Due to the overwhelming number of reports coming from the location, the TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) crew investigated and found several pieces of evidence, including a video of what appears to be a woman looking over the railing on the lighthouse staircase. They also captured shadow figures, and an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) of a woman crying out for help! Due to their success in capturing paranormal evidence, TAPS coined the location ‘the Mona Lisa of paranormal sites’.
7. Aokigahara Forest, Japan
Located at the base of Mount Fuji, this forest is a notorious site where people commit suicide. It stands second to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Due to its association with demons and the wind blocking density of trees, the forest has an eerie feel, and almost 100 lives are lost in it every year. Volunteers help searching for bodies as the government continues to make efforts to not share the statistics of deaths reported. Spirits remorseful about leaving the land of the living are said to haunt the forest. Visitors are advised to mark their trails with tape so as to not get lost.
8. Edinburgh Castle, Scotland
An iconic heritage city and tourist spot in the city, the castle is also home to a phantom piper, a headless drummer and a spectral dog. In 2001, the castle vaults and chambers were subjected to a rigorous 10-day scientific survey, using night-vision equipment, digital cameras, thermal imaging, and 240 carefully-screened volunteers. Nearly half of those who took part reported ghost sightings and spooky phenomena, including sudden drops in temperature and the sensation of unseen presences tugging at their clothes.
9. Castle of Good Hope, Cape Town, South Africa
Built in the 16th century by the Dutch East India Company for the purpose of replenishment of ships that were about to venture into the treacherous waters of the Cape, the castle has several stories of ghosts like a screaming woman, a tall gentleman and a black dog that pounces on unsuspecting visitors.
Even today, blood-curdling screams, strange voices and footsteps still terrify soldiers on guard during the late night shift at the Castle of Good Hope.
10. Monte Cristo Homestead, New South Wales, Australia
One of Australia’s most haunted places, this house was owned by the Crawley family that lived in it from 1855 to 1948. The family was witness to many deaths including that of a mentally ill man who was found chained in the caretaker’s cottage. Videos of paranormal activity in the house have been recorded several times.
11. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, Cambodia
This former high school was turned into Security Prison 21 under the Khmer Rouge and was used as a base in 1975 to imprison and torture prisoners. Prisoners were tricked into naming their families and associates who were imprisoned, tortured and eventually murdered. The ghosts of 17,000 victims are said to roam the halls of this museum and it’s not hard to see why.
12. The Tower of London, England
A historical icon and tourist hot spot, the Tower of London is also one of the most haunted places in the United Kingdom. That’s no wonder because this was the site where several figures in English history were beheaded for sedition and betrayal.
