| Number 5, Catacombs, Paris, France |
When Paris as a city was starting to grow, they needed more room for the settlers
to live in, which meant that they needed to remove the Parisians who would not resist to move, in this case the dead. They removed all dead corpses, millions to be exact and took them and placed them along the dark passageways underneath the city where they lie till this day and have been given the name The Empire of the Dead. The Paris Catacombs attract over a million visitors a year who walk along the skeletons and remains that are left. Many of the visitors and guides who have visited the place have encountered many ghostly inhabitants that still roam and follow the visitors as they walk along the Catacombs. There have been many visitors who can't handle the tour and become very overwhelmed that the tour is cut short. It is also said that if you were to take pictures within the Catacombs they will reveal orbs and ghostly apparitions. There have also been ghost hunters who decided to do EVP recordings and their findings have definitely proven that the Catacombs of Paris, France is one of the scariest, most haunted places in the world.

| Number 4. Coliseum, Rome, Italy |
The Coliseum was where gladiators would fight to the finish for the
entertainment of Ceasar, prisoners and war victims met their death at the jaws of tigers and lions at the Coliseum,, and where the animals were killed when all was said and done, some driven to extinction due to Romes thirst for blood and gore. And in the vaults below the Coliseum is where the gladiators awaited to fight, prisoners waited for their time to die in the most ghastly of ways, and where the Romans placed bets on the days competitions. Which is why it comes to no surprise when visitors and tour guides of today have reported many paranormal experiences. There have been cold spots, some have said they felt someone touch or push them, and heard someone whispering in their ears. The night workers of the Coliseum have reported sword clashing, sound of crying, and noises of animals such as the roars of lions. Some have even seen ghostly figures sitting in the seats of the Coliseum.

| Number 3. Underground Vaults, Edinburgh, Scotland |
Below the streets of Edinburgh remains a dark history which was just discovered
in the mid 1980's. A history that goes back 200 years. The vaults of Edinburgh were used as cellars, workshops and even businesses. But they soon had to abandon the place due to excessive water and moisture, that till this day they remain as it did 200 years ago. Of course like many places that go abandoned the poor and homeless made a home of it. And then came the outbreaks of plagues and other incurable illnesses to which many faced their death in those very same vaults. There is also evidence that many were killed there since the infamous pair Burke and Hare found some of their victims in the Edinburgh vaults selling the cadavers to hospitals. These vaults have proved to be one of the most haunted place for many who have been down there have experienced things which they can't explain and say they will never go back there on their own free will.

| Number 2. Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, Oswiecim, Poland |
The Auschwitz death camps are known to have been in operation from
1940-1945, in which point and time over 2.1-2.5 million people were killed in gas chambers and that itself is just an estimate, no one really knows how many more were really killed. By 1943 Hitler used Auschwitz as a mass murder factory where 4420 could fit in the gas chamber at a time and roughly took 20 minutes to kill all of them. After the murder the bodies were stripped of all valuables and taken to be cremated, which was operated by Jews who were forced to do so. For all who has visited the camp in present times has experienced an overwhelmed by sadness. Visitors have broken down in tears for no apparent reason and many can't finish the tour. It has been said that no birds sing in any of the nearby trees and the silence is beyond deafening. There have been reported cold spots, and in the photographs taken of the camp, have shown apparitions, shadows, light anomalies and orbs.
