Good afternoon Phoenix – hope you are all enjoying your
weekend!
How about getting a little in the mood for our next upcoming
holiday – Halloween?
Here’s a list of the 5 most haunted places on earth – Read
on if you dare!
5. Diplomat Hotel, Philippines: This abandoned hotel sits
atop a hill overlooking Baguio City. Originally a seminary built by Dominican
priests in 1915, the building was bombed and taken over by invading Japanese
soldiers during World War II. It was later converted to a hotel, where guests
would report seeing ghosts of the nuns and priests beheaded by Japanese
soldiers.
4: Ruins of Bhangarh, India: The city is between Jaipur and
Delhi, and has been abandoned for nearly 400 years. At the city’s prime, a
local magician created a love potion to win the heart of the beautiful
princess, Ratnavati, but he was crushed by a boulder when his potion backfired.
This led him to curse the city and its people with his dying breath. The ruins
of the city remain largely untouched due to their reputation for being haunted.
The government has installed signs forbidding people to stay in the area after
sunset.
3. Sedlec Ossuary, Czech Republic:: Also known as the Church
of Bones, it is a Roman Catholic chapel estimated to contain the bones of
40,000 – 70,000 people – many of which are used to decorate the building’s
interior. Built atop a medieval cemetery, mass graves were unearthed during the
chapel’s construction. The builders began to stack the bones within the Chapel.
Today it contains large mounds of bones, along with an enormous chandelier that
contains at least one of every bone in the human body.
2. Gettysburg, United States: The Battlefield was the site
of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. Nearly 8,000
soldiers were killed between July 1 and July 3, 1863. The sounds of gun and
cannon fire are still heard around the battlefield, and numerous ghost
sightings have been reported. Including the ghost of Jennie Wade, who became
the only civilian casualty of the battle when a musket ball smashed through her
home, and the ghosts of soldiers that still wander the battlefield.
1. Tower of London, United Kingdom: Established by William
the Conqueror in 1066, the Tower was a fortification “against the restlessness
of the huge and brutal populace” of London. Used as a prison between 1100 and
1952, the central White Tower of the castle became a symbol of oppression and
it developed a cruel and bloody history of murder, torture, and execution. Many
of the ghosts said to haunt the Tower are those of famous political prisoners
such as Sir Walter Raleigh, an English explorer executed to appease the
Spanish, and Anne Boleyn, the former Queen of England and wife of King Henry
VIII, who was beheaded in 1536.
Have a fangtastic day my friends!
