These aren’t urban legends, but cases of actual documented occurrences and uncanny activities. The paranormal is being taken more seriously now more than ever as many of these spooky goings-on have been reported over and over for years and then documented by investigators.
Throughout the world, you will find buildings, houses, even castles, from all different eras that share a history of the paranormal. These haunted places aren’t necessarily terrifying and the activities reported have not necessarily been evil, despite the negative connotation of the word “haunted.” Many a haunting simply involves the reported spirit or spirits of former residents, many benevolent, who have trouble letting go of their former existence. Maybe they came from high society, maybe they left loved ones without saying goodbye, or maybe they were wronged so horribly that they simply can’t let it go.
This type of spirit can manifest itself in the most upsetting of ways, including lashing out violently towards visitors or new occupants of places the spirit believes to be theirs. Regardless, these spirits remain to manifest themselves whenever they see fit in their favorite locales. Here, in no particular order, I present a list of twelve of the most documented haunted places in the world. See if you have the nerve to spend the night in any of them!
12. The White House, Washington, D.C.
One of the most famous homes in the world, the White House is the residence and office for the President of the United States, and has been since 1800. It has been the focus of haunted activity for generations. With so much history and historical figures having lived in and visited this grand estate, it is little wonder that the place is arguably the most haunted home in America.
Many have reported witnessing the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, including Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and even Winston Churchill. More recently, the Obamas have admitted to have heard bizarre sounds emanating from the house in the middle of the night.
Two of the most haunted locations in the house are the Lincoln Bedroom and the Rose Room. On one occasion, when he was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill was staying in the Lincoln Bedroom. He had just finished a bath and was walking back when he saw what he swore was Lincoln himself standing by the fireplace. Others, such as former president’s Teddy Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover, and former first lady’s Jackie Kennedy and Lady Bird Johnson have also reported seeing the ghost of Lincoln by that same fireplace.
Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was staying nearby in the Rose Room when she answered a knock at the door in the middle of the night. She was astonished when she opened the door to find the ghost of Lincoln standing in the hallway. These are only some of the strange reports from visitors.
The hearty ghostly laughter of President Andrew Jackson has been heard, as has his violent swearing, plus sudden cold spots, disembodied footsteps, knocks, screams and some have even seen the apparition of former First Lady Abigail Adams floating through the East Room.
