Satan's Hollow, Blue Ash, Ohio: This place has a rather terrifying urban legend attached to it and some would argue wholeheartedly that it's no legend at all. This place is a series of tunnels where a group of satanists are said to have met in the past. Their paths converged at some form of altar room and here they performed satanic rituals which included dark mass, animal and human sacrifice, and conjuring. Apparently they were pretty successful because legend has it the group opened the door to hell and summoned Satan himself.

Franklin Castle, Cleveland, Ohio: A German man named Hans Tiedemann who became very rich from a barrel making business, built the house in the mid-1800s. Tiedemann was said to have a very bad temper and that extends to the ghost stories that surround the place. Over the years a pile of baby skeletons was found and it was apparently due to an inept doctor. They can be heard crying in the walls. As well, a group of Nazis were machine gunned there during a political dispute and their conversations can be heard through out the house. As well, perhaps the most famous ghost is Tiedemann's illegitimate daughter Karen who he supposedly hung in a secret passageway from the ballroom. There are several more stories of hauntings at Franklin Castle, these are but a few.

Humberstone and LaNoria, Chile: These two towns were founded in 1872 as saltpeter mines and business was-a-bustling. Although, life in the town was apparently borderline slavery and it all came to the an in 1958 when the business went under. Now, it's said that the dead of the town rise from the cemetery at night and walk about the town. People from nearby villages won't even enter the places because ghost are considered that prevalent. As well, whether or not the dead rise at night, the cemetery is riddles with open graves where bodies are exposed so who to say what's true, right?

Chateau de Brissac, Maine-et-Loire, France: The structure was built in the 11th century and was a castle until the 15th. At that time, it became a chateau, and Jacques de Breze inherited it because his father the was the King's (Charles VII) chief minister. Soon after Jacques married King Charles' daughter Charlotte, but their bond was not a happy one. Apparently, Jacques one day found Charlotte in the arms of one of her huntsmen and it's said that the two received over 100 blows from his sword. Now, her dying moans can be heard around the chateau and those who've seen her have described "the lady in green" as women in a dress with a ghoulish face bearing holes where eyes and a nose should be.

London Underground, London, England: There are several ghost stories that surround London's underground train system, which is the oldest in the world. What's best known is the fact that 173 were crushed to death attempting to take shelter during an air raid in World War II. That's not even to mention how many people--since its opening in 1863--have died making the network, maintaining it, who have been murdered, and who have leapt in front of trains over the years. Basically, the place is super duper haunted.

Beechworth Asylum, Victoria, Australia.: Built in 1867 this asylum would hold 1200 patients when at capacity and over its 128 year run, over 3000 people died within its walls. The building is now a campus of La Trobe University and one particular apparition, Matron Sharpe, is commonly seen walking down stair cases and into classrooms. Although asylums are often associated with negative and heartbreaking stories, Matron Sharpe was apparently particularly compassionate to the patients back in the day which was very uncharacteristic of practices at the time.

Old Changi Hospital, Changi, Shanghai: Built in 1935 as a British RAF barracks and hospital until the Japanese attacked and captured in in 1942. From then on it was used as a prison for the British and their allies run by the Japanese secret police, the Kempeitel, similar to the German Gustapo. Their punishment and torture tactics were extremely brutal and may people were killed there. As well, when the war ended, several Japanese soldiers were executed there and even though it became a hospital shortly afterwards, gruesome scenes are still spotted. Common experiences include, screams, moans, shadow people, smells, bloody soldiers, and a boy staring into space that inflicts extreme sadness on anyone who see him.

The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado: The Stanley Hotel, the inspiration for "The Overlook Hotel" in Steven King's The Shining, has some interesting folklore surrounding it. It opened in 1909 and was a grandiose, luxurious place for the whole town. But in 1911, there was a massive explosion in room 217 that caused immense damage and actually sent the chambermaid in that room through the floor (although she survived). Elizabeth Wilson was her name and she worked there until her death. It's said that she can still be seen and heard in the room and (because she was very traditional) if unwed couples stay in the room, she'll get into bed and try to separate them. Freaky.

Aokigahara Forest, Mount Fuji, Japan: This forest has a historic association wityh demons and is the second most popular place in the world to commit suicide in the world (following the Golden Gate Bridge). There is a yearly sweep for bodies (conducted by volunteers) and the forest is notoriously quiet due to the wind-blocking density of trees. For these reasons hikers are largely cautioned and advised to mark their paths so as not to get lost.

Mary King's Close, Edinburgh, Scotland: This is one of the most enduringly haunted places in the world for records of hauntings go back as far as the 17th century. The Close is a series of underground tunnels that were a means of travel to businesses and homes in the 16th and 17th centuries. Once the plague erupted, the tunnels were abandoned but are apparently still populated by those who were victims of it. People often hear footsteps following close behind them, voices speaking all around, and see various ghostly figures, mainly a little girl named Annie.

The Skirrid Inn, Llanfihangel Crucorney, Wales: The Inn, which is the oldest public house in Wales, used to stand next to a courtroom where capital punishment was administered. There's an oak beam above the staircase where (apparently) 180 prisoners were hanged. There are other stories surrounding the Inn also, but since it has been open and running since 1110 (that's not a typo btw), it's had its fairshare of experience.

Eyam, Derbyshire, England: In 1665, plague erupted upon this village and by November 1st, 1666, every known resident (out of a population of 350) was no more. What's incredible though is the villagers made the decision to close themselves off from the outside world in hopes of preventing the plague's spread. People buried their own families in gardens and fields and many grave stones are still legible. Although regarded as beautiful and generally untouched, it's said that you can't help but shudder when walking through it because the reminders and the "feeling" of people are everywhere.

Rose Hall, Montego Bay, Jamaica: Built in 1780, this plantation was owned by John Palmer and his wife Annie who was said to be madly insane. Or, she was determined insane because in those days, that's what people who practiced voodoo were associated with. And she certainly practiced voodoo. When John discovered she was having an affair with one of the plantation slaves, he beat her unmercifully with a whip. That evening, John mysteriously passed away. People suspect that she either poisoned him or used voodoo but either way, her killing spree thereafter was unprecedented. Until one day, Annie was found strangled and workers then went about destroying her belongings. However, it's said her spirit is embedded in the house and she can be seen and heard throughout it constantly.
