The strange cries heard at night in a dilapidated penitentiary, the
glimpse of a `White Lady' floating through a graveyard, the face at
the window in a room that has been locked for decades - stories of
hauntings never cease to intrigue us. From palaces to prisons, from
an 11th century chateau in France to 'The Island of the Dolls' in
Mexico City, Haunted Places features the world's most fascinating
spooky locations. Some hauntings are recent, others are ancient,
but all the stories are striking: from the deceased monks who pace
the boundaries of a ruined former priory, to the lift operator in a
Canadian hotel still working his shift decades after he died, to
the infamous Vlad the Impaler, who haunts a Romanian castle where
he was imprisoned for seven years. With tales of the `Mad Old
Woman' who searches Highgate cemetery in London for the children
she supposedly murdered to strange laughter heard at night, from
apparitions to floating orbs to radios suddenly changing station,
Haunted Places features 150 outstanding photographs of haunted
sites. Each eerie photograph is accompanied by a caption explaining
the story of the haunting, from tragic accidents to brutal murders,
from executions to disease and other sorrowful endings.
