The scariest ghosts in the world. The most legendary Russian ghosts

Ghost stories can cause an eerie feeling of fear in some, although this phenomenon has not yet been proven.

The list below is specific phenomena that have been witnessed by several people at different times, in the same place. The more witnesses, the more impressive these stories are. Believe in ghosts or not, these stories are mind-boggling.

10. Bringing Kate Morgan

Del Coronado is a stunning Victorian resort and beachfront hotel in the southern California town of Coronado, south of San Diego. This story was very popular four years ago.

It all started when a beautiful young woman named Kate Morgan checked into a hotel. 2 November 4, 1892. She appeared to have been very ill during her time at the hotel. It was later suggested that she took a large dose of quinine in order to induce the miscarriage of the unwanted child.

There was little argument that she was distraught. However, she was found on the territory, near the beach on November 29 with one bullet hole in her temple, and a pistol lying next to her. Death occurred instantly as a result of suicide.

From that moment on, strange phenomena were periodically recorded at the hotel: suspicious sounds, flickering and self-switching off lights, and sometimes even a ghostly woman in Victorian clothes wandered the halls.

It is worth noting that there is a constant confusion with room numbers in this hotel. Roofing felts this administration attracts its clients, thus, whether the ghost himself wants to attract attention - no one knows.

9. Ghosts in the hotel

Staff at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, USA report hearing classical music in the big ballroom, when there is absolutely no one there. You can also hear children laughing and playing in the halls when there are no children in the hotel at all.

Many guests report seeing ghostly figures in their rooms at night, just standing and staring at visitors.

Rumor has it that the ghost of the former owner of this land, named Dunraven, lives on the fourth floor of Stainley, who can be seen in the window of room 407. He is often accused of missing jewelry or valuables in this hotel.

8. House with a ghost

Rainham Hall in Norfolk, England is home to one of the most famous photos ghost once photographed. This photo was named Lady Brown because she appeared in a rich brown dress.

It is widely believed that Lady Dorothy Walpole, sister of Sir Robert Walpole, died at mysterious circumstances in 1726 and observations of her spirit began shortly after her death.

Although nowadays, reports of sightings have waned, and the photo was taken back in 1936.

Perhaps the most interesting observation came from Major Loftus, who stayed at Raynham Hall in 1849 for one night with a friend named Hawkins. Loftus noticed a woman in a brown dress who immediately disappeared as soon as the Major approached her.

Determined, he stayed the night, out of curiosity, and saw her again in the same place. Loftus was frightened, but looked into her face and saw only two black rosettes on the wall instead of eyes.

7. Casting the castle

With £ 2,750,000 to spare, you could be the proud owner of Clifton Hall in Nottinghamshire, England. The property distinguished itself as early as the 11th century, under the Clifton family.

From 1958 it became a school, then another school, then another school, and after that they built luxurious apartments before they became a private residence, in recent times belonging to Mr. Anwar Rashid, his wife and their four children.

The residence boasts 17 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 10 reception rooms, a plush gym and cinema. Well, and, of course, a few ghosts. The Rashid family experienced a disturbing phenomenon on their first night in the house in the form of knocking and male voices asking, "Hi, is there someone here?"

One time, Anwar's wife, Nabila went downstairs to prepare milk for their 18-month-old son at five o'clock in the morning and watched her eldest daughter sitting in front of the TV. When she called her daughter, she received no answer. Nabila had a strange feeling at that moment.

She returned upstairs to her daughter's room and it turned out that she was still sound asleep in her bed. Their family fled their home after being haunted for 8 months. Although the couple was the last in this house, however, even after that there were rumors about strange children appearing and screaming women who stood at the window of the walled up rooms.

6. Scary ghost

The Lady in White is undoubtedly the most common type of ghosts anywhere in the world, and spirits in the Philippines join the list. Some residents of the city of Manila, Philippines say that this is just a hoax, but we will assume that the story may be true.

It is those who believe who report the woman in white with long black hair and completely blank face that stands in blood in the middle of the road to Balete Drive. People say that night driving should be avoided in that place, but if you dare, make sure that there are passengers in your back seat.

