Random Creepy Destinations Have Supernatural (10 items)

  (#10) Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

  • Place

  Filled with ghost sightings, voices, unexplainable sounds, and other paranormal activity, this asylum was the place of hundreds of involuntary commitments and death. Daytime and flashlight tours exist at the paranormal location; guides will show visitors the main areas, as well as the treatment areas of the building. After hearing the history of the location, and some of the haunted history of the asylum, many visitors are positive the site is filled with spirits.

  (#8) Ecclesgrieg House, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

  Ecclesgreig House and its surrounding area, St. Cyrus, is filled with tormented stories that are still harrowing to this day. One such tale was of King James I of Scotland, who became displeased with the constant complaints about the then sheriff, James Melville of Glenbervie, and so he permitted his people to make soup of the man. Another is about a blind piper who entered a cave with his dog and became lost. While spirits helped guide him out of the cave, his pipes can still be heard inside long after he's passed on.

  (#4) Mad Woman's Room, Yorkshire, UK

  Charlotte Brontë's mentally ill character was locked in an attic for 10 years by her husband. The "mad-woman" attic that inspired the story is open for public tours in Yorkshire, UK. The novel was apparently inspired by a real paranormal presence that Brontë experienced in the attic. Now, fans of Jane Eyre can visit and maybe feel the same presence the author had experienced in the attic.

  (#3) Sterling Opera House

  • Place

  Opened on April 2, 1889, Derby's Opera House could fit 1,200 people in its theater. Although it's closed, many people have reported hearing the voices of children and seeing dark images in the theater. The Italianate Victorian architecture that once added to its beauty now adds to its creepiness. The TV show, Ghost Hunters, featured The Sterling Opera House, where the hunters recorded EVPs and voices.

  (#6) West Mountain Sanitarium, Scranton, PA

  The former site of an open-air tuberculosis treatment center, West Mountain Sanitarium is known for its ghost sightings and the painful past that surrounds it. The site of the former treatment center is rundown and torched, and weathered patient beds still exist in the dilapidated buildings from a fire that killed many of the residents. Unlike some of the other sites on this list, this location definitely does not have an open season for visitors. Nonetheless, the haunted history tempts many brave visitors who seek an uninhibited paranormal experience.

  (#2) Eastern State Penitentiary

  • Place

  Pennsylvania has a long and significant history in the United States - maybe that's why so many haunted sites exist in the Commonwealth. Each Halloween, Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary is open for a "haunted house" visit called "Behind The Wall." However, the fun that surrounds the event doesn't cleanse the brutal history of Eastern State Penitentiary. During the 1800s through the early 1920s, the prison was the prototype for security and punishment. Inmates received punishments with the "Mad Chair" and "Iron Gag." Many visitors have recounted stories of paranormal experiences, and those who study the location have relayed stories of hearing screams and other similar sounds of suffering.
