The most mysterious and terrifying, but it is a very popular tourist objects

A list of the most ominous sights made recently, the British historian Robert greenwell.

Cemetery Woonsocket

Cemetery Precious Blood Cemetery in Woonsocket, Rhode island (USA). In 1955 tropical storm Diana broke a nearby dam, causing a powerful stream of water rushed on the town including the cemetery. More than 50 coffins were washed out of their graves and when the waters subsided, on the streets here and there began to find open coffins with the remains of the bodies of the dead. Currently, this place is famous for its ghosts, strange flying spheres and frightening sounds.

Island of the dolls

A few years ago has become a very popular little overgrown island in Xochimilco, which is one of the area of Mexico city (Mexico). More than 50 years ago, then found a girl who drowned under mysterious and suspicious circumstances. The girl was found by a local inhabitant don Julian Santana Barrera. Later he found a doll floating in the water, which he assumed belonged to the deceased.

In order to appease the spirit of the dead girl, Barrera hung the doll on one of the trees. In subsequent years he settled on the island and hung in the trees more and more dolls. And then he went on to say that if these dolls were possessed by the spirit of the dead girl.

In 2001, Barrera was found drowned in the same place where the drowned girl. Since then, the island became notorious, attracting tourists who bring their dolls to hang in the trees. Those who have visited the island, saying that they had heard the dolls talk to each other, and even saw their heads turned by themselves.

Paris catacombs

The catacombs of Paris are a maze of underground tunnels in which from the tenth century limestone was mined. According to legend it contains the bones of over 6 million dead people and the catacombs became essentially an underground cemetery, when the old local cemeteries were already overcrowded. First, here were buried the dead from bubonic plague in the 15th century, then of the victims of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, then in General everyone. Currently in the catacombs access is severely restricted. For fun and are open only to small areas. However even there many tourists have seen ghostly silhouettes, voices, strange temperature spikes and other anomalous phenomena.

Slater Mill, Rhode Island

Built in 1793 the complex Slater mill (Slater Mill) in Rhode island became the first American textile mill, powered by water mills. In the first years of operation for cleaning and inspection of hard to reach places has attracted young children who are often injured or even killed on the job. Now here is a Museum of local industry, but visitors frequently report that they hear children's screams, full of pain and agony.

On site there are other buildings there, too, and I often see ghosts, including the Ghost of a man and woman. Sometimes I see the Ghost girl, who was given the name "Ghost Becky" and she even like to answer the Committee's questions.

Highgate cemetery, London

Highgate cemetery is included in the historic "Magnificent seven" cemeteries of Victorian London. 17 acres of land are tens of thousands of graves. The cemetery was opened in 1839 and operated until the Second world War, after which there is almost no one is buried. But in the 1960s there was a legend about a Highgate vampire, which the reporters quickly made the most popular urban legend around. Was about this tall figure in a gray cloak, which regularly roams the cemetery.

Then they began to talk about other ghosts. In 1980 a group of volunteers began to restore the cemetery, and observation of paranormal phantoms have become much rarer. However, many visitors and our years that you saw including the Ghost of "Crazy old women", who are frantically looking for their children, whom she allegedly killed herself.

Abandoned Ohio state reformatory

Mansfield prison (Ohio State Reformatory) was built in the early twentieth century as a reformatory for young offenders are male. In 1990, the prison closed, and for a hundred years, then died and was killed a total of about 200 people. In the premises of this prison were shot including films "the Shawshank redemption" and the TV series "castle Rock".

The most well-known local Ghost is the spirit of Helen, the wife of the warden, who in the 1950-ies committed suicide, shooting himself with a pistol. Also, the prisoners from time to time to inform you that invisible pushes them in the back. Sometimes the guards see a figure of a young boy running to the cellar door, but never one in the basement and in the basement find.

Plague island Powella

In 1922 on the island in the Venetian lagoon Powella built a clinic for the mentally ill, but in 1968, everything was abandoned. They say that it happened after one of the doctors was attacked by the ghosts of the patients in this building, was tortured to death by various experiments.

The ghosts forced the doctor to throw herself from the top of the local chapel. The island was used in the 18th century as a quarantine station for ships arriving in Venice. Hundreds, if not thousands died on this island from the plague and other diseases, and was buried there in mass graves. However, according to historians here are buried not less than 160 thousand people, as in the days of the Roman Empire were exiled here sick with the plague.

According to the researchers of anomalous phenomena, the island is swarming with evil ghosts and it is almost the worst place on Earth.

Opera house in Derby

Built in 1889, the Opera house Sterling Opera House in Derby, Connecticut, are no longer used. Now everything is abandoned and covered with dust and dirt, and random visitors to scare themselves closing and opening doors and just switch on by itself and switched off the light. Sometimes people see a Ghost who always sits in the same place in one of the lower rows of spectator seats.