Apparently, the White Lady wants a ride from those with empty back seats.

5. Evil ghosts

Legend has it that Chloe was a slave at the Myrtles Plantation home in St. Francisville, Louisiana. Chloe had a bad habit of eavesdropping on locals through keyholes.

Having seen such a scene once, the owner of the house cut off her ear as a punishment and forced Chloe to wear a green scarf on her head to cover the wound. To get revenge, she baked a cake with oleander leaves, which are very poisonous.

Although the owner of the house was, first of all, her target, her wife and two daughters, who died in agony a couple of days after eating the cake, were still the victims. Chloe ran away from home and was lynched by other plantation slaves.

Fortunately or not, there is no historical evidence to support this story. There is only an intriguing photo. True or not, there are many other ghosts in the area. Including the ghost of a young girl who scares people that dare to sleep in one of the rooms.

Myrtles Plantation is currently hosting regular tours.

4. Bringing by hitchhiker

Traveling northeast of Archer Lane, between Bolrum Willowbrook and Illinois Resurrection Cemetery, you can pick up a young woman who votes by hitchhiking on the side of the road. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, wears a white dress, and has been dead since the 1930s.

If you pick her up, she will ask you to stop in front of the Resurrection cemetery and disappear from the car. The girl is classic example"disappearing hitchhiker". These are the type of stories that have been around for at least several hundred years.

Moreover, all the storytellers in this case claim that the girl always looks the same and disappears in the same place. It is also worth noting that stories about this ghost began to spread suddenly in the mid-thirties of the last century.

3. The Ghost of the Flying Dutchman

It was 1641 when Captain Hendrik van der Decken vowed to circumnavigate the cape Good Hope, and is now in perpetual voyage.

The ghost ship known as the Flying Dutchman is often spotted around this cape. This ghost is always seen as a bad omen.

Such an incident was recorded by the future King of England George V in 1881: "At 4 o'clock in the morning the Flying Dutchman appeared. A strange red light shone from him, as if the brig's masts, spars and sails were on fire." Later that morning, the sailor who had originally spotted the ship crashed to death.

2. The ghost of Lincoln

Legend has it that Lincoln saw his fate before he was killed. He talked about a dream in his office, which he entered during some funeral in the White House, and when the president asked one of the accompanying persons, the man replied: "The president ... he was killed by an assassin."

Lincoln's ghost has been spotted by many guests and residents of the White House, including First Lady Grace Coolidge, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and even Winston Churchill.

Churchill claimed that he had just come out of the bath, nude. As he entered the bedroom, he saw Lincoln standing by the fireplace. The British Prime Minister jokingly said: " good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have caught me at a disadvantage, "after which Lincoln smiled softly and disappeared.

1. Real ghost

The second wife of Henry VIII and the mother of the future Queen Elizabeth I, Anne Boleyn, tired of her husband. Accused (most historians agree) of adultery, incest and witchcraft, she faced the executioner's sword with her head held high on May 19, 1536.

The executioner is said to have said, “Where is my sword?” In order to kill with one professional blow, relieving Anna's suffering.

Her ghost has been seen by several by different people v different places: Hever Castle, Blickling Hall, one of the churches, Marvell Hall, and possibly the most famous Tower of London. Although she most often manifests itself as in reality: a beautiful woman in a chic dress (some even upset that she has a whole head).

But she does not always appear headlong. Some people assure that they saw her pale ghost, holding its head under its armpit. She has become a real iconic image, often parodied in movies, on television, and as Halloween costumes.

The belief in ghosts and ghosts is so strong that some of them have received truly worldwide fame. Films are dedicated to them. Books are written about them. They are researched in every possible way and constantly re-publish material in print media... They would be representatives physical world, they could become millionaires in their glory, but so far those who use them manage to do it.

All over the world, in every country, there are many houses that have received the nickname "haunted house." And again in this competition he convincingly holds the palm old Europe... Particularly different from all foggy Albion, where almost every city has such a house. Let's start with England.

The most famous ghosts : Borly Rectori.

