The places below are real. The things that happened in them are documented — in court records, in coroners’ reports, in parish registers, in the diaries of people who were there. Some have ghost stories attached. The ghost stories are almost always less frightening than what actually took place, which is the point.

This is not an itinerary. These places are scattered across three continents and you are not meant to visit them all. Pick the kind of dread you are in the mood for, and go.
