#30 Of The Most Haunted Places In The World

21. Finnish National Theater, Helsinki, Finland

Established in 1872, and positioned near the city’s railway station, the ghosts of at least three former actors are said to still tread the boards here. One is an unnamed “Grey Lady”, another is Aarne Leppänen, who died in 1937. The third apparition, Urho Somersalmi is well known in the world of Finnish actors: having murdered his wife with an axe with which he’d been presented by his country’s Actors’ Union, he then hanged himself.

22. The Dakota Building, Manhattan, New York City

It’s well known as a dark and forbidding building, with its supporting role in the horror film Rosemary’s Baby – not to mention the fact that Beatles superstar John Lennon lived here and was murdered just outside in 1980. Lennon is said to now haunt Dakota, but while still alive claimed to have had his own paranormal experiences in the building, seeing The Crying Lady. She is believed to be former caretaker Elise Vesley whose son was killed by a truck when playing outside.
