  (#2) Eastern State Penitentiary

  • Place

  Pennsylvania has a long and significant history in the United States - maybe that's why so many haunted sites exist in the Commonwealth. Each Halloween, Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary is open for a "haunted house" visit called "Behind The Wall." However, the fun that surrounds the event doesn't cleanse the brutal history of Eastern State Penitentiary. During the 1800s through the early 1920s, the prison was the prototype for security and punishment. Inmates received punishments with the "Mad Chair" and "Iron Gag." Many visitors have recounted stories of paranormal experiences, and those who study the location have relayed stories of hearing screams and other similar sounds of suffering.

  (#9) Catacombs of Paris

  • Cemetery

  Beneath the streets of Paris exists what has been called an empire of death. In the 17th century, as the cemeteries of Paris were filled, mass graves were created. Only, instead of a traditional mass grave, 13th-century tunnels below Paris were utilized for a more macabre purpose. Six million Parisian bones are found in the skull-lined catacombs, which tourists visit regularly for a few good chills.

  (#6) West Mountain Sanitarium, Scranton, PA

  The former site of an open-air tuberculosis treatment center, West Mountain Sanitarium is known for its ghost sightings and the painful past that surrounds it. The site of the former treatment center is rundown and torched, and weathered patient beds still exist in the dilapidated buildings from a fire that killed many of the residents. Unlike some of the other sites on this list, this location definitely does not have an open season for visitors. Nonetheless, the haunted history tempts many brave visitors who seek an uninhibited paranormal experience.

  (#1) Mary King's Close

  • Tourist attraction

  Mary King's Close was a site of extreme death and suffering during the plague. As a result, the city of Edinburgh closed off the homes and alleyways leading to Mary King's Close. Since then, many have reported seeing ghosts and feeling a paranormal presence when at the site. Visitors to Edinburgh can get a tour of this location by authentically dressed guides who can explain the suffering that occurred at the location and the many haunted stories that have since lingered.

  (#3) Sterling Opera House

  • Place

  Opened on April 2, 1889, Derby's Opera House could fit 1,200 people in its theater. Although it's closed, many people have reported hearing the voices of children and seeing dark images in the theater. The Italianate Victorian architecture that once added to its beauty now adds to its creepiness. The TV show, Ghost Hunters, featured The Sterling Opera House, where the hunters recorded EVPs and voices.
