  Active since the early 20th century, various apparitions reported include a man who walks the ramparts and a dog that jumps on passersby.  The most interesting story involves the ghost of a woman seen running through the complex crying, and finally disappeared when excavations uncovered a woman’s body.

3. The Tower of London, London, England

30 Most Terrifying Places - 03

Dating back to 1078, this fortress/royal palace has had plenty of time to garner some paranormal activity.  Famous ghosts seen here include the headless ghost of Anne Boleyn, along with Lady Jane Grey and two princes believed to have been murdered by their uncle, Richard III, in 1483.

4. The Ancient Ram Inn, Gloucestershire, England

30 Most Terrifying Places - 04

What could be more terrifying than the prospect of satanic sacrifices and malevolent entities?  This 12th century inn exhibits all of this and more.  Its owner even testifies that the first evening he spent in the house, he was snatched out of bed and dragged across the room by some invisible entity.

5. Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta, Canada

30 Most Terrifying Places - 05

This major historic hotel is home to several different spirits, some kindly, and others rather more unnerving.  A regularly sighted spirit is that of a former bellman who helps with guests’ luggage.  Other such visitors include a bride seen dancing in the ballroom and the ghosts of a murdered family.

6. Chateau de Brissac, Maine-et-Loire, France

30 Most Terrifying Places - 06

Dating back to the 11th century, this beautiful castle was the site of a horrific double murder, resulting in the haunting of the castle by the Lady in Green.  Wearing a green dress, and her face that of a rotting corpse, wanders through the castle moaning.

7. Island of the Dolls, Xochimilco, Mexico

30 Most Terrifying Places - 07

In the ‘50s, a man moved to this island in order to be alone, only to find that it was haunted by the spirit of a little girl who drowned here decades before.  In an attempt to appease her, he bought countless dolls and hung them from the trees.  After a while, he felt that she wasn’t satisfied, and that she wanted him to be a ghost with her.  The same day he confessed this fear to a relative, he was found dead, having drowned in the same spot she did years before.  Their ghosts can now be seen on the island, and the dolls are said to whisper as you walk past.

8. The Sallie House, Atchison, Kansas, United States

30 Most Terrifying Places - 08

Named after the prankish little girl who haunted it, this house also contained a far more malevolent spirit of a woman who escalated so much in violence towards the male owner of the house that he and his family finally moved out of fear for his life.

9. McMenamin’s White Eagle Saloon, Portland, Oregon, United States

30 Most Terrifying Places - 09

When it comes to the physical effects of hauntings, this century-old hotel and bar warrants heavy attention.  Many guests have reported waking up in the night and being unable to leave their beds, as if held down, as well as being shoved down the stairs.

10. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland

30 Most Terrifying Places - 10

Considering that it sits on a site with human activity dating to the Iron Age, it’s little wonder that this castle has accumulated a few supernatural residents.  Commonly reported apparitions include former servants of the castle, a drummer boy – minus his head – and a man who apparently perished within the castle’s tunnels.
