The 13 Most Haunted Places in the World


Ancient Ram Inn, Gloucestershire, England

This quaint little Inn in Gloucestershire plays host to ghost-enthusiasts year-round. The building, which was built on a 12th century pagan burial ground, is the very picture of a haunted house, complete with creaky floorboards, musty smells, chilly rooms, and dimly lit hallways. Completing the picture is the accompanying accounts of paranormal activity - ghostly residents including two demons (a succubus and incubus) and a witch, poltergeists, and orbs – and the knowledge that eight patrons had to be exorcised after their visit. The sinister history of the Inn, which includes murder, child sacrifices, pagan rituals and suicide, thoroughly explains the spirits present between the walls.
