the top 10 most haunted houses in the world.
Haunting this list in at number 10 we have the Old Vicarage.
Borgvattnet is a small village in Northern Sweden that is renowned for having one of
the most haunted houses in the country.
Many people have claimed to have witnessed paranormal beings roaming the hallways or
sitting at the end of the bed watching people as they slept.
There is another report of a person being thrown out of his chair regularly by an unseen
force.

certificate to prove it.
Scaring us in at number 9 is the Banff springs hotel.
This hotel is located in Alberta, Canada and it was built over 125 years ago but don’t

country.
There have been terrifying reports of seeing a bride falling down the staircase and breaking
her neck after panicking when her dress caught on fire.
There are also reports from many people claiming to see a family who was murdered in this hotel.
Sending chills down our spine in at number 8 is the Eastern State Penitentiary.
Built in 1829, this former prison in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is known for being the first
prison of its kind to introduce solitary confinement.
Because of this, many prisoners were driven to insanity and as a result, solitary confinement
was abolished in that prison.
But since then, there have been many reports of shadowy figures roaming the cells, ghostly
faces, strange sounds of footsteps/whispering and banging of cell doors.
There have even been reports of an evil cackling and dark figures in the guard tower.
What’s even more scarier is the Waverly Hills Sanitorium which comes in at number
7.
This building originally served as a tuberculosis hospital throughout the early to mid-20th
century.
It is estimated that about 63,000 patients died there and the death toll was a result
of mistreatment and questionable experimental procedures done on the patients.
Many ghost investigators have been to this building and they have reported seeing full
bodied apparitions, creepy shadows, screams in empty rooms, footsteps and sudden cold
spots.
Next up on this scary list in at number 6 we have The Tower of London.
This place has a history of torture and executions that date back over 900 years.
There have been many reports of paranormal sightings at the Tower of London over the
years but one of the most infamous sighting is Anne Boleyn who was the wife of King Hentry
VIII.
She was beheaded back in 1536 and her headless body has been seen walking around the corridors
There are also reports of seeing two children wearing nightgowns, holding hands and looking
terrified.
Apparently, one day they just vanished and it was assumed that they were murdered by
their uncle because they were deemed illegitimate by the Parliament.
So now their spirts roam this haunted place.
Number 5 is the Monte Cristo Homestead.
This super scary house is considered to be one of the most haunted locations in all of
Australia.
It was built in 1885 and from that moment on, there have been a lot of tragic events
that occurred on the property.
The family that owned it witnessed many deaths including a tragic incident of a young child
who died when they were dropped down the stairs.
Also, a maid died when she fell from the balcony and a stable boy burned to death.
There was also a mentally ill man who was chained up to the caretaker’s cottage for
40 years and he was found curled up next to his dead mothers’ body.
Number 4 brings us to the Ancient Ram Inn.
This house was built in 1145 and it is believed to be the most haunted house in the entire
British Isles.
Apparently, there was a lot of child sacrifices, devil worship and evil spirts that are behind
these terrifying hauntings.
When this house was used as a bed and breakfast, people would often flee in the middle of the
night because they saw ghosts, had the feeling of being touched/pulled, heard voices or just
felt an evil presence.
And now in at Number 3 is Fort George In Nova Scotia, Canada.
This location has had hundreds of reports of ghost sightings over the years.
A little girl is said to follow the groups taking part in the ghost tours, with group
members often experience her holding their hands.
Other reports include strange voices, unexplained bangs and knocks, mists captured on film,
the feeling of being watched, sudden feeling of nausea, sudden gusts of winds in closed
rooms, furniture moving, doors banging and on occasion, people have been pushed by an
unseen force.
Number 2 Brings us to Franklin Castle in Cleveland, Ohio.
For years, there have been countless stories of doors that have exploded off of their hinges,
lights that spun around on their own, electrical circuits that behaved erratically and unexplainable
sounds of a baby crying and even a woman in black who has been spotted stating out from
a small window in the front tower room.
There have been many murders and diabolical events that have occurred in this house and
that is why it is so haunted.
Finally in at number 1 we have the Amityville house.
On November 13, 1974 the estate was the scene of a mass marder.
Using a riffle, 23 year old Ronald J. DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family while they
were asleep, which included his parents and four siblings. 13 months later, the Lutz family
purchased the home at a drastically reduced price because of the murders.
But they only lasted 28 days before leaving it.
Apparently the family claimed to smell strange odors and see green slime oozing out of the
walls and keyholes and experience cold spots in certain areas of the house.
They also claimed to have been woken up, levitating off of their beds and waking up repeatedly
at 3:15am every morning which was around the time that Ron DeFeo carried out his murders.
Well there you guys have it…
