Top 3 Most Haunted Places in the World

Sometimes whenever we look at an empty and abandoned place, we automatically feel Goosebumps all over our body. How much more if we take a look at the top three most haunted places in the world. From an insane asylum to a suicide forest, it couldn’t get any creepier than that. So let’s start the countdown…

1.       The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum, Australia

In my opinion abandoned insane asylums are the creepiest places ever. The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum was originally called Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum, it is located in Victoria, Australia. It served as a mental institution form 1867 until 1995. It was recorded that about 9,000 patients died in its 130 years in service. There are rumored ghost sightings and hauntings in that very place this very day.

2.    Aokigahara, Japan

Aokigahara can be found at the base of Mt. Fuji, and it is infamously known as the “Suicide Forest”. Numerous numbers of people have trekked into the forest to take their own lives in the middle of its dense trees and vines, the local police do annual sweeps to clear away the dead bodies. Signs could be found around the forest placed by the local police: “Your life is a precious gift to your parents” and “Please consult with the police before you decide to die.”

Many people claimed that the forest is haunted by the souls of those who have died there. According to one legend during the times of famine in ancient Japan, if the families couldn’t feed themselves, some would be abandoned in the forest where they died of starvation. Those ghosts are believed to haunt the forest today.

So, to make the story short, it is a very terrifyingly scary place.

3. The Manila Film Center, Philippines

So, this one doesn’t seem to look like the typical haunted place, but the story behind this place is depressing and terrifying. The Manila Film Center is reportedly haunted by the ghost of the workers who were killed during the construction accident. The accident buried workers in quick-drying cement, killing 26 construction workers and injuring 36 others but rumor has is that 168 died. Some believed that there are other bodies who were entombed in the structure and that the souls still haunts the Film Center.

There are thousands of haunted places all over the world and there are also countless stories on how it became haunted but in writing this blog entry I have only chosen those stories that are told the most and that may all the lost souls rest in peace.
