Top 5 Most Haunted Places in the world: A Hair Raising Experience | As children we have heard a lot many scary ghost stories. These haunted stories still scare us in our dreams. If this is not enough to digest then let us brief you about some best haunted places on earth that would really give you that real jolt. Drowse yourself in a pure hair raising experience on most haunted places in world.
Bhan garh Fort - Rajasthan
Bhangarh Fort / Kila is located on the way to Alwar and Jaipur in Rajasthan in India. As per a legend there was a black magic sorcerer who cursed the residents of the palace that they all would die an unnatural death and their spirits will stay there for centuries to haunt the fort / kila forever. This fort would really freak any living mortal. One can seldom find a temporary household in the close periphery of this fort. Let us reveal you one more fact about this place. The village households found here are without roofs as there persists a popular belief and experience that the moment a rooftop is built on a house it collapses. This is said to be the most haunted place in India and amongst world's most haunted places. People are not allowed to spend the night in the fort, for obvious reasons. Believe us it is also said that anybody who has been to this place after dusk never comes back !
Highgate Cemetery - North London, England
This is just like watching a horror flick of Alfred Hitchcock in reality. By the time dusk settles down the ultimate horror environment starts to descend on the panorama. Highgate cemetery is one ideal place for ghost hunters. Headless statues, creaky pathways, unmanaged grass pavements and lest we forget the typical hooting of owls is a common feature to be found in this place. High gate cemetery also scores the top slot in being the haunted places in United Kingdom. Still one cannot ignore the Gothic architecture, beautiful serene ambiance and lest we forget the shivery silence which overrules the entire arena!
Screaming Tunnel - Niagara Falls, Ontario
This one is for those brave hearts boasting hard of their fearless spirits. This is located beneath the railway track that connects Niagara falls to Toronto and New York. As per a legend about a century ago there was a farm house located just near the south entrance of this tunnel. One night the farm house caught fire and a young girl doused in flame screaming for help running wild.Nobody knows the story how the farm house caught fire. She ran through the tunnel if in case she could get some help but alas she was burnt completely and collapsed. So from that day onwards whoever tries lighting a match in the tunnel the spirit comes out screaming and haunting the person till dead. Check out for yourself the truth!
Changi Beach - Singapore
Changi Beach in Singapore is the ultimate one. The Changi beach in Singapore is believed of being a popular killing ground of the Chinese soldiers by the Japanese during the second world war. Thousands of Chinese soldiers were tortured and killed during this operation as they were suspected by the Japanese of getting into anti Japanese activities. This beach stands witness to the killing of innumerable innocent chinese. Till date beach combers thronging to this place could hear the screams and weeping of people. Often at night people could also find deep dig pits as that needed for burials of dead bodies. The most horrifying is that some beach combers have found headless bodies of chinese soldiers on the beach at night.
Monte Cristo - New South Wales, Australia
Monte Christo mansion is recalled by travellers as a place which shouldn't even haunt the memories. As per people's version Mrs Crawley the owner of this mansion locked herself up after the death of her husband and never came out in the rest 23 years of her life except for once. She died in there and her spirit lingers in the mansion. Passerby could hear the shrills and weeping of a woman. People who visit the mansion get suffocated as if some spirit is trying to press in them. They get respite of the shackles only when they come out. Instances have also been cited of people turning blue. Well this all sounds to be so horrifying and weird so now all those dare devils out there pack your bags and get to these places to test the genuineness of the evident truth or may be myth. #travel, #traveltips, #travelnfx, #tourism
EXPLORING SYDNEY'S oldest CEMETERY - ROOKWOOD, AUSTRALIA
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a walk around Sydney's oldest and most historic cemetery, Rookwood, which is located around 20 kilometers west of the city. We are not going to look in the national parts of the cemetery (Italian, Russian, Chinese, etc.) we are only going to appreciate the old parts. Since this cemetery is very old and since it does not contain magnificent monuments (like the one in Milan, Italy) I have videotaped the clips in a 'walking' format, watch it and you will understand what I mean. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds the world's largest natural harbour, and sprawls towards the Blue Mountains to the west.
Was Trump Right About New US Embassy - London's Vauxhall and Nine Elms
WasTrump Right About New US Embassy - London’s Vauxhall and Nine Elms?
Joolz Guides goes to find out in this London Walking Tour of Vauxhall.
New American Embassy in Nine Elms
Donald Trump recently said, “The reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!
The building is surrounded by a moat deep enough to stop a large vehicle while concrete bollards are hidden in hedges. The building itself is encased in 15cm thick bomb proof glass while plastic sails are in place to reduce solar glare.
Nine Elms has for many years been used for industrial purposes, populated by warehouses, scrap yards, garages
Two new London Underground stations to serve the area are also under construction and a pedestrian bridge across the Thames to the north has also been agreed.
There is also a planned Sky Pool in Embassy Gardens so you will be able to swim from one building to another!
Vauxhall Bridge (as seen in Spectre)
Wooden remnants of original bridge 1500 BC
Oldest in situ structure in london
Tyburn and Efra and Thames met here so it was a sacred place and was a spiritual bridge.
Bridge between spiritual and material. God and man.
Link between bridges and the sacred still exists. The pope is called Pontifex Bridge builder.
The new Bridge was built 1811 - first iron bridge across Thames and then rebuilt with bronze statues of women representing Agriculture architecture, pottery Local Government, education Astronomy
Name Vauxhall
King John’s Knight Falkes De Breaute. Acquired land here and built a house called Falkes Hall
1857 - Alex Wilson Vauxhall Car founded in Vauxhall Ironworks
Griffin was Falkes do Breaute family coat of arms
Oval Cricket Ground
Opened in 1845
Used to be like an allotment for the Duchy of Cornwall to grow vegetables and sell them.
