Some places give you chills just by looking at them. 

Others? You step inside, and suddenly, the air feels heavy, the temperature drops, and you just know something isn’t right.

If you love a good ghost story (and don’t mind a little scare), here are five of the most haunted places you can actually visit.

1. The Stanley Hotel, USA

Ever seen The Shining? 

This is the hotel that inspired Stephen King’s horror classic. 

Guests have reported hearing piano music in empty rooms, children laughing in the hallways (when no kids are checked in), and even seeing ghostly figures. 

If you’re brave enough, you can stay overnight and see if anything strange happens.

2. The Tower of London, England

This historic fortress has seen its fair share of beheadings, betrayals, and ghosts. 

People claim to have seen the spirit of Anne Boleyn (Henry VIII’s wife) wandering around, still carrying her own head. 

Others say they’ve heard screams and footsteps echoing through the halls when no one else was around.

3. Aokigahara Forest, Japan

Also known as the Suicide Forest, this eerie place at the base of Mount Fuji is as creepy as it gets. The dense trees block out almost all sound, creating a heavy silence. 

People have reported seeing shadowy figures, hearing whispers, and feeling an overwhelming sense of sadness.

Even those who don’t believe in ghosts say there’s something off about this place.

4. Poveglia Island, Italy

This small island near Venice has a terrifying past.

It was once a quarantine zone for people with the plague and later turned into a mental hospital. 

Thousands of people died here, and visitors claim to hear screams and whispers. 

The island is so haunted that the Italian government has banned people from visiting, though some still manage to sneak in.

5. Château de Brissac, France

This beautiful castle comes with a terrifying resident: The Green Lady. 

Legend says she was murdered here, and now her ghost roams the halls, wearing a green dress. 

Visitors claim to see her wandering the castle at night, her face twisted into a horrifying scream.
