Goldfield Hotel (Nevada)

Catacombs (Paris)
In the 18th century the cemetery grounds in the whole of Paris (especially, the Saints Innocents Cemetery) were so overcrowded that it led to the grounds being used and reused. Bodies were dumped without proper burial and even dumped one on top of the other causing seepage of human discomposing into the ground water and causing pollution. The sanitary conditions became a death trap and so in the year of 1786, it was decided to use the empty tunnels (underground) in the outskirts of the city to shift the bodies. For many years after, the bodies were deposited thus. That is how the catacombs of Paris came to be. Given the nature of these tombs, it comes as almost a cliche that there have been sightings of different apparitions and ghosts felt here. A tourist spot, many tourists have reported of being jabbed and touched by unknown forces. Not the best place to be at night.

The Edinburgh Castle (Scotland)
The castle has been touted as one of the scariest places on Earth and the scariest in Europe. The castle has a bloody history which could have led to it being an alleged haunted place today. Its dungeons have been witness to thousands of deaths. There have been sightings of varied kinds in the castle, including spirits of prisoners, a headless drummer, a ghost dog and other paranormal phenomenons like the feeling of being watched, tugging of the arm, drop in temperatures and the like.

Waverly Hills Sanatorium (Kentucky)
The Waverly Hills sanatorium was purchased as a family home in 1883, but was later bought (early 1900s) and converted into a sanatorium for patients suffering from tuberculosis. But those who came for cure, ended up losing their lives. Thousands dies here and on a daily basis too. It is said that due to the unnatural deaths and suffering, there are a lot of spirits that can be felt here even today. Visitors have felt voices, cold spots and seen ghosts as well. The scariest site they say is that of a child with no eyes. In one of the rooms, if you roll a ball across the floor, the ball is said to roll back on its own. The general feeling of dread and gloom haunt this place.
The description and legends behind these scariest places on Earth is enough to break me up into a sweat and turn my hands cold. I'd never want to venture anywhere near them, I don't know about you.
