5. LawangSewu – Semarang, Indonesia
A colonial-styled building located in Central Java seems to have been terrorizing the surrounding neighbors with its spiritual activity. While its name actually means "Thousand Doors", “Thousands Ghosts” would also seem pretty much suitable. The building used to be a prison, where many executions took place during World War II and after. Headless ghouls seem to be the most common paranormal creature inhabiting the building.
6. The Axe Murder House,Villisca, Iowa, USA
It all started in the creepy evening of June 9, 1912, when six members of the owner’s family and two guests were found slaughtered in the Moore residence. The crime is still unsolved.

Designed by Favrot and Livaudais, inspired by the ancient Roman-Doric architectural style, the building dominates the surrounding city with its colossal beauty. It is also believed to be inhabited by many spirits and locals say they always hear strange noises coming from the building, as if someone is crying there, especially at night.

It seems that the Whaley family members enjoyed their residence so much that they never abandoned it, not even after their death. Numerous televisions and various publications repeatedly reported haunting scenes happening in that place. Violet Whaley committed suicide in this house in 1885 and another man, Yankee Jim, died by hanging on the same murder stage.So disturbing!
9. Sallie House, Atchison, Kansas
A palace of the creeps and definitely one of the most haunted places in the USA.

Sallie seems to be “the imaginary friend” of a member who used to inhabit this place. At the same time, it apparently is one of the ghosts wondering around the house.
10. San Zhi UFO Houses, Taiwan
These buildings somehow resemble Futuro Houses, which can be found in other parts of Taiwan as well. They were intended as a vacation resort, but the idea was soon abandoned, due to numerous car accident deaths and several suicides which took place during construction. They’re described as “ruins of the future” and they seem to be home for many lost souls belonging to the underworld.
