1. Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan, India:
The Bhangarh Fort is a 16th-century fort built in the Rajasthan state of India. The town was established during the rule of Bhagwant Das as the residence of his second son, Madho Singh. The fort and its precincts are well preserved.
Bhangarh Fort is one such place, where you will even get to see signboards, warning by The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), you to not remain there after sunset. The history of the fort dates back to the 17th century, and is surely not a place for those with faint hearts. Some visitors even pointed out that they get a weird sense of paranoia as if somebody is following them around. Reason why, despite its popularity, visitors avoid hanging around the premises of the fort for long.
2. Hell Fire Club, Montpelier Hill, Ireland:
Montpelier Hill is a 383 metres (1,257 foot) hill in County Dublin, Ireland. It is commonly referred to as the Hell Fire Club the popular name given to the ruined building at the summit believed to be one of the first Freemason lodges in Ireland. This building – a hunting lodge built in around 1725 by William Conolly – was originally called Mount Pelier and since its construction the hill has also gone by the same name. The building and hill were respectively known locally as 'The Brass Castle' and 'Bevan's Hill', but the original Irish name of the hill is no longer known although the historian and archaeologist Patrick Healy has suggested that the hill is the place known as Suide Uí Ceallaig or Suidi Celi in the Crede Mihi, the twelfth-century diocesan register book of the Archbishops of Dublin.
One of the best-known of these tells of a stranger who arrived at the club on a stormy night. Invited in, he joined the members in a card game. One player dropped his card on the floor and when he bent under the table to retrieve it noticed that the stranger had a cloven hoof. At this point, the visitor disappeared in a ball of flame. This story, which is found in texts from at least the 1930s, is very similar to one associated with Loftus Hall, County Wexford.
Monte Cristo Homestead, Australia:
Monte Cristo Homestead is a historic homestead located in the town of Junee, New South Wales, Australia. Constructed by local pioneer Christopher William Crawley in 1885, it is a double-storey late-Victorian-style manor standing on a hill overlooking the town.
The homestead is haunted by at least 10 ghosts. Some of them more prominent than others. One thing is for sure: the previous owners hated animals. And they hate them in the afterlife as well. When the Ryan’s came home one night, they found all their chickens strangled to death in their poultry run. Also, their parrot was choked to death in its cage. And a litter of kittens, raised in their breakfast room, were all brutally killed.
Christopher Crawley’s ghost now haunts the room in which he died. His spirit is as kind as ever. His wife, on the other hand, hasn’t changed much after death. She still rules the House with an iron fist, judging everyone who dares to enter her house. If she doesn’t like you, she’ll try to scare you out with ice cold air falling on your skin.
4. The Villisca Axe Murder House in Villisca, Iowa:
The Josiah B. and Sara Moore House is a house in Villisca, Iowa, United States. The house was the site of the 1912 brutal murder of eight people, including six children. A documentary has been made about the murder, which remains unsolved. The house was renovated in the 1990s and serves as the Villisca Axe Murder House.
Josiah Moore and his family bought the house in 1903 and lived there until 1912. On the night of June 9, 1912, the six members of the Moore family and two house guests were bludgeoned to death in the residence. All eight victims, including six children, had severe head wounds inflicted with an axe. The murders were reputedly so horrifying that it is said that they took the sinking of the RMS Titanic, which occurred about two months earlier, off the front page of the newspapers.
Multiple paranormal investigations were conducted at the house, resulting in many EVPs, videos, and photographs, leading the creators of Ghost Adventures to suggest that the house is haunted
5. Edinburgh Castle, Scotland:
Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle in Edinburgh, Scotland. It stands on Castle Rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age, although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until 1633. From the 15th century, the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half.
One of the biggest attractions in Scotland’s capital city is also considered to be one of its most haunted. With sections dating back more than 900 years, the historic fortress’s ancient dungeons have led visitors to report sightings of colonial prisoners from the American Revolutionary War and French prisoners from the Seven Years War—and even the ghost of a dog wandering the castle’s dog cemetery.
