Interested in seeing a ghost this year in some of the world’s most terrifying locations? Do you want to see a monster or mythical creature? We have a haunted bucket list for you!
Iceland, Gunnuhver
Iceland’s largest geothermal mud pool has a gruesome past that qualifies it for our list of the scariest places. The pool is named after Gunna, a woman who lived nearby nearly 400 years ago. She died of starvation but reappeared as a spirit to murder her landlord and his wife. Gunna is said to be seen wandering through the pools, never resting.
Banff, Canada’s Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
The picture-postcard view of Banff is from this opulent hotel on the shores of Lake Banff. Aside from spectacular views, the hotel is home to an impressive collection of hauntings. For example, there’s the ghost bride who allegedly fell down the stairs to her death. But we like “Sam,” the bellman, who appears to have a sense of humour and assists unsuspecting people with their bags.
Singapore’s Haw Par Villa
According to the website, Haw Par Villa is “the world’s first museum exploring perspectives on death and the afterlife from some of the world’s major religions and philosophies.” The walkways are lined with gruesome dioramas and sculptures. Many people believe that Haw Par Villa is one of the most instagrammable spots in Singapore.
Paris Catacombs in France
Paris has a plethora of haunted attractions, but the Catacombs may be its crown jewel. More than 6 million people are buried in the underground tunnels. You enter at your own risk!
Bhangarh Fort is located near Delhi, India
Who doesn’t appreciate a cool, old ruined ghost town? No way in the American West. Would you believe this ghost town is located approximately 100 miles outside of Delhi? The town was founded in the 16th century during the reign of Bhagwant Das as the residence of his second son, Madho Singh.
Scotland’s Loch Ness
The Loch Ness Monster legend has become quaint in recent years. Nessie, a sea monster who lives in a deep lake? Okay. But we’re still enthralled by this charming piece of Scottish folklore. But, with sightings dating back to the sixth century, who are we to pass judgment? We’re holding out hope that Nessie exists.
