“#The ten most phantasmagoric cities of all the world<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Legends dragged from immemorial times, spontaneous encounters with phenomena difficult to explain, architectures that feed\u00a0the scariest imagination. There are places that for one reason or another manage to put the willies to all those who visit them. And oddly enough, that makes them even more attractive to many people!<\/p>\n

1. Madrid, Spain:\u00a0Ghosts waylay\u00a0all walks of life in the Spanish capital: they app<\/a>ear in museums such as the Centro de Arte Reina Sof\u00eda<\/strong>, whose central building used to be\u00a0a hospital; and even in the Palace of Linares<\/strong>, once shaken\u00a0by the scandal of its\u00a0family. Join one of the many ghost tours that are offered in the city and discover an urban treasure of paranormal dens, only suitable for those who can control their nerves.<\/p>\n

2. Glasgow, Scotland:\u00a0Glasgow is home to the vast Southern Necropolis<\/strong>, the resting place of about a quarter of a million souls and maybe even a vampire with iron teeth that eats children.<\/p>\n

3. Baguio, Philippines:\u00a0Nobody can stay in the now abandoned Diplomat Hotel<\/strong> of Baguio, but who would want to when its supposed\u00a0residents are noisy spirits of nuns and priests who are said to have been beheaded here during World War II? Now the Diplomat Hotel has become a unique\u00a0spot\u00a0that attracts\u00a0ghost hunters and paranormal experts.<\/p>\n

4. Drammen, Norway:\u00a0In the folklore of the area, Nokken<\/strong> is a \u2018shapeshifter\u2019\u00a0attracting prey to a watery death with beautiful music. Along Drammen\u2019s Ypsilon<\/strong> bridge stands a tribute to Nokken: two round sculptures tempt you towards the water in river Harp.<\/p>\n

5. Bahla, Oman:\u00a0This oasis in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula is said to be the home of \u2018djinns\u2019<\/strong> or geniuses, who live in palm groves and empty stone houses in the city center. Legend has it that one of these spirits built a city wall in one night. Locals advise to tread carefully, unless you\u00a0want to bring bad luck.<\/p>\n

6. Town of Zanzibar, Tanzania:\u00a0A legendary being that dominates metamorphosis, called Popobawa<\/strong>, pursues this eastern city of African island and the surrounding countryside. This one-eyed creature is said to resemble a bat. Some believe that it acts like a poltergeist, fooling around\u00a0mischievously, but others report more threatening attacks to families.<\/p>\n

7. Canberra, Australia:\u00a0In the capital of Oceania\u2019s big island you can meet\u00a0the ex\u00a0Prime Minister Ben Chifley<\/strong> at the Kurrajong<\/strong> Hotel. It is a handsome ghots in a gray suit who stays in the hotel room 214, where he suffered a fatal heart attack in 1951, and sometimes goes to\u00a0the Old Parliament House, a popular\u00a0place in Canberra.<\/p>\n

8. San Antonio, Texas:\u00a0Who can forget the Alamo, especially considering the hundreds killed in the bloody 1836 battle for Texas independence? Gardeners and visitors alike swear having met\u00a0the spirits of soldiers led by Jim Bowie<\/strong> and William Travis<\/strong>, who still haunt the old Mexican hacienda.<\/p>\n

9. Salem, Massachusetts:\u00a0In 1692, Massachusetts submitted to\u00a0hysteria: \u2018witches are among us\u2019, shouted the locals. Now Salem embraces the paranormal, probably due to the curse of a victim of the witch trials called\u00a0Giles Corey<\/strong>, which is still blamed for the tragedies in the city. Giles Corey was buried in Old Burying Point Cemetery<\/strong>, and in\u00a0his grave you can read the terrible message: \u2018pressed to death\u2019. Over 20 citizens\u00a0were executed for witchcraft that fateful year.<\/p>\n

10. Sighisoara, Romania:\u00a0The birthplace in Transylvania of the man who inspired Dracula,<\/strong> who has embraced his blood connection with Prince Vlad III<\/strong>. A museum of torture surprises visitors with the horrible tools of \u2018Vlad the Impaler<\/strong>\u2018. Only the bravest dare to come at night to climb\u00a0the long staircase of the Holy Trinity<\/strong>\u00a0church in this medieval city.<\/p>\n
