9. Château de Châteaubriant, France
Château de Châteaubriant is an ancient castle, having been built during the 11th century. Its hauntings are said to have began in the 16th century, after the death of Jean de Laval’s wife, Françoise de Foix. De Laval was summoned to see King Francis I, and he allowed his wife to tag along. Françoise soon become the Queen’s lady-in-waiting and the King’s lover as well.
Françoise mysteriously died in October of 1537. Rumour has it her husband poisoned her and locked her up when he heard of her affair with the King. For hundreds of years, she has appeared during the night on the anniversary of her death, aimlessly walking through the halls of the castle.
