Roman Catacombs, Italy<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"top-scariest<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Slither around the dark, dank depths of Rome\u2019s ancient underbelly and one of the scariest places on Halloween during a Roman Catacombs tour<\/a>!\u00a0 Buried for centuries and unearthed in 1578, the Roman Catacombs shed some much needed light onto the history of early Christianity within the Roman Empire. \u00a0Because of their importance, tourists swarm the Roman Catacombs for a better understanding of their significant role in European history.\u00a0 But, around Halloween, you\u2019ll find a substantial increase in the number of ghost hunters, mediums, and paranormal researchers at these sites.\u00a0 You see, nearly every single crypt in the Roman Catacombs has been disturbed and all bones removed.\u00a0 So, you have a fair number of disturbed spirits floating about and wondering why their final resting places have been so disrespected!\u00a0 Proceed at your own risk\u2026<\/p>\n

Edinburgh Vaults, Scotland<\/a><\/h4>\n

Anyone who has taken a Scotland trip will tell you that the Scottish countryside possesses its own brand of spookiness.\u00a0 But, you have to go underground to check out one of Scotland\u2019s scariest places on Halloween.\u00a0 The Edinburgh Vaults first served as subterranean storefronts for local businesses in the late 1700\u2019s. \u00a0However, by the turn of the century, these businesses had all moved away due to chronic flooding.\u00a0 And that\u2019s when Edinburgh\u2019s most unsavory characters moved in.\u00a0 The new residents used the vaults as brothels, gambling houses, and distilleries for decades.\u00a0 Unsurprisingly, this resulted in numerous murders, among other heinous crimes.\u00a0 Before you take an Edinburgh Vaults trip<\/a>, you should know that several encounters with spirits have been recorded there.<\/p>\n

The Island of Dolls, Mexico<\/h4>\n

\"top-scariest<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An island infamous for the drowning death of a young girl will always earn consideration as one of the scariest places on Halloween.\u00a0 But, add in a few hundred rotting baby dolls hanging from trees and you have yourself a nightmare suitable for a Hollywood horror flick!\u00a0 The late Juli\u00e1n Santana Barrera, who owned Mexico City\u2019s Island of the Dolls, once discovered the corpse of a drowned girl on his property.\u00a0 Later, after hearing the wails of the deceased from his secluded cottage on the island, he found a doll by the lakeshore.\u00a0 So, he hung it up in the trees to appease the dead.\u00a0 What started as a respectful gesture soon became an obsession and he ended up hanging hundreds of dolls over the years.\u00a0 Then, one day, Juli\u00e1n died of a heart attack in the exact same spot where he found the girl\u2019s body.\u00a0 Spooky!<\/p>\n

St. Louis Cemetery #1, Louisiana<\/h4>\n

New Orleans\u2019 Spanish moss, wrought iron balconies, and history of Voodoo make the whole city one of the scariest places on Halloween!\u00a0 And, the most frightening place in America’s spookiest city<\/a> is St. Louis Cemetery #1, home of the Voodoo Queen, herself:\u00a0 Marie LaVeau!\u00a0 If you\u2019ve never heard of her, you should know that more people make St. Louis Cemetery #1 trips<\/a> to visit her tomb than trips to Graceland!\u00a0 Locals say that her spirit still roams the cemetery and practices Voodoo for the benefit of her followers.\u00a0 You simply need to draw an \u201cX\u201d on her tomb, turn around 3 times, knock on her tomb, and yell out your wish.\u00a0 If Ms. LaVeau grants your wish, come back, circle your \u201cX\u201d, and leave her an offering.\u00a0 Otherwise, New Orleans\u2019 Voodoo Queen just might hunt you down!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Houska Castle, Czech Republic<\/h4>\n

\"top-scariest<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not Houska Castle itself that makes this popular Czech attraction one of the scariest places on Halloween.\u00a0 Rather, it\u2019s what Houska Castle conceals that will scare the bejesus out of you:\u00a0 The (actual) Gates of Hell!\u00a0 Beneath the floors of this 13th<\/sup> century castle, a bottomless pit of misery and despair leads to Satan\u2019s main offices.\u00a0 Legend has it that prisoners condemned to death could earn a pardon by going into the hole and reporting back.\u00a0 One poor soul took the bait and began screaming as soon as he disappeared into the giant chasm.\u00a0 Allegedly, when he surfaced only moment later, his hair had turned white and his face had aged 30 years!<\/p>\n
