10 Scariest Haunted Places In The World.

There are more haunted places on earth than anyone can count. The most famous ones tend to be the locations of gruesome deaths or murders, but there are some very creepy spots out there that don't have a violent background. In fact, much of the creepiness comes from being in such a beautiful location and knowing that something terrifying happened there. In this article, I will present you with 10 of the scariest haunted places in the world.

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is a historical site in Weston, West Virginia. The original hospital was built in 1864 and closed down in 1994. The original building is still standing and can be viewed by the public. It is haunted by the spirits of many former patients who died there.

This abandoned asylum is a destination for ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts, who have claimed to hear strange noises and sightings at night.

The Tower of London

The Tower of London is one of the most famous tourist attractions in England, and according to a recent study, it’s also one of the most haunted places in Europe.

As it turns out, the Tower of London is home to a number of ghosts, from Lady Jane Grey to Anne Boleyn and Edith Plantagenet. The Tower of London is a truly chilling place, which is why people come from all over the world to visit it.

Helltown, Ohio

Helltown, Ohio is and has always been, a strange place. It's a place where the dead walk the streets, ghosts are commonplace, and monster sightings are accepted as fact. But what really happened in Helltown? And why does it remain such a haunted place?

On a warm summer night in 1952, something terrible happened in the small town of Helltown. A creature from beyond this world stalked the streets and tore apart five people, leaving their remains scattered about the neighborhood. The police never found out what it was, and the townspeople covered up the incident.

The Villisca Ax Murder House (also known as the Villisca Axe Murder House)

The Villisca Axe Murder House is a historic house in Villisca, Iowa, United States. The house is famous for having been the site of a murder that resulted in eight deaths. The murders occurred in the early morning hours of June 10, 1912, and remain unsolved to this day.

The house is still privately owned by the Moore family. It has been designated as a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service and is open for tours by appointment only.

The Winchester Mystery House

The Winchester Mystery House is a famous California house that was under construction from 1884 until her death in 1922. Sarah Winchester, the heiress to the Winchester Rifle fortune, had psychic visions that told her she was being haunted by the souls of people killed by Winchester rifles.

Sarah believed that the only way to appease these restless spirits was to build a house for them—a house big enough to keep them busy for all time. To make sure that she didn’t die before it was finished, Sarah also built-in lots of secret staircases and doors—so she could continue to live in the house while.

The Queen Mary (passenger ship)

The Queen Mary is a retired Cunard liner that sailed primarily on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line. She was designed by Leonard Peskett and was his first major project for the company.

She was the flagship of the Cunard fleet and the largest passenger ship in the world from 1936 to 1967. She is currently a permanently moored tourist attraction in Long Beach, California.

"Queen Mary" was named after Mary of Te

The Stanley Hotel

The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado is the inspiration for The Overlook Hotel in Stephen King’s classic horror novel, The Shining. It was built on top of a prehistoric Indian burial ground (just like the Overlook Hotel) and has been the setting of countless ghost stories and paranormal activity.

Since its construction in 1909, the hotel has hosted tens of thousands of guests. Many have reported strange occurrences such as disembodied voices, moving furniture, apparitions, and a general sense of unease.

Alcatraz Island

Alcatraz Island, also known as “The Rock,” is one of the most famous prisons in the world. It was opened to house military prisoners in 1859 and remained open for a total of 29 years. During that time it was home to some of the most notorious criminals in US history, including Al Capone, George “Machine Gun” Kelly, and Robert Franklin Stroud (the Birdman).

Alcatraz closed in 1963, and since then has become a popular tourist destination. Some tourists come to see the historic prison building, while others arrive looking for ghosts.

The Edinburgh Castle

The Edinburgh Castle is one of the most iconic structures in history, and to this day it is still a popular tourist attraction. The castle has been a central icon in Scottish culture for over a thousand years, and it has played a pivotal role in the nation’s history.

The castle sits on top of Castle Rock Hill and overlooks the city of Edinburgh. It was built between the late 11th century and the early 15th century, and it was the principal residence of Scottish monarchs for about 400 years. Today, it serves as a historic monument and military installation managed by Historic Scotland.

The fort is said to be home to a hunting dog, a headless drummer, and a flute-playing phantom, in addition to being a major tourist attraction back in the day.

Poveglia Island

Poveglia is an island located in the Venetian Lagoon, between Venice and Lido. It is also called Tomb Island or Plague Island.

The history of Poveglia Island is just as unusual and scary as its name suggests. First of all, it was used as a defensive fortress from the 6th Century until 1797.

During World War II, the island became a place for dragging victims of the plague to die away from populated areas. In addition, Poveglia was a quarantine center for people with infectious diseases, including leprosy and typhus.
