The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill.

Within the city limits of one of the world’s biggest metropolises, Mexico City, lies one of the last remnants of the Aztecs.


Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a vast network of canals and tiny artificial islands called chinampas, where locals live and grow crops.


One such chinampa, deep in the heart of Xochimilco, houses a few small huts, outnumbered by thousands of mutilated, decaying dolls.


The aptly named Island of the Dolls, or La Isla de las Muñecas, is home to the world’s largest collection of haunted dolls.


Although, perhaps the only thing truly haunted in this story is the man who lived there, a hermit named Don Julian Santana Barrera, who was allegedly haunted by the spirit of a drowned girl.It wasn’t known as the Island of the Dolls before Don Julian moved there in the 1950s, although it earned its name soon after, when dolls mysteriously started to appear. 


Legend has it that, years before his arrival, a young girl became entangled in the canal’s water lilies and tragically drowned there.


Don Julian claimed to have heard the girl screaming from beyond the grave, "I want my doll." Sure enough, near where her body was supposedly found, he found a doll, which he then hung up on a tree as if to make an offering to the young girl’s spirit.


Don Julian became both obsessed and haunted by her.


Afterwards, he claimed to discover new dolls strung up from trees every time he went outside. They weren’t all completely intact either; some were decapitated and others dismembered.


7.Ancient Ram Inn, Gloucestershire, England:


Built in 1145, the Ancient Ram Inn is a former priest's residence, inn and public house; it is also the oldest building in England's Wotton-Under-Edge. Long before the building's construction, its story begins in the low-lying wetlands near Potter's Pond. This land sits on the intersection of 2 Ley Lines, areas that certain people believe contain significantly high spiritual energy. Using a map, these lines can be traced directly to England's most famous sacred site, Stonehenge. Legend has it that the energy from Stonehenge travels the Ley Lines to feed the property's paranormal power. Additionally, the site is home to a 5,000-year-old Pagan burial ground.


The building first housed masons, slaves and workers who were constructing St. Mary's Church. Located directly across the street from the Ancient Ram Inn, streams on the inn's grounds had to be diverted around the church's site. Many believe the redirecting of water on the Ancient Ram Inn site opened up a portal for dark energy.


One of the most well-known legends surrounding this haunted English house is that of a witch who was burned at the stake. The burning occurred in the 1500s at the height of prosecutions against those who did not practice government-sanctioned Christianity. Many believe this woman's spirit still haunts one of the Ancient Ram Inn's rooms because she took refuge there shortly before she was captured and killed. Today this room is called the "The Witch's Room."

The inmates of Van Diemen's Land's notorious Separate Prison, at Port Arthur, endured a silent, lonely psychological torture.

"It was a prison discipline that operated under the principles of isolation, silence and control," said University of Tasmania phD candidate Honey Dower.


"There's significant evidence that suggests there is a connection between solitary confinement and decreased mental health."
