WORLD OF GHOST

Coiba Island Prison was set up by the Panamanian government just offshore in 1919 for the country’s “worst of the worst”. It loosely compares to Alcatraz, in that it’s an isolated island off the coast in shark-infested waters and heavy current activity. Just getting there is a challenge, as you cannot simply dock and go ashore. […]

Crown Hill Cemetery originally came into being in 1863 after another nearby Greenlawn Cemetery became rundown and overcrowded during the Civil War. The previous burial grounds were running out of space and needed to relocate to somewhere better suited for the massive amounts of interments there. Military casualties were increasing, thanks to the fighting going

Rock of Gibraltar sits between the southern coast of Spain and the northern tip of Africa that rises nearly 1,400 feet above the Mediterranean Sea. This limestone cliff was formed over 200 million years ago during the Jurassic era by tectonic plates between multiple continents that collided approximately 55 million years ago. Originally called Pillars

Eller Cemetery was first established in the 1800s as a small community graveyard for deceased locals to rest. Situated in the town of Fishers, Indiana, the grounds are actually enveloped by a residential neighborhood and made more inconspicuous by the surrounding dense and muddy forestry. Originally called West Liberty Cemetery, a church once sat adjacent

Belgrave Hall was originally built to be just another private home for the family of one-time British merchant Edmund Cradock. Taking roughly 4 years to complete, the mansion finally opened in 1713 near Leicester, England. However, the Queen Anne-style brick structure ended up seeing more tragedy than happiness. Both the builder and his wife passed

Hannah House was built in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana in 1858 by a prestigious gold prospector named Alexander Hannah. Having been raised nearby, he wanted to construct a lavish mansion to live in after returning from California in search for riches. His home was designed as a 24-room brick structure just outside the downtown

Kolmanskop was established in the African nation of Namibia in 1908 by railway workman Zacharias Lewala after discovering a wealth of diamonds while the man was working the land. This led to a feverish rush by those in the know in an effort to get rich quick. At that point in time, the country was under

Emily’s Bridge (properly named “Historic Gold Brook Bridge”) is a wood carved structure in Stowe, Vermont since 1844. It was built by local craftsman John W. Smith to make transport of farming and agricultural equipment more manageable in the highly rural small-town area. Spanning roughly 50 feet in length and just 17 feet wide, the bridge is maintained by a single-lane Howe truss wooden system, as that was standard practice back in the 19th century for carpenters to construct much easier and more standardized. At first, during less populated times, local horse-drawn carriages and buggies used the road to get from one area to another for all aspects of daily life and work, including as a trade route. However, this registered historic site also is most infamous for a mysterious incident in the mid-1800s. According to local lore, a young woman named Emily arrived onsite to rendezvous on plans with her fiancée to elope. However, her beau never showed up. Now feeling a massive rush of grief and dread, Emily ended up hanging herself from the rafters within the structure. This story first came out in the 1960s or 1970s, but still technically unconfirmed as to whether or not it’s the truth. No physical records of any such lady named Emily there exist to this day. Skeptics say that it’s nothing more than a creepy tale to tell in front of a campfire. Regardless, those who drive or pass by frequently experience the spirit of a vengeful female entity who clearly doesn’t want company and does whatever necessary to shoo everyone away. When people stop or park their vehicles nearby, they return to find strange claw marks imprinted on the outside and/or windows. It has become a popular tourist attraction in an otherwise rural farming community.

Sachs Bridge has spanned Marsh Creek in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania since the mid-1850s after being built by local David Stoner. Taking just a couple of years to construct, its name came from a family who later owned the surrounding territory. Having spent $1,544 for its creation, the 100-foot-long wooden lattice structure became a significant strategic advantage

Humberstone is an abandoned village that sits idle in the remote regions of the vast Atacama Desert in Chile that still exists as both a literal ghost town and a link to the past. Originally established in 1872 as a saltpeter mining camp called La Palma, it was later christened with its current name in honor