The world fame of this house, which is directly called that, began after the famous explorer and ghost hunter G. Price, already mentioned by me above, wrote a book about it "The Most Restless House in England". Then the whole world learned that there are places where evil spirits are as natural as the noise of foliage in the yard. In any case, this is what Price argued, who, by the way, has been repeatedly accused of manipulating and falsifying facts, which is normal for such things anyway.

The House of Parish Priests - Borley Rectory - was built in Borley, which is fifty miles south of London, in 1963 by the priest Henry Ball. Since England is not distinguished by special geographical expanses, it is not surprising that other buildings have stood on the site of the house for many centuries: a manor house and a Benedictine monastery. Perhaps it was the factor of layering of times that could play a major role. This was confirmed by the story of a certain nun from the monastery, who was immured alive in its walls and her ghost, allegedly, was repeatedly observed by local residents. G.Ball, who built the house, saw him.

Until 1928, two generations of residents of the house changed and they are all in different times noted strange phenomena associated not only with the nun, but also with strange flying fireballs.

When the new owners moved into the house, then all the fun began. In the house, there was such a clear and strong activity of inexplicable phenomena (knocks, door movements, creaks, steps, glow, etc.) that new family Priest Smith could not stand it and turned to the National Laboratory for Psychical Research Harry Price, who later spent a lot of time in the house, studying it. However, the phenomena did not stop and the family soon left their place of residence and the relatives of the priest Balla, who had built the house, moved into Borley Rectori. But even they could not live in this house for a long time, since the strange phenomena only worsened and they also moved out. Then Price rented the house and, with a team of assistants, began to study it, which later became public.

Price was allegedly able to make contact with the nun's ghost and recorded many other phenomena. However, the history of the house ended in 1939. When a new tenant lived in the house, there was an inexplicable fire. Oddly enough, the burned down house continued to amaze the locals and the whole of England, when even Price himself was long gone, as inexplicable phenomena in the vicinity continued. They say that you can still see the ghost of a nun in the alley not far from the house. Someone even managed to photograph him.

The most famous ghosts : Edinburgh castle.

Built in the 11th century, the castle has become a symbol of the typical haunted castles concept. Lovers of the paranormal claim that it is practically teeming with all kinds of wickedness. Rather, his dungeons are teeming with wickedness.

Where did so many ghosts come from, or so many statements that they are there, is unknown. Maybe because the castle was built on an almost 133-meter rock - the remains of an ancient volcano. Maybe because in the 17th century prisoners of war were kept in it. Perhaps, because during the terrible plague in the area of ​​the southern bridge of the castle people were buried alive. However, most likely, this cannot be explained by anything. Probably, people themselves get what they want to see or they see what they have been told. One way or another, no excursion around the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, is complete without visiting the ancient castle. And no inspection of the ancient castle ends with stories and, allegedly, with tourists' testimonies about the presence of ghosts in this picturesque building.

The hysteria around Edinburgh Castle not only does not fade away with time and the increasing development of civilization, but even quite the opposite. This is evidenced by the unprecedented ghost hunt in the history of mankind, which took place in 2001 in this place. A group led by the famous British psychiatrist and ghost hunter Richard Weismann and nine other scientists, accompanied by at least two hundred volunteers, spent several days exploring all the corridors, basements and attics of this structure in search of evidence of the mystical presence in it.

I was personally amazed by the fact that this issue was dealt with by professional and recognized scientists, and not typical ufologists, who, unfortunately, very often do not differ in the objectivity of their perception of the world. Although it is not at all surprising that the whole procession was led by no one, but a psychiatrist. This is probably the most suitable specialist for most of these cases.

As befits a serious approach, this pandemonium gathered in the iconic castle not just to stare at it and look for ghosts stunned by a huge crowd in the darkest corners. Scientists are fully armed with all the necessary equipment capable of recording the slightest fluctuations and unnatural changes in the internal environment of the structure.

What did you manage to fix in the end? Of course, no one saw the ghosts with their own eyes, but they still managed to document a number of oddities in photos, videos or devices: inexplicable shadows on walls and ceilings; mysterious silhouettes in the dark; strange green blots on surfaces. And this is not counting those subjective experiences of danger and fear that accompany almost all participants in the experience.

