Someone please buy me a plane ticket for these places ASAP.

He lived on-site with his wife Mary and his children, Mary Adelaide, Eliza, Edward, and Carrie. As little kids do, the Pittee children started playing on the construction site along with the children of the workers. In 1873, the three Pittee children and one unknown girl, whose father worked on the site, were riding on a cart that moved down the water and was brought back up to ride again (a wooden board at the end of the rail would stop the cart from tipping over into the water).

If this wasn't eerie enough, in 1970 the keepers' house, which had been empty for many years, burned down under mysterious circumstances. During the renovation of the house, construction workers reported numerous unexplained incidents in the home—especially the basement, which was the only part of the home that was not completely burned (coincidence, much?).

There have been many more such instances, one of them involving a female guest who was touring the lighthouse. She was standing on the first step of the metal staircase, and when she took her first step to climb up, she found her shoelace tied to the staircase. (If that were me, I would have not found that prank funny AT ALL.)

These events are proof enough that this lighthouse is, for sure, a hotbed for paranormal activities, and the three spirits of the girls must still linger there. 

And after the plague subsided, it transformed into the site of a psychiatric hospital in the 20th century. 

So far, locals say that there have been over 160,000 deaths on the islands, and fishermen stay away from the shores, as many believe the island to be cursed, as the soil is mixed with human ashes and those buried there. 

While many of these ghost stories might be legends of the islands, we cannot dismiss the fact that there have been horrific and grim deaths on the island, and it just adds to the haunting history of this place. 

Many have also claimed to see a female figure on the upper floors of the cellblocks, speculating that it might be Ellen Thompson, the only woman to be executed in Queensland. Another ghost that people encounter at this prison is that of a former staff member, the matron of the Women's Prison or a female warden.  

I mean, when you have a site that has seen so many deaths and unrest, it is definitely bound to be a hotbed for paranormal activities, and I am thoroughly intrigued and spooked by this place. 

He then realized that the dolls themselves were possessed by the spirit of the girl, but he never stopped hanging more dolls over the entire island. 

Some say that he was driven by some form of "unseen force" that changed him completely. Some say that he could not shake off the guilt of not being able to save the girl's life and hence collected dolls for over 50 years on the island. Others state that he was not of 'sound mind' and simply fabricated the entire story. 

But it gets creepier—after all those years of collecting the dolls, Julian was found dead in the same spot where the girl had died. 

Many of the visitors have reported feelings of nausea, heightened anxiety, the sensation of being watched, and unexplained failure of electronic devices. Add to this the legends of people who went missing, and we have the perfect hotbed of paranormal activity and superstitions that attract people from all over the world. 

Of course, we have speculators who say that the magnetic activity of the region may contribute to this eerie feeling of the forest; however, nothing can be said for sure about just how creepy and haunted this forest can be. 

Due to this, people could not leave the theater in time and died in the fire. After the theater was replaced by the Oriental Theater in 1926 (which was later restored in 1998 and renamed the Nederlander Theatre in 2019), many stars and big shows have graced the theater, and they have reported seeing some paranormal activity in the theater and in the back alley. 

The back alley is also referred to as the "Death Alley" from the Iroquois Fire, as after the fire, the 600 bodies were stacked in this narrow lane behind the theater waiting to be taken to the morgue. 

Nearby buildings are also said to have witnessed ghosts from the Iroquois fire. This tragic event has led to this theater being named one of the most haunted places in the US. 

She was wearing a flowing white gown with thick dark hair, and as he watched her go up, she stopped and turned to look at him with glowing red eyes. She then disappeared amongst the stone columns. The man assembled a team to try and find her, but to their disappointment and horror, they could never find her again.

Ever since this sighting, many more have spotted this maiden ghost who haunts this ancient sight. She is called 'The Stone Lady' in the Mayan language, which is what the site is also named after: Xunantunich.

Some believe that she must have lived in the city many years ago, and others believe that she must have been a human sacrifice, reliving her last moments of ascending to the top of the pyramid where her death ritual would have been conducted. No one has been able to reveal the identity of the Stone Lady.

The Eltz family was expecting the knight to return and attack the castle, but nothing seemed to happen in the months that followed. So the men of the family went on a three-day hunting trip, and that very night, knights under the command of Braunsberg stormed the castle, killing the guardsmen. 

Agnes could not watch her home being attacked, and so she wore her brother's armor and came face to face with Knight Braunsberg. Braunsberg fought back, not knowing it was Agnes, and struck her in the chest, and she collapsed and died. Once he found out it was Agnes, he fled the castle and was not seen again. 

In 1936, priest Otto Lindgren also reported hearing footsteps and doors opening in the yard, even though he was there alone. It seemed as though each year the hauntings got more frightening. 

The public heard about these hauntings in 1947 when a journalist contacted the priest Erik Lindgren to learn about his experiences. In this interview, he talked about how he heard sounds that sounded like someone was dragging heavy objects across the floor, even though there was no furniture in the house. He also heard stomping on the bridge outside the yard and felt as though he was being watched and felt someone sitting next to him. 

Locals also talk about Bu Daria, a nautical spirit whose hands were sliced off, and the dreaded Noon Donkey, who was said to have devoured naughty children who played in the midday sun.

We are not sure where exactly these folklores originated from, but one thing is for sure: the abandoned buildings and the stories make this town look like it is straight out of an M. Night Shyamalan film.

In order to prevent such deaths, the authorities have installed signs at the forest entrances to urge people to seek help. 

Visitors still visit the forest as being drawn to its mystery and year-long history.

To add to this, Sarah's interest in spiritualism and séances just fueled people's belief that the house witnessed paranormal activity. These points played a major role in how the reputation of this house was perceived. 

Sure, the house is extremely weird and even creepy with stairways leading to nowhere and maze-like passages, and the fact that Sarah did séances also makes it a bit eerie, but none of this confirms that the house is actually haunted. But if you want to find out, the house has ghost tours!

A servant woke Jacques up and informed him about Charlotte having an affair with a man called Pierre de Lavergne. In a fit of rage, Jacques murdered the two lovers and moved out of the castle shortly after.

It is said that only the ghost of Charlotte remains in the Château de Brissac. She haunts the tower room of the chapel, where she can be found in her green dress. It is also said that the ghost's face has holes in place of her nose and eyes and that her moans can be heard in the early hours of the morning. 

In 1836, Captain Frederick Marryat, a friend of the novelist Charles Dickens, had witnessed the ghost as well. Marryat had requested to spend the night in the most haunted room to prove that the haunting was caused by local smugglers. He stated he saw the ghost appear nearer and nearer to him, so much so that he could see the style of her dress. 

In 1926, Lady Townshend reported that her son and his friend claimed to have seen the ghost on the staircase, identifying the ghostly figure with the portrait of Lady Dorothy Walpole, which hung in the haunted room. 

Since the haunting had started, Betsy had fallen sick, and her demise was something that the entity took credit for. The scariest part of this story is that the ghost did not just terrorize a teenage girl but that many people had come across the voice of the Bell Witch and witnessed the strange events of the haunting. 

The Bell Witch Cave and its history remain the scariest story in Tennessee.
