Introduction
From abandoned asylums to cursed mansions, some places carry a darkness that time cannot erase. These are not just "scary buildings"—they are locations with documented paranormal activity, violent histories, and chilling eyewitness accounts. If you are a fan of the supernatural, these 5 most haunted houses in the world should be on your bucket list (or your "stay away" list).
1. The Winchester Mystery House (San Jose, USA)
Built by Sarah Winchester, the widow of the rifle tycoon, this mansion is a labyrinth designed to confuse spirits.
The Legend: Sarah believed she was cursed by the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles. To appease them, she kept building the house 24/7 for 38 years.
The Horror: Doors that open to steep drops, stairs that lead to ceilings, and secret passages. Visitors report being tapped on the shoulder or hearing footsteps in empty hallways.

2. Monte Cristo Homestead (New South Wales, Australia)
Regarded as Australia's most haunted location, this house has seen a tragic number of deaths since it was built in 1885.
The Legend: A maid fell from a balcony, a baby was dropped down stairs, and a stable boy burned to death—all within these walls.
The Horror: Guests often report seeing a "Lady in White" and feeling an overwhelming sense of dread in the children's room.
3. Ancient Ram Inn (Gloucestershire, England)
Built on a pagan burial ground, this 12th-century inn is said to be home to over 20 spirits and a demonic incubus.
The Legend: It sits on "Lay Lines" that intersect with Stonehenge, making it a spiritual hotspot.
The Horror: Owners have been dragged across the floor by invisible hands, and recordings have captured terrifying demonic growls.
4. Myrtles Plantation (St. Francisville, USA)
Known as "One of America's Most Haunted Homes," this plantation is rumored to be built over an ancient Indian burial ground.
The Legend: The most famous ghost is 'Chloe,' a slave who poisoned the owner's family. Her figure has been captured in several famous photographs.
The Horror: A haunted mirror in the hallway is said to contain the souls of the poisoned family members. Many report seeing handprints on the glass from the inside.
5. The Sallie House (Atchison, USA)
Unlike other grand mansions, this simple house hides a modern-day demon. It gained fame in the 1990s for its violent attacks on residents.
The Legend: 'Sallie' was a young girl who died during a botched surgery in the house.
The Horror: Physical attacks are common here. Male visitors often leave with deep scratches, burns, and bruises after entering the nursery.
Conclusion: Don't Go Alone
Whether it’s the restless spirits of the past or something more malevolent, these houses prove that some walls do talk—and sometimes, they scream.
