Take a trip or stay the night to experience the eerie presence of the ghosts and spirits in these places.
Borgvattnet (The Haunted Vicarage), Sweden
Witness the ghost of the lady in gray wandering through the rooms, or the apparition of the three women staring without a flicker of the eye. You can also experience cold touches at midnight here.
If the mere ideas of these events brought a chill down the spine, imagine how scary the real encounter would be. These ghost encounters are so creepy that the keepers are even offering certificates to those who would dare stay the night.
Surprise Guests

Castle Of Good Hope, Cape Town, South Africa
Having a rich history attracts tons of visitors. Unfortunately, the first guests in this place are spirits.
The gruesome history of torturous punishments inflicted on the soldiers has made this place a dwelling ground for their souls. The Castle of Good Hope or the Goede Hoop houses a number of haunted places within its precincts. This includes the battlements, bastion grounds, bell tower, and even the parapets.
You can find the spirits’ presence everywhere.
Surprise Guests

Stanley Hotel-Estes Park, USA
Room no. 217, which is infamous for its eerie happenings and supernatural events, would definitely send chills down the spine. Like every other haunted place, this hotel also has tons of mysterious stories as to how the chambermaid’s spirit started wandering there.
We dare you to stay the night in the same room if you are an unmarried couple.
Surprise Guests
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, the head chambermaid, who was injured in the gas blast that took place in the infamous room no. 217 would visit you at night and do her routine work. Sometimes, she’d do way more than that!
Ancient Ram Inn-Gloucestershire, England

Waverly Hills Sanatorium-Kentucky, United States
This place is an old tuberculosis sanatorium where thousands of patients were exposed to brutal experiments. With more than 6,000 people killed there, it is believed to be filled with spirits.
While this story creeps us, the story of room no. 502, where a nurse committed suicide, is way more spooky. Footsteps thumping, screaming voices, and flickering lights are common there. Some people even experienced hearing balls rolling, muffled conversations, and other paranormal activities in the place.
Surprise Guests

Banff Springs Hotel-Alberta, Canada
Seeing an apparition of a bride dancing with her gown in flames can give goosebumps to any visitor. Located amidst a picturesque surrounding, hotel Banff Springs is one of the most haunted places in Canada. These uncanny and hair-raising presences can scare even the bravest of hearts.

Bhangarh Fort-Rajasthan, India
A warning signboard denying the permission to stay after sunset and before sunrise would welcome you to this fort. Legends say that the eerie state of the fort is because of a black magician’s spell (or curse). This curse lives on and no spirit has ever lived here in peace.
Surprise Guest
While some can feel a strange presence watching them throughout the trip, others have seen the apparition of a small boy locked inside a dark room.
