This aqueduct built in the 18th century was an engineering marvel for Lisbon. But it also had a darker side when it became the site of murders perpetuated by Portugal’s first serial killer.

Would you stay overnight in an inn that was allegedly haunted? St. Francis Inn has that reputation in St. Augustin, Florida, and has been operating since the 1700s! #haunted #paranormal #ghosts #spirits #history

Does the spirit of a confederate soldier haunt this mid-Florida cemetery that dates back to 1865?

I recently visited Pioneer Village in Osceola County, FL and part of the complex includes the Cadman Estate, which a volunteer shared was the most haunted building on the property. Check more at youtu.be/zsImDsuU9Ds?...

Monsters Unchained (not Unleashed, sorry) at Universal's Epic Universe is by far our favorite attraction at the new park. We were able to capture "Victoria Frankenstein's" introduction of the monster before boarding during a recent visit.

In1920, when Carey Hand opened his funeral home in downtown Orlando, it was the first in Florida to have an on-site crematorium. Today the building is operated by UCF but strange things reportedly happen inside regularly. #history #historicsite #haunted #ghosts #florida #paranormal #spirits

Unlike so many cemeteries I've been in, there are really no reports of hauntings within the Cemiterio dos Prezeres (Prezeres Cemetery) in Lisbon, Portugal. The cemetery was founded after a cholera epidemic in the 1830s and is still a very active cemetery full of family crypts.

Standing atop the Castelo de Sao Jorge in Lisbon, Portugal gives you an incredible view of the city and a tangible connection to the past - 1147 C.E. to be exact!

The St. Augustine Lighthouse sits peacefully on Anastasia Island. It's haunted by multiple spirits, including one simply called "The Man" and young children who perished when the buiding was under construction in the 1870s. #haunted #florida #history #ghosts #spirits #paranormal

The spirit of Catalina, a young Cuban woman, is said to haunt her former home, which is now a seafood restaurant in St. Augustine, FL. She's been spotted on the second floor, walking through walls and hovering near the restroom - did Catalina never leave? #haunted #ghosts #paranormal #history
