I’ve made a list of the strangest and creepiest websites for people who are interested in ghosts, the paranormal, and history.
I felt compelled to inform you about these unusual and dangerous places since I’ve been to two. As some of you know, I love history and storytelling. I want to see as many sites as possible after studying their histories.

I’ve collected a list of the creepiest and most unusual sites for individuals interested in the supernatural, history, and hauntings.

Borgvattnet Vicarage (Borgvattnet spökprästgård in Swedish)
The simple residence for holy men, built in 1876, began experiencing hauntings in 1927 when the local vicar reported weird incidents like his laundry being pulled off the line. In the following decades, practically every vicar or their family or guests reported paranormal events.
Screams, shadow people, and the old rocking chair kept moving. The frightening narrative began with abused servants and babies buried in the backyard, but now the old vicars haunt the house.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium
The two-story Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky, hospital opened in 1910 to treat 40–50 tuberculosis patients.
Now open for day and night tours, Jefferson County was devastated by TB (the “White Plague”) in the early 1900s. When the disease was worst, 63,000 victims perished there.



Missouri State Penitentiary, US

Officially opened in 1836 and closed in 2004, has a notorious history as the holding prison for Missouri’s death row inmates.
Now – once you’ve signed a waiver in case you injure yourself while in the derelict…


Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
In the early days known as Weston State Hospital, this asylum was home to thousands of people with mental illness, starting in 1864. Hundreds of people died here before the facility closed in 1994.



Hashima Island, Japan
Also known as Battleship Island (because of its shape), a haunting place once populated by more than 5,000 people. Functioned from 1887 to 1974. It remained closed for 35 years, homes with dusty televisions and telephones still in place.



Island of the Dolls – Xochimilco, Mexico
This island is claimed to be haunted by a girl who drowned many years ago. Julian Santan Barrera found a drowning child in the 1950s.
Julian then observed a floating doll near the canals. He put the doll on a tree to honour the girl’s spirit. Julian hung more dolls to appease the girl’s ghost. Julian drowned in the same area as the girl after 50 years of hanging dolls on the island.

Monte Cristo Homestead – New South Wales, Australia
Since 1885, it has seen many tragedies. The Crawley family lived there from its creation until 1948. The family witnessed many deaths, including a youngster who fell down the stairs. A family maid fell from the balcony, and a stable lad burned to death on the premises.

Mary King’s Close – Edinburgh, Scotland (BEEN)
After the plague struck in 1645, Edinburgh’s tradesmen abandoned the close. Infected people quarantined. i.e., 2 miles from me.

Old Changi Hospital – Changi, Singapore
Built-in 1935 for Changi military facility. The Japanese Kempeitai utilized the facility as a prison and torture camp. From 1945 to 1997, the structure was a hospital.

kolmanskop Namibia (BEEN)
After desert diamonds were found in the early 1900s, Kolmanskop was abandoned 40 years later. Hundreds of German families moved there to try their luck.
After two visits, this location still gives me goosebumps as I remember family members and return homes, bars, and hospitals with sand and abandoned furniture. After two visits, the left-over table and how the sand made it home were strange.
