Haunted Place

Isla de las Munecas, Mexico

Xochimilco has achieved some level of internet renown for its Island of the Dolls despite being a UNESCO World Heritage site for its well-preserved relics of Aztec life. The location, which is tucked away among the numerous canals in the area, is well-known for the hundreds of dolls—and doll parts—hanging from trees and lying around on the ground. The chinampa, which is equivalent to an artificial island, was formerly the home of a now-deceased man by the name of Julian Santa Barrera, despite the fact that it could appear more like a horror film set. Barrera gathered and displayed the toys in an effort to fend off evil spirits after discovering a deceased girl's body in a nearby canal, according to National Geographic. Those who are daring can rent their own boat and view the

Al Madam, United Arab Emirates

Ghost towns have a hauntingly alluring quality, and Al Madam is no exception. The community, which is roughly 40 miles southeast of Dubai, was probably erected in the 1970s and abandoned not long after; according to local lore, djinn (shape-shifting ghosts) scared everyone out of the area. Al Madam still has a ghostly feel to it despite the fact that no one is sure if the spirits have stayed. This is because of the dunes that are encroaching on the two rows of homes and a mosque, the waves of sand that break through the broken windows, and the seemingly endless ochre desert that stretches out in every direction.

St. Augustine Lighthouse, Florida

More than 216,000 people visit the St. Augustine Lighthouse each year, but it's also well known for its otherworldly visitors. The claimed paranormal activity has been attributed to a number of catastrophic incidents that happened at the now-historic place. A lighthouse keeper's ghost who perished after falling to his death while painting the tower has been seen patrolling the area. Visitors have reported hearing children playing in and around the lighthouse ever since the horrifying drowning of three young girls, who perished when the cart they were playing in broke and plummeted into the water.

Gunnuhver, Iceland

Wait till you learn the history of Gunnuhver, Iceland's biggest geothermal mud pool, if you didn't already think it had an otherworldly feel. Gunna, a woman who resided on this section of the Reykjanes Peninsula some 400 years ago, is honoured by the area's name. Her spirit returned home after starving to death to brutally murder her former landlord and his wife. The locals asked the priest to deal with their minor ghost issue, which he did by tossing Gunna into a scalding hot pool of mud. While there haven't been any more paranormal killings since then, some tourists say they occasionally catch a glimpse of Gunna's ghostly figure through the pools' billowing mist.

Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah

The entire city of Savannah is essentially one big ghost story, with eerie legends surrounding everything from breweries to public parks. But few urban locations inspire the same reverence as Bonaventure Cemetery, which is covered with gloomy Spanish moss and weathered Victorian monuments. Although many famous people are buried here, including the musician Johnny Mercer and the poet Conrad Aiken, dark tourists should throng to the tomb of Gracie Watson. Her tomb is marked by a life-size marble statue of her with her hand resting on a tree stump as a representation of her life being cut short at the young age of six. Several visitors leave toys at her grave, and some people claim to have seen Gracie's spirit there. More eerie stories about the cemetery
