Either you are adamant that the paranormal exists, or you think there is a logical explanation for everything that seems inexplicable. It doesn’t matter which camp you belong to – IT’S SPOOKY SEASON and that’s why we’re now showing you 7 historically enchanted places from around the world:

This Gothic castle on the outskirts of Tullamore, Ireland, has a long history of renovations and changes of ownership. Today, volunteers take care of the maintenance of the property, which has already been the setting for numerous films such as “Becoming Jane”.

Charleville Castle has a reputation for being the most haunted castle in Europe. Among other things, visitors repeatedly report seeing the ghost of little Harriet. According to legend, the second daughter of the third Earl of Charleville died when she tried to slide down the banister.

The “Sanatorio de Gottardo” was built in 1905 near Quinto and was used as a hospital. During the First World War, wounded soldiers were treated here and from the 1920s to the early 1960s it was a clinic for tuberculosis patients. The building has been vacant since 1962 and falls into disrepair every year.

According to the stories, a doctor at the time was said to have conducted sadistic experiments on his patients and told a visitor on a forum for psychic how supernatural powers had turned his car sideways.

The Castle of Good Hope is located in Cape Town, South Africa and was completed in 1679. The castle, which looks very cheerful from the outside, also has its dark sides: a dungeon, a torture chamber and a gallows testify to this.

The castle’s employees and visitors must regularly hear voices and footsteps in the corridors and dungeon. Sometimes the clock goes in the tower, although it has not been used for a long time. One of the ghosts is said to be the castle’s former First Lady, Lady Anne Barnard. As a lady of the house, she still carries on with her duties when an important visitor comes by.

The Venetians call Poveglia not far from Venice “Island of Madness” or simply “Hell”. All the souls who died on the island should stay here – and there are quite a few. In the past, the victims of the plague were buried here, and later also the contagious. From the twenties also came the mentally ill.

The doctor at the Poveglia psychiatric hospital is said to have tortured his patients with painful experimental procedures – until he went insane and committed suicide. He is said to haunt visitors with his patients. In the meantime, it is officially forbidden to enter the island and it is being auctioned.

The former spa was converted into a hotel in the late 1970s – the new owner Peter Kruit was introduced to the house spirit when he first entered his hotel: he heard a loud rumble from below, causing him to flee. However, he has since come to terms with the ghost and the ghost even has a name – his name is Hermann.

But there are said to be more ghosts in the hotel, as the “Blick” claims to have discovered. Together with a medium and 20 horror fans, they went looking for ghosts in the hotel and came across names other than Hermann.

This three-story castle was home to several noble families in the Regensburg district of Bavaria for centuries. It is not known exactly when it was built. However, according to Wikipedia, it was most likely made between 1325 and 1350.

The legend of the “White Woman” is in Wolfsegg Castle – visitors and residents repeatedly told how they met her in the hallway and about light phenomena in the castle. The woman would be Klara von Helfenstein, the deceased wife of the former owner. Her husband allegedly killed her after he learned of her romance with another man. Historically, however, this has been refuted because: Klara outlived her husband for four years.

Akerhus Fortress is an important historical part of Oslo. During World War II, it was occupied by the Germans and later feared as a nationwide prison. Today it is used by the Norwegian government as a venue for events.

Because so many people have died here, it is not so surprising that the fort is haunted. For years, visitors have talked about supernatural experiences that cannot be explained with common sense. For example, about how an invisible force would have pushed her. Or about painful screams and the sound of the rattling chains holding the prisoners.
