1. The 100-year-old princess at The Mount Washington Hotel
In addition to museums, castles, and hospitals, hotels are often believed to be places haunted by spirits. The Mount Washington in Carroll, New Hampshire, is one such location.
Particularly, room 314 is said to be the resting place of a princess who passed away over a century ago, yet many claim to still see her ghost lingering there. The reason behind this belief is that the princess was very fond of the bed in that room.
To investigate further, the TAPS paranormal investigation team conducted a study and uncovered remarkable evidence. A recording captured a conversation between the princess's spirit and a member of the team. When asked about her presence, the ghost confirmed her existence in room 314.
2. The haunted Annabelle Doll
Stories of dolls possessed by spirits have been told for years, but in 1970, the chilling tale of the Annabelle doll reintroduced fear into the minds of many.
Previously, a mother bought the Annabelle doll as a gift for her daughter, Donna. However, strange occurrences began to happen shortly after. The doll was seen moving on its own, making eerie noises, and even leaving marks on its victims' faces—yet there were no traces when taken to the hospital.
This gripping tale was recounted by renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
3. The vengeful spirit of the girl in the Da Lat mansion
This story originates from a mansion built in 1914 on Prenn Pass by a Frenchman. Since then, the house has changed owners six times.
Residents nearby recall that the mansion was once a site for indulgent parties involving the French owner and various local men and women. They would often gather for drinking, singing, and revelry.
However, one day, the French owner committed an immoral act against a young woman, causing her to jump from the second floor to her death in despair. Ever since, the mansion has witnessed numerous strange events, including the mysterious death of its next owner and nightmarish screams heard from within, despite no one being present.
Currently, the mansion is leased by a company from Ba Ria Vung Tau, and managed by a man named Manh.
The mansion's eerie atmosphere, with its thick moss and cold air, has deterred many from even stepping inside, for fear of encountering the ghostly presence.
4. The 'Hua Family Ghost' in Vung Tau
The eerie reputation of this famous mansion inspired the 1975 film "The Ghost of the Hua Family," produced by Ly Da Huong Studios.
Located along the main road to Dinh Co (about 1 km from Mo Co) in Long Hai, Vung Tau, this French-style mansion dates back to the 17th century. It was once a private resort owned by a wealthy Chinese businessman named Hui Bon (also known as Uncle Hoa), one of the richest individuals in the Saigon-Cholon area at the time due to his scrap metal trading business.
Legend has it that the mansion, built in a U-shape with 99 doors, contains a room that is said to harbor the restless spirit of Uncle Hoa's young daughter, who died of leprosy. Many unsettling events have been reported around the mansion, leaving locals terrified. Not long ago, a group of construction workers who stayed in the area claimed they woke up outside the mansion, despite having slept in the trees. This and other strange occurrences have attracted curious visitors, though locals remain fearful.
Currently, the mansion is used as the Vung Tau City Art Museum.
5. The photograph of a ghostly figure on the Hoa Tu Lip staircase
If the paranormal evidence from Vietnam hasn't convinced you, the following international incident will surely send a chill down your spine.
In 1966, a British priest named Ralph Hardy Rev captured a photograph of a shadowy figure on the Hoa Tu Lip staircase in the Queen's House at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England.
Experts later examined the photo and confirmed there was no sign of tampering or editing.
This incident further validated a series of strange occurrences at the museum, including the sounds of children's cries and the occasional chanting of prayers at night. Visitors to the museum have also reported being tugged on their clothes or hair during their tours, despite never seeing anyone responsible.
