery of this dungeon
and the remains of some 150 people within it
this same chapel was the site of a murder which saw a man kill his brother
a priest in front of shocked onlookers this priest is said to haunt the chapel
area to this day many have even claimed to see light
emanating from the bloody chapel even when it is completely empty late at
night another of the dark stories said to have transpired within the castle's
walls is out of a betrayal amongst rival clans
it is said that the o'carrolls devised and executed a plan of mass murder
at the castle they had just successfully worked with another clan
and invited them to celebrate at the castle over a great feast
this feast however was poisoned and led to the deaths of around 40 men within
the castle some say that many of them remain
trapped to haunt the stone walls of lep castle
to this day many more spirits are said to reside here
including a red lady usually welding a dagger
children and of course the fearsome elemental spirit
described as being hideous horrible and thought to have been conjured up
by black magic
our next haunted destination which is rumored to be an actual portal to hell
is known as husker castle you'll find this place hidden away in a remote part
of the czech republic's countryside but of course surrounded by a whole lot
of mystery this gothic castle dates back to the
late 1200s though the legends surrounding the land
it is built upon span back even longer for this castle is said to have been
built right over the top of a gateway to hell supposedly a great
hole once existed right in this spot locals were scared of it believed that
it was bottomless and considered it to be a real portal to
hell at night hideous beasts were to crawl
out of this hole or sometimes a winged variety would even fly out
just to terrorize anybody in the nearby area stories exist of an experiment that
was conducted on the whole this saw a man who was a condemned
prisoner being lowered into the hole to test
its depth in exchange this man was offered freedom
so he gladly accepted the man was lowered into the hole via a rope
and at first all seemed fine until he began to beg
and scream crying out in pain uncontrollably
upon being hoisted back up to the surface it appeared the man had aged at
least 30 years and his hair had turned completely white
the experience of this all is said to have turned this man
completely mad and he was to die just days later in
order to conceal this gateway to hell husker castle was built with its chapel
said to sit right on top of the hole itself
now protecting those above by concealing the gateway completely
this close proximity to something so evil is said to have caused much of the
paranormal activity that is reported within husker castle
it is said that late at night cries and screams can be heard echoing through the
chapel said to be coming from beneath its
floors and the now covered hell portal people have also cited a headless
apparition a beast-like entity and experience poltergeist activity
within this very haunted castle
our next location brings us to the ruins of chachese castle
in the mountains of slovakia this quaint and crumbling castle remains notorious
for its ties to one of history's darkest figures
the infamous blood countess the castle dates back to the 13th century
and has passed between many prominent families until it was gifted to
elizabeth baffery aka the blood countess as a wedding gift
in 1575. elizabeth is rumored to have tortured
and murdered hundreds of young girls at this castle
in particular within its underground dungeon
the highest reporting of her murder toll stands at 650
and she has been cited as being the most prolific female serial killer in history
by the guinness book of records legend has it that elizabeth would drink and
bathe in the blood of young virgin women in order to retain her own beauty
and youth these dark acts are of course what earned elizabeth her nickname
the blood countess yet many believe she may have been innocent of these crimes
or that they were at least heavily sensationalized
whatever the truth may be people do say that this is an insanely haunted castle
some of the hauntings seem to support the murderous legends of the blood
countess with many people reporting to cite the
apparitions of young girls usually seen crouching over and crying
the ghost of elizabeth baffery herself has even been reported to haunt her
former castle a lot of people have claimed to cite her
and sometimes she is even described as being
faceless it seems plausible that her ghost would still hang around
as she was imprisoned at the castle in a tower for her supposed crimes
and this is where she spent her final days before eventually dying
the most haunted castle on this list holds a fierce reputation in the
paranormal world chillingham castle was built sometime in
the 1300s and acted as a stronghold for england
being extremely close to the scottish border for this reason it certainly saw
its fair share of war and battles many areas of the castle as
well as its surrounding grounds are said to be haunted one place in
particular which is said to contain a lot of energy as the castle's former
torture chamber supposedly a sadistic ex-torturer by the
name of john sage continues to haunt the castle and
in particular this area sage was known as being the
worst of the worst when it came to torture in england
and remains as a truly malevolent presence to this day
it's not uncommon to also hear the cries and screams of agony
still echoing in the dungeon one of the castle's more famous ghosts is that of
the blue boy this ghost haunts one of the castle's
bedrooms known as the pink room sometime during the 20th century the
remains of a young boy wearing blue clothing were discovered
walled up within this very room leading many to believe these remains
belong to the ghost of the blue boy the pantry area is also
said to be haunted by a pale woman seeking water she is believed to have
died from being poisoned within the castle this same room also
leads to a dungeon which also contains an ubleat and is
thought to be haunted by those who suffered there
the ghost of lady mary berkeley also still remains at the castle
along with those who enjoyed a mass execution monks
and a little girl who frequents the chapel this is all before even
considering the hanging trees outside in the grounds as well as the front
driveway known today as devil's walk hey crip keepers thank
