3. Nesvizh Castle is known not only for its gorgeous architecture and picturesque surroundings but also for its ghost, the mysterious Black Lady. Legend says that the spirit of Barbara Radziwill who was poisoned returned to the castle after her death. Visitors complained about strange creaks and noises and the silhouette of a lady dressed in black appeared in the windows of the castle. However, the ghost is believed to show up to warn about the dangers and troubles to come.

Tours around the palace are available at a daily basis. If you have already been to the palace, you can face more adventures on our quest tours “Secrets and Mysteries of Radziwill Palace” and “The old keeper’s secrets”.

4. Hoia Baciu is called the creepiest forest in the world. It is located in Transylvania, Romania. Visitors often complain about intense feelings of being watched as they travel through the forest.

If you’re looking for a supernatural adventure, then it’s the right destination for you. Just don’t forget before you set off – the place is only haunted if you bring your own ghosts.

5. The 800-year-old castle in Germany Burg Wolfsegg is a great stone monument known for its beauty as much as for its ghost stories. The most famous story relates to the wife of the owner of the castle, Klara von Helfenstein. The marriage was unhappy as her husband was always away fulfilling his military responsibilities and Klara left alone at the castle became bored and lonely and started to look for others to keep her company. When her husband discovered she was in a relationship with another man he killed her. Ever since her murder a ghost of woman dressed in white appeared in the castle, often seen close to Klara’s bedroom. Though the history tells that in reality Klara outlived her husband, many still believe it is her spirit haunting the halls of Wolfsegg castle.

I would choose to spend a night at The Kehoe House. I imagine the old mansion would be silent at first, with only the creaking of the floorboards. As the night deepens, I might hear the faint sounds of children's laughter from the empty hallways, or feel a sudden cold spot in the room. Perhaps the scent of old perfume would drift through the air. It would be a thrilling and spooky experience, constantly wondering if the strange occurrences are real or just my imagination.

Я бы выбрал провести ночь в доме Кехо. Я представляю, что в старом особняке сначала было бы тихо, слышен был бы только скрип половиц. С наступлением ночи я, возможно, услышал бы тихий детский смех из пустых коридоров или почувствовал внезапный холод в комнате. Возможно, в воздухе витал бы аромат старых духов. Это был бы волнующий и жуткий опыт, когда постоянно задаешься вопросом, реальны ли странные происшествия или это просто мое воображение.