The most famous ghosts: London Underground.

Ghosts in England have chosen all possible forests, parks, cemeteries, castles, churches, shops and almost all mansions. It seems that old England attracts not only immigrants from all over the world in search of a better life, but also ghosts, who seem to like the local climate. So it turns out that they have already filled all possible habitats and even began to settle in very unusual places. For example, in the subway. Just like beggars.

No kidding, the London Underground is indeed another place in which, according to eyewitnesses, there are also many ghosts that frighten the measured British. In 1994, they closed the Aldwych station and began renting it out for various parties and other entertainment events who began to visit, as they say, some kind of deceased famous singer feeling nostalgic for public attention. It is regularly seen by the workers of this former station. Sometimes it is possible to notice traces remaining in the places where she was.

On the site of the current Covent Garden station, there was once a pharmacy, which was often visited by the actor William Terriss, who was killed in 1897. Since the middle of the 20th century, he has been very often seen at this metro station. Once, when he appeared in the recreation room of the metro workers, many witnesses to this fact asked the authorities to transfer them to other areas of work.

The most famous ghost of the London underground is Anne Naylor, murdered in 1758, who regularly visits Farringdon Station at night. Belated ones visited the station and hurrying to work before everyone else very often hear her screams and speech in this place, and therefore she received the nickname Screaming Ann.

The most famous ghosts : The White house.

In general, it is not so uncommon to observe ghosts and ghosts of large personalities for a long time. past years locally their former job... Even in the Moscow Kremlin after the death of V. I. Lenin, his ghost was observed many times. The same applies to the ghost of Ivan the Terrible and a number of other famous rulers. The situation is no better with the official residence of the Japanese prime ministers. The fact is that this building has always enjoyed a bad reputation and bloody incidents took place in it. It would be funny, but it adds problems directly to the prime ministers, who are forced to work in such an atmosphere. Some of them, for example, Yoshiro Mori, explicitly stated that ghosts were found in the residence.

But the most bizarre cases occurred in the Republic of Malawi, where the president had to call priests of all possible confessions to expel the spirit from his residence, and in Israel, where a security camera in the Knesset once discovered a strange luminous object.

Especially in terms of visions of ghosts, the White House in Washington, DC, has become famous, where presidential administrations and the presidents themselves have long sat. Particularly disturbing are the chambers of the people's deputies, the spirit of President Abraham Lincoln, who, as it happened, is not the first time slipping into the chronicles of the anomalous. The first to see the spirit of Lincoln was President Calvin Coolidge's wife, who saw him directly in the oval office, where he was most often noticed. Then one of Roosevelt's secretaries saw him. The stubborn ghost did not pass even such a tall person as the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina, who spent the night in the White House during the time of the same Roosevelt.

According to rumors, supposedly, there are a lot of other well-known and not so ghosts in the White House. For example, the wife of President Woodrow Wilson saw the ghost of the wife of one of the former heads of state in the garden in front of the building. Vice President Henry Wilson was seen several times in the basements of the building. Among other celebrities whose spirits at one time or another were seen in the White House, two former Speakers of the House of Representatives D Cannon and Charles Clarke can be noted, who regularly visit the current inhabitants of this building, although it is simply impossible to verify this, of course, since despite the total video control, no evidence of these phenomenal phenomena has ever been presented to the public.

It would be possible to blame all the unusual phenomena in the White House on journalists looking for good fees, but among the witnesses of unusual phenomena in the most important residence of the world were such personalities as Bill Clinton's wife Hillary, who, by her own admission, was shivering from the noise of invisible footsteps. of people. Unlike other presidential wives, Hillary deserves more credibility, if only because of her highly successful personal political career.

The most famous ghosts : Golshany.

The history of a small town in Belarus could be watched on the air "Inexplicable, but true", where many witnesses and workers were interviewed historical museum located in a 17th century Franciscan monastery. Briefly, the story is that from the very moment the buildings were built, strange phenomena were observed in them. Until now, museum workers sometimes witness ghosts and unexplained phenomena. More than one research group came to Golshany, and some of them also managed to contemplate these phenomena.