Brissac Castle

The most famous Ghost of the French castle of Brissac in Angers, is the Ghost of "the Green ladies". Supposedly she was killed in the 15th century and since then, she regularly shows herself to the owners of the castle — Brissac family. Tell me what her name was Charlotte de Breze and she was caught red-handed by her husband Jacques, when we met with her lover. In a fit of anger, Jacques murdered them both. Since Charlotte is often walking through the rooms of the castle, dressed in her favorite green dress, but her face like a rotting corpse with no eyeballs.

Eastern prison Philly

In this very strict prison, every prisoner was kept in separate solitary confinement, and doors in the cells were so low that prisoners were bent almost double to enter and exit. The prison was active from 1829 to 1971 and its most famous prisoners was al Capone and Bank robber Willie "Willie" Sutton. Although in the last years before its closure, the prison was converted to a standard prison with the usual rules of keeping, the walls of its premises permanently absorbed negative energy from anger and rage contained in the extremely harsh conditions of criminals. The guides tell the tourists that sometimes they feel there is a strong flow of negative energy, and once someone even saw a fierce ghostly face on the wall of one of the cameras. Also the tourists themselves are misleading about what they heard terrible screams and moans.

The château de Fougères

Castle in the French commune of To since the 14th century known for its ghosts. For many years it stood empty, and when in our time he moved the new owners, they began to hear ghostly voices, ordering them to leave. Then the family members have seen a variety of ghosts, including standing at the Windows. One of the ghosts is supposedly a girl named Alice, who died in 1924. A Ghost running around the room and singing funny songs for kids.

Another Ghost is called "Felix" and see him with the Ghost of his dog, which he walks or plays. Here quite often visited by the team of "Ghostbusters" and they even seemed to be able to film a Ghost "Felix".

The Hotel Lizzie

The hotel under the name "Lizzie Borden" in the city of fall river, Massachusetts was built in the late 19th century. Now this historic building and city Museum. Hotel built Andrew Borden and named it in honor of his daughter Lizzie. Then his wife and mother Lizzie died and soon after the construction of the hotel, he married another woman named Abby. In 1892, Andrew and his wife were found murdered and the main suspect was called Lizzie, but the jury acquitted her. Since this building regularly see the ghosts of men and women. They say that this is Andrew and Abby and they seem to still expect a fair punishment for the killer.

Old Fort Niagara

Originally built by the French at the mouth of the Niagara river in the 18th century, Old Fort Niagara was later captured by the British and later the Americans. One day two French officers stationed in the fortress, competed for the attention of one beautiful Indian. During the party both were very drunk and had challenged each other to a duel, where one killed the other. Realizing that he will be executed for murder, the winner cut off the dead man's head, to make it look like an Indian attack, and then threw the head in a prominent place, and the headless body dropped into the well.

According to legend, a few weeks later from a well heard terrible groans, and then came the Ghost of a headless officer. The next day the well was searched and a headless body was found. The killer figured out, tried, and hanged for the crime. They say that the headless figure now rises from the well every full moon at midnight to find his head.

Mont-Saint-Michel

Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel on the Northwest coast of France was the site of a bloody battle between the French garrison and the British army in 1434. Since then, the Ghost of the French commander Louis d Escamilla guards the island to this day. For many years, the Mont-Saint-Michel saw several sieges and battles, but it was also used as a prison for French monarchs, gaining the nickname "Sea Bastille". Also here, the dark damp basement they kept political opponents. Later there were opponents of the French revolution. So it is not surprising that from time to time then I see the ghostly shadows and ethereal silhouettes.

Impasse Mary King

The most haunted place in Edinburgh, Scotland, is of course the Impasse Mary king. Mary king was landlady in one of the poorest areas of the city, which in the 17th century as many locals died from the plague. In subsequent decades, part of this street was walled up to house infected no one entered, and few people were interested in this grim place. But in 2003, when working there found the remains of the dead from the plague and this place was repaired. Then one of the tourists took a picture of this place and photographed it the Ghost of a woman in a white dress. It was then that the deadlock Mary king and got its main name here and pushed the crowds of tourists. Now there is also a Museum.

Hotel Banff Springs

Canadian Hotel Banff springs was opened in 1920-ies. One of the most famous ghostly residents of this property is "Bride". In the 1920-ies of the bride allegedly tripped on a wide beautiful staircase of the hotel, stepping on the edge of her dress. She fell and rasshiblas to death. Since then, she began to see on the stairs or in a ballroom. where she stands on the sidelines and waits, when her will invite to dance.

The Saint Augustine Lighthouse

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States, and most paranormal place in it is a lighthouse. It was built in 1824. One of his guardians, Mr. Andrew, fell from the tower and hurt himself to death. Another Keeper, Peter Rasmussen, was a great lover of cigars and visitors of the hotel are still sometimes feel inside the lighthouse the smell of cigars. In the late 19th century Hezekiah Petey was hired to repair the lighthouse. He brought with him his family, including two young daughters. One day the girls went for a walk and disappeared. Their bodies were found later on the beach, young girls drowned. According to some guests, the laughter of two little girls, it is still possible from time to time to hear the beacon.
