A stop on American territory is imperative for cold-blooded explorers looking to be surprised by haunted places. The island of dolls in Mexico is a good start. Legend has it that a man named Julian Santana decided to go live on this island after abandoning his family, and when he arrived, he found the body of a little girl drowned in the waters of the canal while clutching her doll. His obsession with collecting dolls began, and he started hanging them from the island's trees. To this day, this place still causes chills for all those who visit it. A bit further afield, in Canada, Banff Spring Hotel is a popular place for fans of paranormal activity. Indeed, it is one of the most haunted places in the world since several customers claim to have spoken and interacted with the ghost, named Sam Macauley. This one was a former bellboy, and after accompanying the guests to their room, he disappeared. But the story does not end there, as some confirm having seen a terrifying bride wandering the hotel corridors in her wedding dress. In the United States, we must remember the dungeon of the eastern state that made its reputation because of the harsh treatment attributed to prisoners. This prison is now abandoned but remains open. Travelers will be able to discover kitchens and isolation cells and surely experience some paranormal activities. Those who want to take a trip to Europe and visit some scary places can go to Ca'Dario in Italy. It is in the heart of Venice's Grand Canal that the city's most famous palace is located, not for its exceptional beauty, but above all for its macabre legend. This fifteenth-century building was under the orders of Giovanni Dario, a bourgeois who wanted to offer the palace as a gift to his daughter Marietta on her wedding day. However, since this story, a curse has struck the palace, and all the owners who followed were destined to be ruined or doomed to a violent death. This series of tragic misfortunes have made this place extremely famous. Further on, on the Irish side, is an old pavilion that the Hell Fire Club used in the early eighteenth century. This group practiced many satanic rituals, including black masses and animal sacrifices. The club disappeared after a mysterious fire and it is now said that the souls of some of the members are still wandering around the scene. On the Spanish side, the village of Ochate seems to be the crème de la crème of the most haunted places in the world. There is even a book and a report about the mysterious phenomena that occur there. Some claim to have observed UFOs, while others indicate strange events in the only tower of the church. There is also Moosham Castle in Austria that will appeal to those who want to shiver with fear. This fortress was highlighted in the Salzburg witch trials between 1675 and 1690. More than a hundred people lost their lives there because they were accused of witchcraft. Today, this place is almost intact, and chills are in the back of visitors who dare to venture there. In Asia, the Aokigahara Forest in Japan is commonly referred to as the suicide forest because it is said that more than half a thousand people have taken their own lives there. Tourists should expect to immerse themselves in a strange, silent atmosphere with a labyrinthine tree layout that can quickly disorient them. On the Indian side, visitors must go to the Rajasthan region to admire the imposing remains of Bhangarh Fort. According to legend, it was cursed by a magician whose goal was to cast a spell on the palace's inhabitants so that they would die and their spirits would be imprisoned in the palace without ever being able to reincarnate. Moreover, the houses built next to the fort do not have a roof since, according to the locals, the roofs collapse for no reason. It is a place that can arouse the interest of many people. On the Australian side, the Monte Cristo Homestead is a building that has experienced many terrifying events, such as suicides, tragic deaths, and disappearances. It is nowadays one of the places with the most paranormal activity in the world. The current owners claim that there are strange presences in the building.