Those who believe in the presence of a real ghost in this place are completely sure that it belongs to a young girl who was immured alive within the walls of the monastery during its construction. The fact is that with an unsuccessful construction, the so-called construction sacrifice took place. This brutal custom house building was widespread in the old days. It is believed that in many historical palaces and fortresses there are grooves in the walls with the same children or girls walled up.

This simple story would be an ordinary bike, but once upon a time renovation works the builders found the very construction sacrifice in the wall, which only once again proved that not everything is in order with the monastery.

The most famous ghosts : White Ladies.

It just so happened that completely different ghosts in different countries people accidentally started giving the same name. This is not surprising, because every castle cannot be filled with a new name for a ghost, but there are ghosts, judging by eyewitness accounts, in every ancient castle. So several ghosts, called White Ladies, were born all over the world at once. The most famous of them are three: Belarusian, Czech and Estonian. Moreover, in each case, the White Ladies are the most famous in their countries.

The Belarusian White Lady is the very construction sacrifice in Golshany, about which it is written above. It is impossible to envy her fate, but the Czech namesake, who was called Perkhta from famous surname Rozhmberkov. Fatal for her was the moment of the marriage, to which her tough father forced her, and which she did not want at all, as if she felt unkind. And so it turned out. The husband was extremely cruel and Perkhta lived with him for more than twenty years in unbearable conditions. Immediately after her death, a strange white female ghost began to be noticed in absolutely all castles of the Rosenberg family, of which there are as many as five. Until now, the White Lady is regularly seen in these castles and she has become the most famous Czech ghost.

The story of the Estonian White Lady is no less sad. According to legend, during the Middle Ages, a monk of the Dome Cathedral at the Bishop's Castle fell in love with a local peasant woman. However, her parents wanted to marry her off as a rich man, and she was forced to change into a boy and hide in the cathedral as a chorus until better times. However, the couple was soon figured out. The monk was left to die in a dungeon, and the girl was immured alive in a wall.

How much the legend corresponds to reality is difficult to say. However, the girl's ghost can still be observed in the city of Haapsalu. locals and ghostbusters. Moreover, this is the very rare case when anyone can become an eyewitness. To do this, you just need to be in this city in early August each year and watch the local Episcopal Castle, or rather, the remains of it. Even the city's official authorities, in the person of the mayor himself, who probably hopes to attract tourists in this way, assure that the White Lady can be observed in these places even during the day, but even better it is obtained on a full moon with a clear sky.

Interestingly, people gather at the ruins of the castle not only to gaze at the ghost, but also because it has become a symbol of a strong and happy love... It is for this reason that there are far more couples in love in Haapsalu during the August days than are typical ghost hunters.

The most famous ghosts : Black hunchback in Ostankino.

Nobody remembers exactly when for the first time a very strange old woman began to appear on the territory of the modern Ostankino district and the Ostankino museum-estate, built at the end of the 18th century, who was nicknamed the Black Humpbacked ghost. At first, it was simply seen by individual peasants. Then she warned about the bad consequences of local builders who dug up some wasteland for production purposes. At the same time, every time she somehow appeared and disappeared from nowhere. Everything would have been nothing if one day, as rumors say in everyone, she had not dreamed of the Emperor Paul himself when he was in these places and did not warn him of impending troubles (he was killed in March 1801).

So to this day, the Black Hunchbacked from time to time appears in the area of ​​the television center, and its inhabitants have long started a custom to take this mystical character seriously. At any corporate television party, it is customary to leave your grandmother a glass of vodka and a bar of chocolate, as if to appease her in case of emergencies. They believe in her existence not only from conversations and lectures, but also because there is plenty of evidence that she regularly appears in the television center. This especially often happens at critical moments for him.

Many people associate the mysticism of the Ostankino places with historical data that earlier there were someone's remains on them, from which the name of the area originated. However, this is ruled out, since the original name was Ostashkovo.

The most famous ghosts : Mikhailovsky Castle.

