5. Sedlec Ossuary
Sedlec Ossuary a.k.a Church of Bones in the Czech Republic. Inspired by Our Lady of the Conception. It contains skeletons of over 50,000 people, their bones decorate the chapel. The bone chilling chandeliers (made from every bone in the human body), skull lined arches and pyramids are made from 40,000-70,000 skeletons. A half blind monk stacked the bones into pyramids in 1511, but woodcarver Frantisek Rint was commissioned by the Schwarzenberg family to redesign the bones 1870. Rint also designed the Schwarzenberg coat of arms near the entrance. Who wouldn't want to see a church decorated with bones? Well it’s the hottest tourist destination in Czech Republic with over 200,000 tourists a year!4. Stanley Hotel
Stanley Hotel located at Estes Park, Colorado USA. This one the inspiration for Stephen King’s The Shining. King did not write the novel there, nor was the 1980 Stanley Kubrick movie filmed there, but the TV movie version of The Shining was used as the location. Today, the elegant hotel is a popular resort and destination for ghost hunters; a ghost tour is even offered to visitors. They offer ghost tours too. According to the staff of the hotel room 417 is the most haunted because it’s haunted by children playing. A couple once complained about noisy children when no kids were staying at the hotel.
3. Tower of London
Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. Well of course this is going to be haunted due the number of people beheaded and tortured there. Anne Boleyn’s spirit is the most famous to haunt the halls. The ghost of Anne Boleyn, beheaded in 1536 for treason against Henry VIII, allegedly haunts the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, where she is buried, and has been said to walk around the White Tower carrying her head under her arm. Other ghosts include Henry VI, Lady Jane Grey, Margaret Pole, and the Princes in the Tower.
2. Parisian Catacombs
After the French Revolution there were so many deaths and there was just no place to put them all so recently they built a tunnel of mazes underneath the streets of Paris and of course the walls are lined with bones and skeletons of the dead. The ossuary is but a small part of the city’s vast network of subterranean tunnels and caverns, created during the 18th century to house much older human remains from Paris’ overflowing cemeteries. It became a macabre tourist attraction on a small scale from the early 19th century, and was open to the public on a regular basis from 1867. It’s hard to imagine that every bone in this chillingly clinical pile belonged to a living human being. Who were they? What did they look like?
1. Highgate Cemetery
Highgate Cemetery located at North London, England. With around 167,000 people buried there including Karl Marx, Douglas Adams and parents of Charles Dickens. From the floating ghost of a nun to a ghoul with glowing red eyes there’s no shortage of paranormal activity in this cemetery.
- The most famous spook in this cemetery is The Highgate Vampire, who is not really a vampire in the classic sense, but a phantom that is described as a 7-foot-tall, dark male figure with piercing, hypnotic eyes and wearing a long black coat and high top hat; he seems to vanish into thin air. There have been several dozen sightings and encounters since the late 1960s.
- A man whose car broke down near the cemetery came face to face with a ghoul with glowimg red eyes that peered at him through the graveyard's iron gates.
- The apparition of a crazy old lady has been seen dashing around the headstones, her light black hair searching behind her as she looks for her kids, whom she purportedly killed.
- A dull covered figure has been see standing stock still and gazing into space. When it is approached, it vanishes then returns a short separation away, as of now gazing into the void.
- A businessperson was startled by an apparition that hopped over the wall and arrived directly before him. He depicted it as having pointed ears, gleaming eyes, and extensive nose. This may have been the scandalous Spring-Heeled Jack.
- The floating ghost of a nun has been seen passing over the graves.
