Horror stories always excite me. If you believe in supernatural elements and ghost than this is the perfect read for you. In this article we will discover some haunted places around the globe.
Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan, India
This place has the honour of being the most haunted place in India and if you know India, it is quite a big country with lots of stories and folklore! Usually you would not find a lot of crowd here, one reason being it is still not widely known and second, people like to keep away from places that are as hauntedly famous as Bhangarh is. Locals will tell you tales of people who went inside the fort in the night never to be seen thereafter. Scared already? Even Archaeological Survey of India has put up a board here telling tourists to keep away from the ruins between sunsets to sunrise. However, the fort is also an example of India’s rich heritage and brilliant architecture. There are four gates, numerous temples and a dilapidated market belonging to the glory years around 1573 when this fort was built.

Many of those movies that have a haunted asylum in the backdrop come alive as you negotiate the quiet and eerie corridors of the Beechworth Lunatic Asylum. Also, known as Mayday hills hospital this former psychiatric facility sits atop a hill outside Victoria in a chilling stillness. A few amongst the people who have visited this place claim to have seen the (dead) matron of this hospital appearing out of thin air and vanishing in a blink. If a door swings open on its own….. better run and don’t wait to hear that blood curdling scream which is apparently common here. But if all this is what you dig, then do not miss the ghost tour!

This grand Chateau definitely impresses those who set their eyes upon it. However ones you know a little bit more about its dark past that has trailed to its present, the castle might not look so damn impressive after all! This place is considered the home of spirits of Francoise de Foix, his wife Jean de Laval and her lover- King Francis I. Many claim to have seen a royal procession descending into the castle as it disappears right in front of the eyes. Of course to witness all this, you have to dare to stay around the castle in the night. We obviously support the “night stay” part.