Perhaps the most famous in the area modern Russia the abode of the ghost. Yes, what a ghost. According to testimonies and legends based on real facts, the ghost of Emperor Paul himself wanders in the Mikhailovsky Castle. It should be noted that it is far from always possible to see him there. They say that only once a year - on his birthday, September 20, 1754. On this day, allegedly, you can see him walking around the building, looking out the windows and opening the doors.

Why should Paul the First appear exactly on his birthday in this particular place? There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the castle built by architects Bazhenov and Brenn was originally the design of the Emperor himself. Pavel himself took part in the direct architectural design of the building. Subsequently, the Mikhailovsky Castle became not only a favorite dwelling place for the tsar's person, but also its kind of fortress, in which he could feel safe. As you know, contemporaries did not really like Paul for his views, let's say, not entirely patriotic in nature. In other words, the love put into the building, according to psychics, could not remain without a trace and even after his death could have power. It seems like, even in the next world, in the other world, he regularly recalls his favorite place in all of Russia (he also had a lot of favorite places abroad).

Secondly, it was in the Mikhailovsky Castle that the violent death of Paul the First overtook, why his spirit can also still be tied to the place, as ghostbusters believe. It is curious, but by a strange coincidence, before the appearance of the castle, in its place was the Summer Palace of Elizabeth Petrovna, in which future emperor was born. It turns out that his life path started and ended in the same place. Isn't it an argument in favor of his presence in this place so far?

Undoubtedly very controversial issue that in this ancient building there is at least some otherworldly power. However, his story forces one to connect to the imagination all possible stereotypes about ghosts and everything connected with it, and, perhaps, that is why people consider the Mikhailovsky Castle a haunted place.

In our world, there is a lot of mysterious, unknown and little-studied. Such phenomena include the paranormal, which still excite the minds of many people who believe in ghosts. In this article, we will talk about some of the most famous ghosts ... Believe it or not is a purely individual matter, but it's worth finding out.

One of the most famous ghosts living in an equally legendary place - the Tower of London. Anne was the consort of King Henry VIII and the mother of the Queen Elizabeth I... The loving king, having laid eyes on the maid of honor, decided to get rid of his lawful wife, accusing her of adultery. A young woman executed by beheading, and since then, her spirit began to appear in the castle and beyond. Eyewitnesses claimed to have seen ghost woman holding his head under his arm.

Rumor has it that four of King Henry's six wives became ghosts after death. Probably to weave their ghostly intrigues against the treacherous spouse.

Another well-known and unexplored phenomenon. This ghost ship observed off the South African coast. True, the distance to it is always quite large, as if for some reason it cannot come to the shore or to cruising ships. According to the existing legend, the captain of this ship took revenge on the girl who rejected him by killing her fiancé. And the girl, out of grief, threw herself off the cliff into the sea.

In order to avoid punishment, Philip van der Decken (that was the name of the killer) decided to flee on his ship, but was caught in a violent storm. He did not want to wait out the storm in a quiet bay, but tried to bypass the reefs in bad weather and vowed to destroy any team member who tried to go ashore or prevent him. In anger, he shook his fists and cursed everything around him. Providence punished the vain Philip, and his ship sank with all the crew.

Now ghost ship plows the ocean and only once a decade can the captain go ashore for exactly one day to find a girl who would agree to marry him. Then the curse will dissipate. Van der Decken worn out over the centuries, or modern girls are looking for princes, not pirates.

In fact, there are a great many phantoms with this name in the world, but, like most creatures of the other world, they are not distinguished by kindness. And here White Panna from the Czech Republic, on the contrary, is the keeper of a kind.

As a young girl, Perchta Rozmberk was forcibly given in marriage to the nobleman Jan Lichtenstein, who was distinguished by a very tough and spiteful disposition. For all twenty years of her marriage, the meek woman endured the bullying of her husband and his sisters. On his deathbed, the spouse tried to get forgiveness from Perkhta, but was refused, with the words: "May you have no peace either in this world or in that", gave up the ghost.

