Haunted Places

In Romania lies Bran Castle, which most people commonly know as Dracula's Castle. This location sits at the top of most-haunted lists everywhere, meaning not only does it hold a reputation for being one of the scariest places on Earth, but it also actually lives up to that reputation. And it's this reputation that attracts hunters of the paranormal. This castle holds a macabre history full of murder and fear as the home of Vlad Tepes. Also known as Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracula, he ruled from this Gothic castle that looked down on the village below.

The famous Coliseum in Rome is another popular place to search for ghosts, and it's easy to see why. Under the sands of the arena sit the vaults and cells that held warriors and prisoners alike, all of whom waiting to die. With an atmosphere that full of dread, fear, and sadness, it's no wonder that the veil that separates us from paranormal is so easily breached.

The Aokigahara Forest in Japan carries with it such a reputation of fear and dread, that it has become a must if you are looking for paranormal activity. Urban legends and stories of distressed spirits linger around this dark, mysterious forest. This site holds the rank as the third highest site for suicides. One particular year, 78 bodies were found in this forest, and with the high loss of human life and the dark secrets that envelop this forest, it has become a center of paranormal occurrences.

The Rockwood Cemetery is said to be the hands-down most haunted cemetery in the entire world. Located in Australia, this site has come to be known simply as The Necropolis. Along with the famous Davenport Brothers, over one million people are buried beneath the land.

These international destinations mean you will need to get a passport, and sometimes a visa. Obtaining these documents well before your trip will ensure that you can visit these places without any delays. However, overnight US passport delivery is available for next-day passport retrieval. With the availability of 24 hour US passport processing and affordable travel packages online, you can start planning your ghost hunting excursion today.
