  1. I’ve been to Alcatraz and was fascinated, but I’m not sure I felt it was haunted. I am a complete cynic though! Have you seen that photo that’s doing the rounds at the mo, of the group of women and there’s an extra hand…spooky! This is a great bucket list – I hope you get to them all ๐Ÿ™‚ Alison x #AnythingGoes

    • In one sense, I’m a bit cynical too – if something is televised, it’s so easy to fake etc. I like to try and find an explanation for hauntings, and then if you can’t it makes it all the more weird! Yes, I’ve seen that photo, it’s definitely spooky! x

  2. I was meant to go to Auscwitz on a school trip but that part got cancelled at the last minute. I was gutted! I would still like to go. I have some weird & warped fascination.
    Great post. I hope you get to go to some of these places some day. #anythinggoes

    Ahh the dolls!! So creepy, there is now way I would go to any of these places! You’re brave for even doing the research haha xx #anythinggoes

  4. The Kitschy Mumma

    Holy shit you’re braver than me! I’d be interested in visiting the Amityville Horror house though just to see if I ‘feel’ anything! #anythinggoes

  5. Mindful Mummy Mission

    You are a braver person than me!! I am such a scaredy cat I couldn’t go to any of these I don’t think (apart from Auschwitz as as a History teacher it is somewhere I need to visit) #AnythingGoes

  6. I say skip Alcatraz and come to New Orleans instead! We have the cities of the dead because we cant bury people in the ground here! Plus we have the history of Voodoo here. Also, not but 2 hours away is the famous Haunted Myrtles Plantation! Its a Haunted Bucketlist Dream!

    Auschwitz and Alcatraz would be so interesting but I’d be sure to get nightmares afterwards as over think way too much!!! Thanks for hosting #bloggerclubuk

  8. So interesting! I’ve heard of some of these before. I’m off to read about the Italian place though, very intrigued. The woods look like they’re from the Blair Witch! Creepy indeed. Adam would love to do something like this. #BloggerClubUK

  9. Well, this looks pretty scary to me! I’m quite a “chicken” when it comes to ghosts, hunted places or even just roumors about it! I’m not sure I would visit any of these locations, but probably my family would love it!:)

    I’m the complete opposite, I hate being scared. Can’t stand horror films or anything! I have been to Alcatraz, it’s well worth a visit if you’re in SF. There’s one cell you can go into and when you shut the door it is pitch black. From memory, this was the cell for solitary confinement. Horrid! #BloggerClubUK

  11. DOn’t expect me to be your PLUS ONE! I’m scared of the dark, never mind voluntarily visiting ghostly settings! I once locked myself in our bathroom with a hammer when I was younger after my sister freaked me out with ghost stories! Really interesting post though…from the safety of my armchair! #BloggerclubUK

    Well that’s me having every single light on in the house for the rest of the night. It creeped me out just looking at the pictures and reading your little bit about the different places. I’ve heard about that doll island though, it looks so creepy! My other half visited Auschwitz and he said it gives you such an uneasy feeling because of everything that went on there. It’s a bloody good post for the start of the Halloween month, and different too! #BloggerClubUK

    I love all your posts Debbie but this was the best so far!! Right…the Catacombs in Paris, yes definitely would love to see that. The Island of the Dolls, Mexico – one of the creepiest photos I have EVER seen and to be avoided at all costs!! #BloggerClubUK

  14. Debbie, my daughter and husband would love this list as they love horror and my daughter especially is a Halloween fanatic. Love the look of the Island of the Dolls and Poveglia. Have visited the Catacombs and ironically we are about to head off to California and our first stop is Alcatraz – will let you know what it is like. #bloggerclubuk

  15. This is SUCH an interesting read! Makes such a refreshing change! I’d love to visit all these places too! Spookarama! I don’t know if i believe in ghosts but I love hearing ghost stories…. they proper freak me out. Have you been on any ghost walks? That’s on my bucket list to do when the kids are older…even if you just get to learn a bit of gruesome history. Great stuff! #BloggerClubUK

  16. I would love to visit Auschwitz, it’s always been on my top places to visit, I’m absolutely fascinated and would love to visit to learn more! #BloggerClubUK

  17. Coo! This makes a change from all the usual parent child stuff mine included. Been meaning to visit Auschwitz for a while as my great grandparents and other relatives were killed there. Don’t think I’d visit the others though but good research! #bloggerclubuk

  18. Hi Debbie, I love watching scary things like Ghost Adventures on the television, but I think my heart would give in if I ever stepped foot inside a haunted place. Saying that I wouldn’t mind visiting Auschwitz and Alcatraz (haven’t read the book yet, but it’s going to be a dark winter’s night read).

    UK has some pretty interesting haunted places that I wouldn’t mind visiting and looking at from the safety of the car!

    Hope you get visit your bucket list.

    xx

  19. This gave me the goose bumps reading this. I love a good horror/ghost movie too, although I’m not too sure if I could ever stay at these places. Thanks for hosting a fab linky. Claire x #BloggerClubUK

  20. I really wanted to visit Alcatraz when we were in San Francisco but we just didn’t have time, we only had an afternoon before an early morning flight home. Auschwitz and the Catacombs in Paris are on my visit list too. That Island of Dolls though is most certainly not, nothing creepier than dolls, I’d never sleep again if I saw one move!! #BloggerClubUK

  21. Silly Mummy

    Creepy! I haven’t been to any of these. I find things like this interesting, but I am easily scared so not sure how much I’d like to actually visit!

  22. An awesome list! I’ve always been fascinated by Alcatraz and would love to visit one day. The creepiest one has to be the dolls though *shudder #bloggerclubuk

    For someone who it afraid of the dark and I still sleep with the light on, I ended up actually being a paranormal investigator. My friend told me as she picked me up that we were going to a new location, somewhere in Stockport, she only got the post code as we were travelling. Earlier that day I kept having flashes of something I couldnโ€™t understand, i saw an really old building, which looked derelict. Inside was what looked like graffiti but in blood, I saw trees inside the building and right at the back of this very large room was a small room which was pitch black, no windows, which made me feel sick and anxious. As we arrived at the location, my stomach began to churn, it looked like my vision, I instantly saw someone peering out one of the top floor windows. I told our friend about the visions Iโ€™d had and the guy who owned the building heard what I was saying and told me to go somewhere with him. As I walked up the concrete stairs, I was in my vision, blood on the walls, we went through the door and it was a huge room with trees inside and I walked right to the back and took him to the room without windows, I couldnโ€™t go inside. This guy who owned the building was freaked out, the building was used as a shooting fasility for Airsoft, which was why there was blood and trees. I could go on about all the other freaky things that happened that night but this little story is long enough lol
