For shame! Any list that doesn't have Vlad Tepes' castle in Transylvania loses.

/been there
//not really all that exciting
///but still, it's Dracula's castle

They've never been in my closet.

Wallmart

Endorphins produce a natural high? So does weed.

Karl Rove's office

My lap? Ladies?

I've only been to the cemetary in New Orleans from this list but I'd add the London Dungeon.
/seconds Vlad's castle
//haven't been there but one of my friends was so I've seen pics

I'll get this out of the way now as it's my hometown and home state and I'd rather beat you guys to it.

Cleveland, Ohio.

The London Dungeon rocks... but it's hardly scary.

Scariest place in the world?

Roseanne Barr's crotch.

My Uncle Hermans cabin. BAD TOUCH BAD TOUCH!!

Spooky.

Kathy Bates' HOT TUB??

Why is this not a top 100 list? I am disappointed.

Surprised not to see the Sedlec Ossuary on that list.

Have these people ever even been to Salem? It's not spooky in the slightest. It's more of a tourist trap.

So THAT'S what happened to the HA HA Guy!

I made an internet booking to stay at the Devil's Stone Inn down in Devon. I had never been to such a rural part of England before, but the inn looked okay on the 'net; it had some flattering reviews, and the added benefit as being referred to as haunted. It's located in a town where the clergy goes out once a year to flip a stone weighing hundreds of pounds in an effort to keep the devil pinned down for another year.

Drove up: it looked deserted. Went in, and the first thing I saw was the squashed frog I had to step over in the doorway. Next thing I saw was a crescent of what I *think* was horse's hoof (country folk give shoe trimmings to dogs to chew on.)

There was a terminally depressed-looking young woman sitting alone by the window and a small clutch of locals sitting at the bar. There were no signs for the toilets, no menus or boards listing the food, no fire in the massive inglenook, and the only textiles were the curtains. The floors were bare, the seats were wooden, and the place was cold.

A man with a massive dog came in, saying nothing about the squashed frog. The dog threw itself down against my chair-leg and laid there farting in the most noxious way while I finished my one drink.

I left after that, and as i did, I noticed the flattened frog ways pointing *toward* the dooor, like it was in the process of trying to escape when it died.

Believe me, the devil really is in the details.

Nice story Rupert.
Kinda put me in the mood.

Went to the Roman Catacombs and wasn't that spooked. Most of the tombs were and are empty due to the fact that the bodies were either stolen or had just crumbled into nothingness thanks to the passage of time. So, the tour was pretty much looking at holes in the walls with rocks that might have once been bones. The only spooky part was that our tour guide, a monk, told us not to stray. The catacombs were designed to get people lost (to help Christians who knew the way out flee from invading pagan Romans.) and if we strayed we were in all likelyhood "stuck" there for good.

/did I mention the only light was our monk's latern?
//did not want to be stuck down there in the pitch black

hpanic7342, Have these people ever even been to Salem? It's not spooky in the slightest. It's more of a tourist trap.

I was in Salem yesterday afternoon. I went on the annual halloween ride from Boston Harley to Salem with some friends. Talk about a freakshow. Salem was packed with it's usual tourists and then we rolled in adding about 6,000 bikers to the mix.

/Good times.

I love being male.

Edinburgh has two? And they didnt even include the underground city, in the arches of the bridges. Its where the poor lived because they couldnt go anywhere else, body snatchers transported the bodies they stole, devil worshipers met and it has the "most haunted room in Britain" (I tried to take a picture in it- lense flares all over some people think thats an indicator- I dont). It is really eerie. I havent even been on the "ghost tour", just the regular one about life underground and that was bad enough.

No brainer.

The single, scariest place in the whole wide world is my mother-in-law's house on a holiday.

//brrrrrrr...shuddering heeby jeebies//

Buchenwald is pretty spooky....

Any abandoned former mental hospital beats all of those places.

I went to Dachau and would say the same thing

That island does seem strange. I'm looking up info about it now. Apparently currently there is some vineyards being used. It also said it was up for sale not too long ago. I wonder who farms there and what they think of it's past. The hospital and other buildings are still there. Bizarre. Abandoned buildings give me the creeps.

Going to the Kalamazoo, Michigan Mental Hospital (abandoned) this fall. Talk about SCARY.

I agree with Yankees Team Gynecologist. Only go with a small group.

This thread is useless without mention of Raven's Grin Inn.

Tours all year round.

About as spooky as you can get.

badum tish

Paris Hilton's bedroom

scariest place would have to be in a jail cell with bubba

I read somewhere that originally there was no soil on Poveglia --- it was rock. So guess where the soil came from? I wonder if those grapes have a unique flavor....

Winner:

Been to Greyfriar's Cemetery in Edinburgh, even inside the "Black Mausoleum", supposedly the most haunted place in Edinburgh. Didn't see anything, but just knowing there were thousands of bodies buried under our feet was spooky enough.

Also been to Stirling Castle in Scotland, reputed as the most haunted castle in Scotland. Didn't see anything there, either.

Tower of London was not as spooky as I thought it might be, though. Too touristy, I guess.

Hawk Mountian in Eastern Pennsylvania. Some scary stuff happens up there.

The Fragonard Museum in Paris.

This is the guy who used real bodies as the medium for sculptures. The most spectacular piece is a man on a horse, both skinned & their nerves, muscles etc arranged into clothing.

I would have to say the scariest place is in the breakroom when the Phillipinos warm up their nasty ass lunch in the microwave. Dude, it smells so bad. The whole building reeks!

Holdyerhorses- I was on the ghost tour in Edinburgh and it is pretty creepy. Of course our extremely odd tour guide helped out in that aspect... but overall really cool. If you make it back to Edinburgh I recommend the tour. Ours left from the Mercat Cross downtown.
