Ocean Avenue, Amity Ville, USA
You must have surely seen the famous hit movie The Amity Ville horror. This place’s story is very similar. Ronald Defeo Jr. (saying that he was possessed) killed his entire family in a fit of troubled illusions. The place is said to be haunted by those who were shot in their sleep. When George and Kathy Lutz moved into this mansion, little did they know what they were headed for. The uneasy feeling soon turned to life threatening events and the family soon fled from the house in their boat.

Lulia Hasdeu Castle, Romania
This castle was built by Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu after the death of his 19-year-old daughter, Iulia. After the death of his beloved daughter, he became a practitioner of spiritualism in an attempt to reconnect with Iulia’s spirit and for this, he designed a special room to carry out his spiritual ventures. He painted each and every part of the walls with black. According to many witnesses, Iulia haunts the castle, walking through the castle’s courtyard in a white dress and is seen holding daisies. To add to the spookiness of this ancient building, people have also reported that she is heard playing the piano at night.
Believe in these legends or not, all of us have experienced paranormal activities at some point in our life, and we often shake off the thought by reassuring ourselves that it was just a shadow playing a trick, or a simple misunderstanding. All the above places and many more have terrified more people than they are accounted for, and it was no trick!
