- You might want to think
twice about where you travel. (haunting music) When looking for an adventure, people often first seek
out famous landmarks. They want excitement, perhaps an opportunity
to be a part of history. But some places hold a dark secret, one that no one ever bargains for. These are 10 famous
landmarks that are haunted. Number one is the Great Pyramid of Giza. On November 26, 1922, after
seven years of searching, archeologist Howard
Carter finally discovered the tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun, and all the treasures that came with it. Many people feared for the man's life as it was said that there was
a famous curse on the tomb that claimed death shall
come on swift wings to him that toucheth
the tomb of the Pharaoh. Though it's been said that
Carter avoided the ancient curse and died peacefully in 1939, many have claimed to have seen him wandering the Pyramid of Giza as if his soul is not
being allowed to rest. Additionally, floating
orbs have been seen, whispering and footsteps have been heard, and even two young children were seen running about the crypts only to vanish. Number two is Edinburgh Castle. Scotland is no stranger to ghost stories, having a number of castles with almost every one of
them said to be haunted. But by far the most
famous of them overlooks what is said to be the most haunted city in all of Europe, Edinburgh. Throughout history, Edinburgh
Castle has been the sight of considerable death and bloodshed, creating the perfect site
for paranormal activity. Hundreds upon hundreds of
tourists, and staff at the castle, have reported feeling being
pulled at, shoved, pinched, or otherwise touched, by
something that they couldn't see. The sounds of whispering,
screaming, laughing, and the bang of a drum
have all been heard, and many have seen the legendary headless
drummer boy himself. Other visible apparitions
include a decrepit old man, an angry woman, battered prisoners, and a ghostly dog that wanders
the cemetery on the grounds. One chilling tale tells of a
piper who wandered the tunnels under the castle hundreds of years ago. He played his bagpipes as he marched, so people could track his progress, but suddenly he stopped playing. He was never found, but it was said, on a dark night you can
still hear him playing. Number three is Corvin Castle. Located in Romania, Corvin Castle is known to the locals as Hunyadi Castle. But you may better know
it as Dracula's Castle. Built between 1307 and
1315 by Charles the first, Corvin is widely considered to be one of the most haunted
castles in the world. And with a dark history
like this place has, it's no wonder that it has
the reputation that it does. Corvin Castle's interior fountain was said to have been
constructed by Turkish prisoners who were promised freedom upon
completion, but never got it. It's said that their angry
spirits still wander the halls. A dungeon under the
castle's Hall of Knights was even home to Vlad the
Impaler for seven years, from 1462 until 1469, as King Corvin had him imprisoned there. It's said that this is
where the blood-crazed ruler truly lost his mind, and became the legendary
ruthless inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Visitors have claimed to have
heard screaming of slaves, seen silhouettes of figures
in pictures taken there, and some have even
claimed that angry spirits have left marks on them, torturing them as they
spent the night there. Number four is Bhangarh Fort. Built by King Sawai Madho
Singh in the early 1600s, Bhangarh Fort is surrounded by
ruins and the decaying husks of several temples that
have withered so much it's hard to pinpoint just how many there actually were 400 years ago. To put it simply, it looks
just like the kind of place people could easily go missing. Though the fort is a
world-famous landmark, the local Indian people refuse
to live anywhere near it. In fact, young locals
call it Bhoot Bangla, or the Fort of Ghosts. At night, multiple
ghosts have been sighted walking about the structure, so much so that locals were forced to have the entire fort locked up. It's even said that several people who have foolishly spent the night there have been found dead the next morning, making Bhangarh Fort not
only an Indian landmark, but also the most haunted
place in all of India. Number five is Chateau de Chateaubriant. Located in France, Chateau de Chateaubriant
was first constructed in the 11th century, and since then has seen
a great deal of murder, war, and mystery. Part of that mystery involves
the ghosts who tend to appear, some of them on a routine schedule. On October 16th, 1537, Francois
Dubois died in her room inside Chateau de Chateaubriant. A mistress of King Francis
the first of France, she was killed by her
husband, Jean de Laval, who couldn't handle his
knowledge of the affair. Since then, on October 16th of every year, the ghost of Francois can be seen wandering around the castle. It's been said that a
blood stain often appears on the floor of her room where she died, and if you're there at
the stroke of midnight on that anniversary, you can watch a procession
of ghosts, knights, monks, and Francois herself, that make their way up their staircase. Number six is Castle of Good Hope. Castle of Good Hope was built
