5 of the World’s Most Haunted Places

Some people love a good scare; after all, there’s a reason that haunted tours, ghost-hunter shows, and horror movies find such success around the world. If you love being spooked, there are countless ways to incorporate a little bit of mystery and mayhem into your travels, if you dare.
Some of these places – haunted vaults, cities of voodoo witches, creepy crime scenes and suicidal forests  – are enough to make even the most fearless travelers reconsider their trip for “safer” destinations. Put them together and you have got yourself one heck of a fright fest. So grab your flashlight and running shoes and get ready because here are five of the most haunted and bloodcurdling tours in the world. Are you brave enough to take one?
 

Whitechapel in London, England

 Whitechapel and Spitalfields set the crime scene for one of the most famous and notoriously elusive serial killers in the world-Jack the Ripper.

In a bloody twelve-week span that ran from August 31 to November 9, 1888, 11 murdered women were discovered-only five were credited to Jack the Ripper, but all of the homicides remain unsolved.
For around £10.00 curious travelers can be transported through the cobblestone streets of London’s East End, to the pubs Jack may have prowled and through the haunts of London’s most brutal murders.
While Jack the Ripper’s ghost is the most notorious, London’s East End is also said to be haunted by the spirits of his victims, by a group of Roman soldiers who once occupied the area and by an evil sea captain who haunts a local pub.
