- The Rose Hall Great House in Jamaica is a landmark Georgian
mansion, high on a hill with sweeping views of the ocean. In the
early 1800s, it was owned by Annie
Palmer, whose four husbands died suspiciously. Additionally,
Annie was a practitioner of voodoo and locals called her the White
Witch. Today, Annie, who was killed in her bed in a slave uprising
in the 1830s, has been seen walking the halls of the Great
House.
- Oahu Ghost Tours claims that Oahu is one of the most haunted
islands in the world with activity equal to Savannah, Georgia or New Orleans. For more than a decade, Oahu
Ghost Tours has operated haunted tours, which include a storyteller
who relates the tales behind the spooky historic locations and
native sites. Guests with cameras may be able to observe
unexplained orbs and events at these sites.
- Known as the most haunted building in England, the Tower of
London was a palace, a prison and
a place of execution. With the ghosts of Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane
Grey, Guy Fawkes, Sir
Walter Raleigh and more, the Tower
is a don't-miss if you like spooky spots.
- While Nassau, Bahamas might be
known for modern hotels and colorful casinos, you can learn all
about its pirate history on the Historic Tour of Nassau City. In the 1700s, Nassau was a famous pirate hideout, and it's