in South Africa in 1674, and stands today as the oldest and largest of the country's colonial buildings. A big draw for tourists, the fortress houses quite a few specters, including a tall, glowing
man who's been seen standing atop the fort's high walls
staring down at the town below. If you're truly lucky, you might even see him leap off the wall to his apparent death. In the 1700s, a soldier hanged
himself in the bell tower, and the room was sealed off, and to this day people claim to hear one of the bells ringing
from time to time. It's also said that you can
hear the hanging man's footsteps as he makes his way to the spot
where he took his own life. Other ghosts include a
crying woman in gray, a beautiful young lady,
and a black ghostly hound that pounces on people, even knocking them to the
ground before disappearing. Number seven is the Forbidden City. There's a lot of reasons this city has the name that it does. Located in Beijing,
China, the Forbidden City, or the Purple City, as it's known there, was the Imperial Palace
for the Ming Dynasty. Built between 1406 and 1420, the palace was only
accessible by the upper class, with anyone deemed
unworthy not even allowed to hear the stories that it exists. The Forbidden City had over
600 years of assassinations, plotting, and cold-blooded
murder in its history. That said, there's no wonder
why the building is known as one of the most haunted
places in not only China, but the entire world. The most famous ghost
there is the Weeping Woman, who has been seen in white garments crying in various parts of the complex. Guards and passersby have
reported hearing someone play a flute, even though
there's no discernible source. Other ghosts, including royalty, guards, and even some concubines
who were murdered there have also been seen. Number eight is Mount Everest. Mount Everest is known for its incredibly difficult
challenge of reaching the top. But what's lesser known is
the sheer amount of death that's happened there, which makes sense. Those who climb this
mountain have to face a climb that surpasses 29,000
feet above sea level. So death is very much a risk. A number of people who've
attempted to climb Everest have reported seeing
ghosts of those who died on the mountain at various
points in their journey from base camp to peak. Over 220 human beings
have lost their lives trying to reach the top, with some of them radioing down, claiming to see people
in old climbing gear standing in front of them before their radio goes
permanently silent. Some of the ghost seem to
encourage climbers to make it, while others, seemingly jealous of them, go about trying to scare
them right off the rock. Number nine is the Tower of London. Easily one of the most haunted
places in the United Kingdom, the Tower of London has
multiple spirits in it, almost all of them malevolent. Built by William the
Conqueror on the north bank of the River Thames in 1078, the tower is officially known as Her Majesty's Royal
Palace and Fortress, and is home to the ghosts of Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey, and Thomas A. Becket, as well as many others. Beheaded on May 19th, 1536, Queen Anne Boleyn is said
to be the most widely seen and persistent of the building's
paranormal inhabitants. Witnesses claim she
walks about the castle, a headless apparition, while others have seen her wandering around the sight of her execution. The ghosts of two separate
children, former princes, have also been seen
walking as they hold hands with looks of sheer horror on their faces, silently whispering, "Come play with us." And number 10 is the White House. Quite possibly the
world's most famous house, the White House is not just a place that the President of the United States and their family calls home, but it's also home to a
number of apparitions. It's been reported by multiple people, including Prime Minister
Winston Churchill, and Presidents Roosevelt,
Hoover, and Eisenhower, that Abraham Lincoln himself
has appeared in the building standing by a fireplace,
pacing the upper hallways, or, in one occurrence, knocking
on bedroom doors at night. He's considered the most
frequently sighted ghost in the White House, with many suggesting that
since he was assassinated, he left a lot of work unfinished. The ghosts of Presidents Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, and John Tyler, have been encountered, as well, as a number of other individuals, including ex-first ladies, employees, and even British soldiers. People have heard voices, felt cold spots, and seen full-bodied
apparitions appear before them, making the White House
a paranormal anomaly. So those were 10 famous
landmarks that are haunted. But I want to know from you, what do you think of these
paranormal encounters? Are they simply people's imaginations playing tricks on them in the dark? Or something more diabolical? Leave your comments below, because I'll be reading through them, and I'm going to pin
the best one to the top. But, as always, thank you guys so much for coming by today. Remember to come back
tomorrow and every weekday at exactly 3:00 pm eastern standard time because I'll have a
brand new video for you. I'll see you then.