Leased it for a cricket ground in 1844
1872 - First England v Scotland Rugby match in England AND first FA cup final between Wanderers and Royal Engineers of Chatham. Wanderers won 1 - 0.
1880 first England v Australia match (WG Grace-152)
1882 - England lost to Aus (first time ever they lost at home)
Journalist wrote obituary in Sporting times.
“In affectionate remembrance of English cricket which died at The Oval 29th August 1882. The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia
When England played in Australia the Aussies gave us an urn with the ashes of a bail.
Ashes kept in Lords.
Harleyford Road Stretcher Railings
ARP - Air Raid Precautions.
Stretchers made to carry people injured in blitz
600 000 stretcher made out of metal for easy sterilisation in event of gas attack.
Stretcher Railing Society
Spring Gardens
Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens - Opened in 1661
One of London’s finest entertainment venues
Samuel Pepys and Samuel Johnson came here to see fireworks displays, illuminated fountains and concerts.
19th century famous for Balloon ascents
1836 Monck Mason, Charles Green and Robert Holland took off and landed in Germany the next day!
Gardens were so famous - it’s the reason for Russian word for railway.
Russia’s first railways went from St Petersburg to their pleasure gardens at Pavlovsk which were called Vokzal in recognition of these ones in London.
So going to Vokzal became associated with the first ever railways station and they started using the word to refer to any railway station!
Closed in 1859 because - you guessed it- because a haunt for prostitutes.
Vauxhall City Farm also has pigs, geese, chickens and horses.
Opposite is the M.I.6 building as seen in James Bond film SPECTRE where it gets blown up. It is bullet and bomb proof.

TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
416-962-2623 / 1-866-760-2623
immigroup.com
TOP 10 DON’TS WHEN CROSSING THE US AND CANADA BORDER
1. SHUT UP! PART 1.DON’T TRY TO BE FUNNY.
Border guards are not your friends, and it’s highly unlikely that they moonlight as talent scouts for comedy clubs. This is the wrong moment to make a buddy or tell jokes. Stay respectful and succinct and save the complaints for the drive away from the checkpoint.
2. SHUT UP! PART 2. DON’T DISCLOSE MORE THAN YOU’RE ASKED.
Answer all of the guard’s questions, but avoid getting chatty about your plans if you don’t have to. Thinking of catching up on some work on your laptop a little during your vacation, for example? Don’t mention that. There is no such thing as an American working holiday visa, although there are plenty of options for working holidays in Canada, or for Canadians travelling to other parts of the world. If you’re going to the U.S, however, best to say that your laptop is just for fantasy sports and YouTube. Planning a trip to propose to your girlfriend? Congratulations. But...
3. EVEN YOUR SEX LIFE MATTERS.DON’T MENTION THAT YOU’RE PLANNING TO MARRY A CITIZEN OR RESIDENT OF ANOTHER COUNTRY WHEN YOU’RE ENTERING IT.
Even if you’re in the middle of the appropriate application process, talking about your romantic attachments will not warm the hearts of the border guards and it will get you flagged as a potential risk for illegal immigration. This goes for crossing the US and Canadian border in either direction. Say that you’re visiting “a friend” and save the flaunting of your ring for the day when you’re married or your citizenship and residency information is fully settled.
4. DEVELOP A “CREATIVE VOCABULARY.”DON’T BE IN A RUSH TO EXPLAIN EVERY DETAIL ABOUT THE GOODS YOU’RE BRINGING WITH YOU, BUT KNOW THE RISKS OF INCOMPLETE DISCLOSURE
It can be mighty tempting to try to bring a few extra items back from your trip without declaring them. You can push the limits of the personal exemption (see above for the exact amounts), or you can declare the extras and pay the duties. If you’re pushing it, try to describe dollar values using words like “approximately,” “about,” or “around” if you’re just above the personal exemption limits. Remove the tags, and ditch the shopping bags and receipts. If you are searched and the agents find something that you haven’t declared, it’s most likely that you’ll be delayed and that you’ll have to pay the duty. Hey, people forget the things they buy all the time, right? Mistakes can happen. If you push it too far, however, and you get caught making a false declaration crossing to Canada, you might also have your goods seized or you might have to pay a penalty that’s an extra 25-80% of the goods’ value. The worst case scenario is that you’ll lose the goods permanently and have your vehicle impounded. You’ll also almost certainly find yourself subject to more intense scrutiny at future crossings. Getting caught with small amounts over the limit shouldn’t have lasting repercussions, unless you’re busted repeatedly. Now you know the risks. Govern yourself accordingly. Bonus tip: Never try to conceal anything you just bought at the duty-free shop. They take your name and license plate number and their database is coordinated with the border guards on each side, so lying in this case makes for a guaranteed delay. Don’t do it.
5. A CRIMINAL MIND, IT’S ALL I’VE EVER KNOWN.DON’T LIE ABOUT YOUR CRIMINAL PAST.
If you have run into legal trouble, check to see if it’s serious enough to prevent you from travelling. Each country has its own regulations on this, and most countries reserve the right to deny anyone the right to entry for any reason. If you are denied entry crossing from Canada to US, consider applying for a US Entry Waiver. If you are worried you can’t enter Canada from the US, consider getting a temporary resident permit. The process rules and process for both the US Entry Waiver and the TRP can be complicated and difficult, so you can always seek help.