In a bad hour, he said this, for his curse came true and after death Perkhta's soul did not find peace. So she wanders restless soul on the castle, being a harbinger of death for any family member, if they see her in black gloves, if she appears in red, then a fire should be expected. And if she smiles, then in the near future the Rozhmberk family will have good luck and good news.

Myrtle Plantation Slave

According to legend, a slave named Chloe once lived in one of the American mansions. The woman had a bad habit of spying and eavesdropping through the keyhole for all the inhabitants of the mansion. But one day the owner caught her doing this and cut off one ear as punishment. As a result, the unfortunate woman had to constantly wear a green scarf to hide her wound. But the punishment did not bring Chloe to her senses, but on the contrary. She decided to take revenge on her master and baked a cake for him, in which she put poisonous oleander leaves. Only now the owner did not manage to taste the poisoned food - two daughters and a wife outstripped him. As a result of terrible torment, the women died.

Mansion on Myrtle Plantation (USA, Louisiana, Saint Francisville)

The master's anger fell on his slaves, who quickly identified the culprit and hanged Chloe on the same day. History has come down to us in the form of vague legends and old photographs. However, it's not just Chloe's ghost that appears on the local plantation. In the mirrors of the mansion, they say, one of the girls she killed is displayed - the ghost sends curses to those who dare to spend the night in her room.

Today, the local mansion is one of the most famous places for those who dare to touch the other world.

The Girl from the Cemetery of Resurrection

Mary's ghost asks for a ride, but disappears without a trace near the cemetery

V American state Illinois, in the town of Justit, people often have to meet the mysterious ghost of a blue-eyed blonde woman voting on the sidelines. The ghost wears a white dress and calls himself Mary. They say that she asks for a ride, but near the Resurrection Cemetery, she disappears without a trace.

The legend about this girl has existed for about 80 years, it is curious that Mary meets not only those who know about her, but also completely strangers. So, in 1973, one of the taxi drivers complained that on the side of the road he picked up a girl who asked to give her a lift, and near the cemetery she mysteriously disappeared without paying. When the man was asked to name the signs of his companion, he accurately described Mary, known throughout the district.

Ghost ship

This ghost is known to all sailors. The Flying Dutchman landed in 1641. It was in this year that the captain of the East India Company vessel Hendrik van der Decken decided to round the Cape of Good Hope on a bet in a terrible storm, even if it cost him his life. Since then, no one has seen the ship, but not far from the cape they began to meet the ghost of the ship. At the same time, he appeared so close to the sides that it seemed that a collision was inevitable.

However, soon the ghost disappeared into the fog that always accompanied him. The Flying Dutchman had many eyewitnesses, but the most famous of them was King George V of England, who even noted in his diary a meeting with a mysterious ghost. The monarch wrote that at first he saw a mystical red light, then the outlines of the brig, with sails and masts, began to gradually emerge from the fog. Soon the ghost vanished into the haze, and the sailor who first noticed the "Dutchman" fell from the mast and crashed to death.

Anne Boleyn's ghost

Anne Boleyn's ghost can be found in churches and castles in London

The second wife of the English king Henry VIII managed to stay on the throne for only three years, this, however, was enough to give life to the future Queen Elizabeth I. Her Majesty was executed in 1536 on terrible charges of witchcraft and incest, but today historians come to the idea of the fact that it was simply slandered by the envious.

Since then, the ghost of Queen Anne can often be found in old churches and castles in London. Eyewitnesses say that they met a beautiful woman in luxurious outfits. However, some see a completely different picture - Anne Boleyn is seen as a decapitated corpse.

Kate from Coronado

In California, the city of Coronado is located, which has the "Hotel Coronado", made in the Victorian style. One day, Kate Morgan drove in, a pleasant woman who nevertheless looked tired and sick. In a small town, rumors immediately spread that the guest was trying to get rid of an unwanted child by overdosing with quinine. Kate was soon found shot to death on the path leading to the sea.

Next to her was a pistol, from which she shot herself. It became clear that the poor woman was so nervous and physically exhausted that she had no choice but to commit suicide. However, the accident left a mystical imprint on the hotel - strange things began to happen there. The guests complained that someone was constantly wandering along the corridors and slamming doors. Later, some people in the hotel even saw the ghost of a woman wandering around it.

