Ghostly Inhabitants of Sweden
Most Haunted Place In the northwestern Jämtland region, you'll find a tiny village called Borgvattnet. What would you say if there might possibly be more ghosts residing here per capita than people? That is if the rumors about the ghostly happenings at the vicarage are true and it really is the most haunted spot in the country. Mysterious sightings began in 1927 and have continued through the years. At the vicarage people have heard footsteps and seen no one, people have been knocked out of rocking chairs, and furniture has been moved about.

My Top Three Ghost Hunting Bucket List Locations
Here we are again! For this final installation of my ghost hunting bucket list, I chose three of the locations that may not have the most terrifying and undeniable haunts, but instead have the most intriguing and challenging. I’m inclined to believe that not everywhere needs a tragic backstory to be haunted by its past, even though tragedy has a way of seeping into the walls more than positivity. These locations open my eyes to the many facets of haunted locations, reminding me that not everything is quite as it seems

Top 5 Most Haunted Places In America
1) The Myrtles Plantation: St. Francisville, Louisiana Built in 1796 by General David Bradford, this beautiful Antebellum plantation has a rich and violent history. The most popular (and ghostly) legend that I have heard about this location is the legend of Chloe. Chloe was a slave girl who ended up accidentally killing her master's children and wife. How does one ''accidentally'' kill several people? Oleander. Oleander is one of the most toxic plants in the world. The story is that Chloe desperately wanted to impress her master, so she decided to bake a cake. She laced the cake with the deadly oleander plant. Her plan was to just make them sick and then nurse them back to health, but things didn't quite go according to plan. All of the children and the master's wife ended up dying from oleander poisoning. When the master found out what had happened (it is rumored that other slaves who knew of her plan actually told him the truth), he hung Chloe on the property. Other than the spirit of Chloe, there are plenty of other spirits who are rumored to haunt The Myrtles Plantation. The Woodruff family owned the plantation during the early 1800's. Two of the Woodruff's three children ended up succumbing to Yellow Fever and passed away in the house. Their ghosts are said to wander the property and it is said that they're playful spirits. Other spirits include a murdered voodoo priestess and the spirit of Mr. Winter, a former owner who was shot on the front porch and ended up passing away on the seventeenth step of the inside stairwell. The plantation is also rumored to be built over Native American burial ground (and as we all know, building anything over sacred ground is a huge no-no). The Myrtles Plantation is currently a bed and breakfast (that's right, you can actually sleep here) and is also available for tours.

Back then it was extragivant, a modern wonder, with steam heat and electricity, hundreds flocked to be part of history. Rich and poor enjoyed the ammenties provided. Some say the owners and guests have come back even after death. Over time guests have reported strange encounters, some feel as if they are being watched or followed into their rooms and down hallways when there is no one else around. Some say that the origonal owners still reside there.

House of Horrors
She was pregnant with her first child; he was a successful bonds tradesman on Wall Street. It was 1989, a successful man with a budding new family needed to find an emblem of his success. It wouldn’t be gold cuff links or a new Rolex watch, this time he would search for a house. A house to accommodate his first-born child and beautiful young bride but also show the world how well he’d done. And he had certainly done well. But he hadn’t heard the rumors, knew nothing of the local lore in Nyack, New York, he was perfectly oblivious and blissfully unaware when he stroked a check for 32,500 on a down payment for the stately mansion overlooking the Hudson. Perhaps he wouldn’t have minded if he knew, perhaps he would have dismissed the stories of poltergeists and hostile ghosts. In fact, it was likely he would, but he sued because he wasn’t given the option to.

STEPHEN KING’S HOUSE
VOCAL DOCUMENT 10-19-2020 HAUNTED IMAGES: STEPHEN KING’S HOUSE Ok, technically this isn’t a haunted image at first glance. However, don’t let that deter you from assuming it is any less creepy. Low and behold fright fanatics, this is home of renowned Horror writer, Stephen King; in Bangor, ME. I truly am a fan of Horror, just ask anybody. Well, anybody close to me. Particularly in this case I have a long lasting infatuation with author Stephen King since I was in High School. For me, he is definitely an inspiration. After I finished High School I wanted to be a writer (still do).

The Master of Horror’s House
It was a gloomy day - the cold, quiet, solemn kind - when my family and I made the long journey to Bangor, Maine. We had spent over 7 hours escaping a tropical storm. Back home in New Jersey, the power was cut, houses were flooded, and the fence in our backyard had been damaged from a fallen tree. But in the northeastern part of the United States, all you could feel was leftover tension.
