The Tower of London
The Tower of London is yet another ghostly location where Anne Boleyn, the evil wife of Henry VIII and also the two princes, namely, Edward (12 years old) and Richard (9 years old) were executed along with many other prisoners. In fact, all these individuals had been subjected to inhuman torture before meeting their doom. The headless figure of the ill-fated queen is often seen at her execution site. Even the two princes have been observed clutching each other in sheer intimidation before their tormentors.
Glasgow Necropolis, Scotland
It is quite natural for a cemetery to be haunted particularly if it belongs to the Victorian era, and the Glasgow Necropolis is no exception to this. Moreover, there has been a myth associated with this particular symmetry which involves a vampire with iron teeth. Also, on many occasions, the ghostly figure of a white lady has been witnessed moving across the cemetery. Apart from this, there have been reports of other types of paranormal activities, right here that will surely give you sleepless nights.
British Transport Police Station
This location in the UK has been said to be occupied by a male ghost. In fact, in the year 1977 one person heard a loud door slam in the British Transport Police Station. He discovered some footsteps that led to a toilet and when he followed it, to his dismay, he found none there. Three decades later, almost the same experience was encountered by another person in the same area.
Woodchester Mansion, Gloucestershire
The fourth most haunted locations the UK is arguably Woodchester Mansion. Ii is situated in Gloucestershire, where individuals claim to have been assaulted by ghosts even physically. Although the structure might appear to be complete from outside, you will find many rooms that are not yet complete which are obviously perfect for an unnerving ambiance. Many paranormal activities have been cited here and among those, mention may be made of a spooky horseman as well as a ghost in the basement.
Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
In case you happen to be in this dockyard, don’t be surprised if you find some sailors getting involved in a brawl while having a drink. It has been told that one criminal named Jack the Painter was responsible for an attempt to put this dockyard under fire. He was nabbed and eventually executed. And, his decomposed body was displayed to others as a warning. Even now, one can hear the sound of chains from time to time.
Borley Rectory, Essex
The next haunted location in this list is going to be Borley Rectory in Essex. It was completely destroyed by fire in the year 1939, and since then many paranormal activities had been reported by lots of witnesses. Moreover, these abnormal activities have been confirmed by the paranormal scientists who performed adequate research in this region. Footsteps are heard here after dark and there are also other instances of ghostly activities including; Two headless horsemen along with their carriage, the ghost of a nun and also many other such types of incidents. All these should be enough to assert that Borley Rectory is definitely a spooky place for anyone to visit.
Pluckley, Kent
This is debatably the most haunted village in the UK. Amongst the scariest activities that have been witnessed here, mention may be made of flickering lights in a local church, some frightening screams as well as the appearance of a tree on the highway with a man pinned to it by multiple swords. These are only a few of the hair-raising incidents in this ghostly village. And because of this, it has found the first position in this particular listing.

Ballygally Castle Hotel with its Haunted Rooms - NI
This haunted hotel is possibly one of the most haunted places in the world or at least in UK and it has a very scary story - this part of the hotel is closed to guests staying - but you can visit the tower where the ghost room is and see how the story unfolded. The haunted building has not been touched in the recent upgrades of the hotel - leaving the ghost room as it was.
The haunted hotel is an attraction for ghost hunters and guests have told of ghost screams. The hotel itself is in a beautiful sea side location and it is a fabulous hotel - thankfully the haunted room is slightly separated from the rest of the hotel. You have to go up a round tower to the top and into the tiny rooms and you get a feeling for what it was like to be locked in there. If tempted - do check out this Haunted Hotel in the UK (Ballygally just outside Belfast - Northern Ireland).
For those who might not be well aware of Ballygally Hotel - of the Haunted Hotel as it might be referred to - it is an old castle that has been turned to a hotel and is located in the village of Ballygally in county Antrim, Northern Ireland, and even though it is more known as a hotel, people still visit it - or the tower - in order to check those haunted rooms which are found there and which are separated from the hotel itself.
There are different things that make this castle a different experience - that's of course apart from experiencing the feeling of the ghosts :-) - such as its location; Ballygally Castle overlooks the sea on the Ballygally Bay. The castle is strongly Scots influenced in style featuring corbelled cylindrical tourelles with conical roofs on top. The castle was built with high walls, steep roof, dormer windows and corner turrets; the walls are five feet thick with loopholes for muskets and a water stream used to ran through the outer hall to provide water in the case of siege.
This is one of the different and rare experiences that we have been through while visiting a castle or a hotel, but actually a lot of people agree on the fact that it is one place which they love to visit for the idea of being referred to as haunted and for the fact that the visit paid for it is actually different - not just an old thing to watch and go through.
Since it is now used as a hotel, the Ballygally Castle is one of the oldest 17th century buildings in Northern Ireland that is still used until these days as a residence and is also believed to be one of the best haunted places in Ulster.
The Haunted Castle; a lot of people are asking why it has been given that name. Being considered a haunted place goes back to the ghosts which are believed to be living in the place with the most active of them all is known as Lady Isobel Shaw who used to knock on the doors of the rooms and disappear - yes, it would be scary to be staying at a room like that - this lady was reported to die after throwing herself from the window when her husband locked her in the room and left her starving. Another famous ghost in this castle is called Madame Nixon who used to live in the castle in the 19th century and who could be heard walking around the place in her silk dress.
The question we keep asking ourselves is is it possible that people could think about booking a room in this hotel or castle if they know that it is known as the haunted hotel and is believed to have ghosts living in it? and we never knew whether the answer would end up being a yes or else will be a no.
There are different stories reported about this hotel which are related to guests seeing ghosts or feeling them and running to the lobby in fright and those which are related to finding rooms in a mess after getting them prepared for guests. The most important thing to mention and the one thing we consider the most important is the small room in the corner turret of the castle which is known as the Ghost Room and which is closed and not part of the hotel.
It is interesting to get to this castle - or hotel - and reach the room through this tower to see those pictures and stories written on the wall about the history of the place when it comes to those stories related to the ghosts, but we didn't try to sleep in the hotel to tell you about any other kind of experience there!
There are other different trips we have made to Ballygally before which will be considered close to the Ballygally Hotel - the Haunted Hotel - which include the Ballygally and Ballintoy trip ( We have also visited this hotel before to check one of the doors that appeared in the Game of Thrones movie ( and we also enjoyed the Ballygally Beach which is near the castle (
Are you up to such an experience with some ghosts in it?
