Raynham Hall

Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England, is most famous for the ghost of "the Brown lady," which was captured on film in 1936 in what is considered one of the most authentic ghost pictures ever taken.
The Unexplained Site describes one of the first encounters with the spirit: "The first known sighting happened during the 1835 Christmas season. Colonel Loftus, who happened to be visiting for the holidays, was walking to his room late one night when he saw a strange figure ahead of him. As he tried to gain a better look, the figure promptly disappeared. The next week, the Colonel was again came upon the woman. He described her as a noble woman who wore a brown satin dress. Her face seemed to glow, which highlighted her empty eye sockets."

General Wayne Inn

Brief history: Numerous ghosts have been experienced and apparitions seen in this inn that had been in continuous operation since 1704. Originally called The Wayside Inn, it was renamed in 1797 after the Revolutionary War, and it has been visited by such notables of the time as George Washington and LaFayette. Many other famous guest have stayed there, including Edgar Allen Poe, who wrote part of his famous poem The Raven there. In 1996 owner Guy Sileo murdered co-owner James Webb on the third floor of the building on the day after Christmas in a dispute over finances. But it might have been Silio's mistress, Felicia, who killed Webb because he disapproved of the affair. Felicia later committed suicide.
Unfortunately, the inn closed around 2004 and and since been converted into the Chabad Center for Jewish Life, although "General Wayne Inn" is still displayed on the building's side.
Ghosts: The haunting activity reported in this building has been substantial over the years:

• Women seated in a row at the bar would, in succession, feel someone blow on the backs of their necks.
• The ghost of a German Hessian soldier was seen by a staff member standing on the steps leading upstairs before fading away. She reported that he seemed just as startled to see her as she was to see him.
• Another Hessian soldier has been seen in the basement, said to be searching for his uniform, of which he had been stripped.
• The crying of a little boy ghost has been heard.
• Ghosts of an unknown Native American and African American men have been spotted.
• Psychic Mike Benio claimed that he made contact with a Hessian soldier named Ludwig, who made several appearances to Benio and said he had been killed during the Revolutionary War.
• In 1986, an owner named Johnson and a friend were seated in the dining room when they saw a woman in period dress rush past them.
• Kitchen appliances and towels have been thrown about; doors that were securely locked at night were found unlocked in the morning.
• A luncheon hostess at the inn claimed to have seen soldiers in several places: the dining room, the bar, in the upstairs and in the private dining rooms.

Now that the building is no longer an inn, we wonder if the new owners will experience the same haunting activity.

The Queen Mary

This grand old ship is quite haunted, according to the many people who have worked on and visited the craft. Once a celebrated luxury ocean liner, when it ended its sailing days The Queen Mary
 was purchased by the city of Long Beach, California in 1967 and transformed into a hotel.
The most haunted area of the ship is the engine room where a 17-year-old sailor was crushed to death trying to escape a fire. Knocking and banging on the pipes around the door has been heard and recorded by numerous people. In what is now the front desk area of the hotel, visitors have seen the ghost of a "lady in white."
Ghosts of children are said to haunt the ship's pool. The spirit of a young girl, who allegedly broke her neck in an accident at the pool, has been heard asking for her mother or her doll. In the hallway of the pool's changing rooms is an area of unexplained activity. Furniture moves about by itself, people feel the touch of unseen hands and unknown spirits appear. In the front hull of the ship, a specter can sometimes be heard screaming - the pained voice, some believe, of a sailor who was killed when the Queen Mary collided with a smaller ship.

Berry Pomeroy Castle, Totnes

Although it is associated with plenty of hair-raising stories, this centuries-old castle is most famous for being home to two well-renowned female spirits: the Blue Lady and the White Lady. The Blue Lady is said to be free-roaming and haunts throughout the entire castle. With her mysterious and somewhat spellbinding presence, she lures individuals into sections of the ruin. Needless to say, if you see her, don’t follow!
The White Lady, on the other hand, is supposedly Margaret Pomeroy’s spirit. She was held captive by her envious sister and was left to die of starvation in the dungeons of the castle, where her presence lingers to this day.

Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, Oswiecim, Poland

Even without the misty apparitions, unseen but chilling presences, and other unexplainable phenomenon, this spot still packs a wallop of horror, terror, and fright. In the five years of its operations, from 1940 to 1945, the concentration camp has seen over 2 million deaths, a number which most historians consider to be a minimum, owing to the fact that no one can really be sure of the total body count during that most unfortunate time.
Anyone who has set foot in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp will most likely report a feeling of overwhelming foreboding and melancholy, and given the history of the place, it isn’t so surprising when a visitor suddenly gives in to heart-wrenching sobs and leaves the tour group in a torrent of tears.
There are a number of places on earth that will have your insides quaking with fear, no matter how brave you think you are. Yet, few can compare to the ten most haunted places in the world on this list.

Monte Cristo, New South Wales, Australia

When it comes to haunted mansions, few can compare to Australia’s Monte Cristo. Within the walls of this huge house, you’ll encounter unusual and ghostly voices, bodiless apparitions, floating ghosts, as well as phantom faces appearing out of nowhere. You should also gear yourself up for the sudden switching on and off of lights as you pass through the rooms.
What’s even scarier, if accounts are to be believed, is that you might even lose your breath and die if you step foot in the boys’ bedroom. No one really knows what’s behind the haunting, but the ghost of the owner, Mrs. Crawley, is said to be the eerie culprit.

Borley Rectory, UK

Borley Rectory, located in a tiny village near Sudbury, was constructed for the Reverend Henry Bull in the year 1863. Said to be England’s Most Haunted House, the Borley Rectory is situated on a site where a monastery used to stand. Stories have it that a nun’s ghost can be seen patrolling the “Nun’s Walk” while she mourns the awful death of her lover. She and her beloved, who was a Borley Monastery monk, attempted to elope, but they were tracked down and captured in no time. She was thrown into and imprisoned in the cellars of the monastic buildings, while the monk was put to death for their sins. Talk about tough love!
