The Forbidden City, Beijing, China The old imperial residence of China, now a museum, the Forbidden City, must be seen on any trip to Beijing. You might not be aware, though, that the well-known tourist spot has quite the reputation among believers in the paranormal. The palace complex saw its fair share of killings during its 600-year existence as a palace, whether from envious concubines poisoning one another or executions carried out at the emperor's command. It goes without saying that since the palace first welcomed visitors in the 1940s, there have been numerous stories of unusual occurrences. The most typical tale describes a woman walking around the grounds wailing while wearing all white, like most good ghost stories do.

Isla de las Munecas, Mexico Xochimilco has achieved some level of internet renown for its Island of the Dolls despite being a UNESCO World Heritage site for its well-preserved relics of Aztec life. The location, which is tucked away among the numerous canals in the area, is well-known for the hundreds of dolls—and doll parts—hanging from trees and lying around on the ground. The chinampa, which is equivalent to an artificial island, was formerly the home of a now-deceased man by the name of Julian Santa Barrera, despite the fact that it could appear more like a horror film set. Barrera gathered and displayed the toys in an effort to fend off evil spirits after discovering a deceased girl's body in a nearby canal, according to National Geographic. Those who are daring can rent their own boat and view the

The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado When the Stanley Hotel opened in 1909, tourists have been drawn to Estes Park by its grand Georgian architecture and legendary whisky bar. Yet, the Stanley rose to new heights of fame after serving as the model for Stephen King's fictitious Overlook Hotel in The Shining. Aside from that unsettling association, the hotel has also been linked to numerous additional ghost sightings and creepy piano music. The Stanley Hotel smartly capitalises on its notoriety by providing nightly ghost tours and psychic readings from the on-site Madame Vera.

Pittock Mansion, Portland, Oregon Pioneers from Oregon Henry and Georgiana Pittock inspired the Pittock Mansion's creative design and construction when they decided to create their dream home in 1909, while they were in their golden years. Regrettably, Georgiana and Henry were only able to enjoy their property for a short time before passing suddenly in 1918 and 1919, respectively. Georgiana's favourite flower, roses, filled a room without any flowers, and a childhood painting of Henry moved around the house by itself have both been attributed to the building, which is now a popular tourist attraction. Death was obviously not a sufficient excuse for the Pittocks to leave their cherished house.

Mizpah Hotel, Tonopah, Nevada One of Nevada's first luxury hotels, the Mizpah Hotel debuted in 1907 and underwent a complete restoration in 2011. It had solid granite walls and Victorian-style furnishings. But, the opulent hotel has a past it unabashedly embraces that is as blood-red as its garish decor. According to legend, a woman passed away on the fifth floor and her soul never left the structure. According to reports, the "Lady in Red" now announces her arrival by whispering into men's ears and placing pearls from her shattered necklace on visitors' pillows. By allowing guests to stay in the Lady in Red suite and offering the Red Lady Bloody Mary at the hotel restaurant, the Mizpah upholds (or capitalises on) her fame.

Hotel Monte Vista, Flagstaff, Arizona A long-term resident who frequently hung raw meat from the chandelier in Room 210 and two women who were thrown from the third story and now try to suffocate male guests while they sleep are just a few of the paranormal visitors who have overstayed their welcome at Flagstaff's Hotel Monte Vista. According to reports, there is apparently a baby whose unsettling cries have caused staff employees to rush upstairs from the basement. (Actor John Wayne even experienced something supernatural here once.)

Dock Street Theatre, Charleston, South Carolina This location in downtown Charleston is one of the oldest theatres in America and has seen a lot of turmoil and drama through the years. The Planters Inn was constructed there after the original theatre was destroyed by fire; it underwent a theatre conversion in the 1930s. Nettie Dickerson, who, according to mythology, was hit by lightning while standing on the hotel's balcony, is the most outlandish ghost in this place. It has been seen that her shadow, wearing a crimson gown, may be seen gliding down the theater's second level. The famous actor Junius Brutus Booth, who frequented the inn and was the father of Lincoln murderer John Wilkes, was also present in an unearthly capacity. Jennifer Scherer
