#30 Of The Most Haunted Places In The World

29. House of Hofdi, Reykjavik, Iceland

Formerly the French Consulate’s house, this distinctive building was dates back to 1909 and has seen some fairly significant live events, not least a meeting between Gorbachev and Reagan in 1986. These seem to pale by comparison with the fact of more mysterious, less reported incidences – about which theories abound: is the house built above an old Viking burial site, or is it an old caretaker who has taken the responsibility of his role beyond the grave? In any case, the house is notorious for its inhabitants not wanting to get too settled.

30. Pendle Hill, Lancashire, England

Make your way up this rather forbidding looking natural landmark if you fancy encountering the unquiet ghosts of the 12 Pendle Witches who were accused of using their witchcraft to carry out the murders of several people.  Hanged at Lancaster Castle in 1612, and buried on this hill, their infamy lingers in the names of several local brews – refresh your palate with a Broomstick Bitter at the nearby Rising Sun pub after your witchhunt.