The Stanley Hotel and Its Ghosts

The Stanley Hotel was made famous by Stephen King in his novel The Shining

This place was glorified by Stephen King in his famous novel"The Shining" and later in the film of the same name. The hotel is located in Estes Park, Colorado. I must say that the hotel is so grateful to the writer for the powerful advertising that the same film is constantly shown on Channel 42, it is not hard to guess which one. And ghosts are actually present here. Guests complain that the halls are constantly making noise and walking, but only now they are usually empty.

Her story could have happened to any noble young woman who lived in the Middle Ages: young Perkhta was forcibly married to a man much older than herself, the aristocrat Jan Lichtenstein. He turned out to be a villain, a pervert and a sadist, often raped and beat his young wife, and also, not embarrassed by her presence, organized orgies in the castle. The unhappy woman endured bullying for 20 years, because the morals of that era did not allow her to leave her despot spouse and return to her family, and the church would not have given permission for divorce.

Whoever reads the signature to the portrait, the White Lady will give a treasure

They say that before his death, Count Liechtenstein asked his wife for forgiveness, but she could not forgive him. Then the count cursed his wife with the words: "May you have no peace after death!"

Since then, Perchta has appeared in the former possessions of the Rozmberks: the old castle Sovinets and the neighboring town of Cesky Krumlov. It does no harm to anyone, but for the descendants of the clan it can mean a warning about the imminent death of one of the relatives.

Mistress from Echt

The lady from Echt can be found in Holland. The ghost is not tied to any particular place and can appear anywhere. The lady from Echt looks quite impressive: a torn dark dress, a thin cloak thrown over her shoulders, her head resting in thin emaciated hands, and blood oozes from the stump of her neck. However, this ghost is completely harmless to the casual traveler.

You can meet the Lady, as usual, only at night. In some cases, decapitated female figure can just walk by, and in some - stop in front of the person and talk to him. If for some reason you like a strange ghost, then it will take you to the place where the treasure is buried, but asks you not to take a single coin for yourself, but to distribute everything to those in need. If the one who received the treasure does not fulfill this condition, then the gold coins found and assigned to them will turn to dust.

Once the Lady from Ekhta met a young man returning home at night on the road. She pointed out to him the place where the treasure was buried, and said that he could take it for himself if he only dug up the treasure without making a sound.

Black Lady of Nesvizh Castle

The Black Lady is the ghost of Barbara Radziwill, a representative of one of the noble families of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Previously, she could be found in one of the rooms of her ancestral nest - Nesvizh Castle. The ghost looked like a beautiful blond woman with sad brown eyes in a rich black dress and pearls on a slender neck.

It so happened that, while still alive, the young and beautiful princess met with the heir to the Polish crown, Sigismund Augustus. As usual, a passion arose between the young people, they became lovers and eventually got married in secret. Shortly thereafter, the first wife of Sigismund Augustus died of epilepsy, and Barbara was introduced to the court as the legitimate wife of the king. Unfortunately, the queen mother of Bona Sforza hated all the offspring of the Radziwill family, and therefore soon Barbara was poisoned by her order and died in terrible agony. They did not bury her in the tomb of the Polish kings, but took her body to her native castle.

Oddly enough, but this is almost the only ghost, the origin of which can be explained by something other than the rich imagination of the people who saw it. Barbara, for example, was seen by many people during a seance arranged for the inconsolable king by the famous "magician and spellcaster" of that time, Pan Tvardovsky. He summoned the spirit of the deceased queen with the help of the so-called magic mirror, having previously agreed with the king that he will not try to touch his wife. Of course, the king could not resist, tried to hug her, and she disappeared with a loud clang. The secret of her appearance lies in the mirror, which Pan Tvardovsky, who left the Nesvizh castle in a hurry, left there. Behind a thin layer of amalgam, the image of Barbara is engraved, exactly as she was during her lifetime. If the light hits the mirror at a certain angle, then a ghost appears in the room.
