Are you ready to feel some Halloween vibes in this gorgeous land? If yes, you should check out this blog on 5 haunted places in Germany. Germany is not quite famous for the celebration of Halloween but spooky nights add an extra crisp to the layer of haunted places in the country. It is no less than a Halloween themed party for paranormal activities. However, these haunted places in Germany do not guarantee you that you will be able to witness a ghost or a three-legged spooky dog. But, if you believe in supernatural activities, there are innumerable spots here that the locals keep shunning.
# Berlin’s Citadel
This place has come to be known as a haunted place because of the tragic love story that once resided in Berlin’s Citadel. Almost six centuries ago, Joachim II, a local ruler, had an ex-lover, Anna Sydow. She was a temporary prisoner who was kept locked in the castle. As the ruler was dying, his last wish to his son was to take care of Anna. But, the son, a cold-hearted human, did not keep his father’s words and kept her as a prisoner. Locals believe that Anna still roams the halls at night and yearns to leave the citadel for good.
# Zvíkov Castle
Located in the Czech Republic, Zvíkov Castle in Zvíkovské Podhradí is one of the creepiest places in Germany. It is believed that at the end of the sixteenth century, the castle was strangely haunted by some supernatural entity. Locals say that there are bizarre happenings taking place in the castle. People have heard strange voices, seen unusual pictures and technical faults and felt animals behaving oddly around the castle. Moreover, the spookiest part is when candles and fires blow up anytime. Did you know it is said that if someone sleeps in the main tower, he is likely to die within a year?
# The White Lady In Freihung
This white lady story is kinda similar to the stories your old nan used to tell you. The woman whose spirit is said to haunt Freihung died an unnatural death when she was still in the middle ages of her life. She used to pass down through the old mining tunnels to scare the residents. However, a time came when the residents were scared enough to destroy the tunnels. Nevertheless, even after this, the spooky white lady continued to haunt the locality. The most surprising fact is that she now uses rearview mirrors of cars to haunt people.
# Poveglia, Italy
Located nearbyVeniceinItaly, the small island is considered to be the perfect landing for a spooky destination. Previously, Poveglia was used by refugees to live during the Ottoman instability. Here, they used to treat patients from the land. Did you know Poveglia used to be haunted by a mental hospital since 1922? Additionally, a crazy doctor used to experiment with his medical procedure on patients. A most shocking thing is that he was killed after getting traumatised by the very same spirits.
# Chateau Miranda
Dating back around the mid-1800s, Château Miranda is one of the creepiest castles inEurope? The castle’s story is similar to Poveglia Island. Housing too many ill patients from 1950, the castle has earned its nickname – ‘Chateau de Noisy’. Used to be a very beautiful castle once, it is said that it is now neglected and broken down. On top of these, trespassers have shattered doors and have badly ruined the floors.
