As the frightful holiday of Halloween draws ever closer, you’re probably looking for thrilling ways to get into the trick-or-treat spirit. Here are some of the most chilling haunted sights around the world that you should visit for a frightful encounter if you dare.
Zvikov Castle
Sandwiched between Prague and Čimelice in Czechia, this majestic castle was occupied until 1947, when the government confiscated it. Following its vacancy, witnesses reported a presence moving about the ancient tower annexed to the castle. What’s more, a recent visitor spoke about their camera battery dying while being fully charged. All of the spookiness appears to happen in the tower, so enter if you dare.
The Stanley Hotel
Since 1909, The Stanley Hotel has been a fan favorite in Colorado, celebrated for its world-renowned whiskey bar. When famous author Stephen King and his wife, Tabitha checked in, the hotel was on the verge of closing for the season. The only guest in the hotel at the time, Stephen King, recalled how creepy the vacant halls felt. “I dreamed of my three-year-old son running through the corridors, looking back over his shoulder, eyes wide, screaming. He was being chased by a fire hose,” he revealed, waking up from his slumber sweating. Since then, the hotel has become a popular site for ghost tours.
Valley of the Kings
One of the most important archeological sites in Egypt, the Valley of the Kings is the ideal place to experience a chilling evening in which you travel back to the ancient world. The burial ground of pharaohs from the 16th Century BCE until the 11th Century BCE, this is the ideal place for a nighttime Halloween tour. With multiple visitors claiming to have seen an Egyptian Pharaoh riding a chariot pulled by ghostly steeds, perhaps you, too, will witness a frightful scene on your visit.
