Hello boils and ghouls, welcome to Fright Night.
So the paranormal has always been something
that has fascinated mankind.
Many people believe that there is more to this world,
and that there may exist another layer of reality,
that we are not privy to simply because we are alive.
Our world is filled with countless places that have been
documented to have regular supernatural happenings.
While some brush it off as ghost stories,
others chalk it up to a demonic presence.
Regardless of what side you're on,
there's no denying the creepiness of these places.
Here they are, the 10 most haunted places on earth.
Number 1 is the Eastern State Penitentiary.
Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States,
this former prison housed some of the most
deranged criminals in the country.
Built in 1829, it was the first prison of it's kind,
to introduce solitary confinement,
causing many of those confined to go insane
due to the fact that they were forced to eat,
live, and exercise completely alone.
Because this prison was overly harsh,
it was abandoned in 1971.
Since then, paranormal activity has reportedly increased,
with reports of shadowy figures roaming the halls,
ghostly faces being witnessed in cell block 4,
and even evil cackling being heard at night.
The city of brotherly love is also, apparently,
the city of creepy haunted prisons. Who knew?
Number 2 is the Waverly Hills Sanitorium.
Located in Kentucky in the United States,
this building served as a tuberculosis hospital
in the mid-twentieth century,
at a time when the disease was at it's worst.
It's believed that as many as 63,000 patients
died within it's walls, many of which were mistreated,
and had experimental procedures conducted on them.
The building has been featured on shows such as
Ghost Adventurers and Ghost Hunters.
The findings of the shows, as well as those
who visit the property all say the same thing.
Appearances of full-bodied apparitions,
screams coming from empty rooms,
and a continuing re-appearance by a small boy,
known only as Tim.
Tim alone is a good enough reason
for me to stay the hell away from this place.
I mean, I hate kids in horror movies,
so forget about real life. Damn.
Number 3 is the Monte Cristo Homestead.
Located in Junee, New South Wales, Australia,
this building is regarded as the most haunted
location in the country.
Since it was built in 1885,
several tragic events have occurred there,
including the death of a young child
who was dropped down the stairs,
a maid who fell to her death from the balcony,
and a young boy who burnt to death on the property.
There were also murders that occurred there,
as well as a particularly disturbing story
about a mentally ill man named Harold,
the was the son of a caretaker,
that was chained up in the building for 40 years,
where he eventually died.
Tickets for the ghost tour are $12 for adults,
and only $6 for children.
Right, because that's a great place to take your kids.
See that over there, Johnny?
That's where a boy about your age burned alive.
Number 4 is the Castle of Good Hope.
Located in Capetown, South Africa,
this building was erected in the 17th Century,
and is the country's oldest colonial building.
Once an establishment for soldiers,
it has since become a paranormal playground.
Apparitions of men jumping to their deaths
from the side of the castle is a regular occurrence,
as are sightings of the lady in grey,
who has been seen running through the castle,
holding her face, crying hysterically.
There was even once a solider
who was found hanging from the bell rope of the tower,
overlooking the castle entrance,
and every once in a while,
the bell will be heard ringing itself.
Wow! That's creepy.
Excuse me while I never go to the Castle of Hope.
Number 5 is the the Ancient Ram Inn.
Located in Gloucestershire, England,
this inn is believed to be the most haunted house
in the entire British Isles, while others believe it to be
the most haunted house in the world.
Built in 1145 on a Pagan burial ground,
child sacrifices, devil worship and other demonic events
have all occurred here.
Those who have stayed there have been known to
flee in the middle of the night,
after seeing full-bodied apparitions in their rooms,
while others report being touched or even pulled
by these same forces.
If that wasn't disturbing enough,
the current owner found 2 child skeletons,
as well as broken daggers,
underneath the staircase.
A night here will cost you anywhere between 25-30 pounds.
Sweet dreams!
Number 6 is Fort George.
Located at the summit of Citadel Hill,
in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada,
this star-shaped fort is known as Canada's
most haunted historic site.
Originally constructed in 1749,
this property has been in the site of several wars.
Ghosts of soldiers are regularly seen walking the grounds,
as well as various men in red cloaks,
and a little girl who is said to occasionally
follow groups taking the ghost tour.
Unexplained bangs, knocks, mist,
as well as disembodied voices,
are all commonplace here.
The worst reports are of people becoming suddenly naseous,
or being pushed by an unseen force.
Doesn't a ghost tour here sound like fun?
Bring the whole family!
You might lose a member or two, but hey, bring them anyway!
Number 7 is Chateu de Brissac.
Located in Maine-et-Loire, France,
it's the tallest castle in the country.
Originally built in 1502 by Charles the 2nd Duke of Brissac,
both inside and out exude old-world charm,
however something more sinister lurks within its walls.
A double murder that occurred in the 15th Century
has resulted in the emergence of the Green Lady,
who roams the halls frightening guests
with her nightly moans.
The terrifying thing about the woman in the green dress
is her face which is said to have gaping holes,
where her eyes and nose should be,
resembling a walking corpse.
Kind of like this!
There's a nightmare for you!
Number 8 is the Huanted Vicarage.
Located in the small village Borgvattnet in Northern Sweden,
this building is the most haunted house,
in all of the country.
Built in 1876, paranormal encounters have been happening
here for over 100 years.
Sudden appearances of spirits are common-place here.
One one such occasion, a women staying in a guest room
was suddenly awoken by what she perceived to be a ghost,
of a 3 year old sitting on her bed staring at her.
In another instance, in 1945,
a man was suddenly thrown out of his chair,
by an invisible force.
The building is currently a resturaunt,
as well as a guest house.
If you are able to stay the whole night,
you get a certificate to prove it!
Wow, that's quite the selling feature.
Hey, stay at our place,
and if you're able to survive the night,
you get a certificate! Book now!
Number 9 is Poveglia Island.
Located in Venice, Italy is the small island of Poveglia.
This island was inhabited since the year 421,
until it was abandoned in the 14th century.
This island eventually became a quarantine colony,
when the bubonic plague struck Europe,
where many Venetians were sent to die,
with their dead infected bodies being burned on giant pyres.
It was then used as a mental asylum in the 1800's,
where ill-treatment and unethical procedures
occurred on the patients kept there.
Today the entire island remains abandoned,
as locals will not step foot on it,
for fear of being cursed or possessed by the ghosts
of the patients that still roam it.
Even fishermen refuse to fish in the area,
for fear of dragging up human remains.
So if you visit Italy, just stick to espresso and pasta,
definitely don't visit this island,
or you could be possessed.
Ain't nobody got time for that!
And number 10, the Myrtles Plantation.
Located in St. Francisville Louisiana in the United States,
this house is said to be haunted by several restless ghosts.
Believed by many to be one of the most
haunted homes in the world,
several horrific events have occurred here.
Slaves were hung from the property's trees,
2 children were killed on the premises,
and one of the building's owners was shot and killed
on the porch.
The ghosts of which are seen floating around the property
still to this day.
Believe it or not, it has since become a bed and breakfast,
where occupants routinely report scary and bizarre events.
Many people have reported being held down,
and poked all night by a supernatural force,
which really sucks if you're the ghost, because that sounds
like a terrible way to spend the after-life.
Oh, yep, I'm poking you. Scary stuff!
This is how I have to spend eternity.
That's it for this time, guys.
