The Black Lady of Nesvizh Castle
Belarus's best-known ghost is Barbara Radziwiłł, the Polish queen who died in 1551 at twenty-nine. The story goes that her husband Sigismund Augustus was so undone by her death that he had her spirit summoned; the rite went wrong, and she has walked the galleries of the family castle at Nesvizh ever since. The castle is real and on the UNESCO list, tours run daily, and the Black Lady is the one exhibit that does not appear in the museum inventory.
The Edinburgh Vaults
The Edinburgh Vaults (commonly known as the South Bridge Vaults) are an extensive subterranean labyrinth comprising approximately 120 stone chambers integrated inside the 19 massive masonry arches of the South Bridge viaduct in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom. Completed in the late 18th century to span the steep Cowgate ravine, the interior chambers were originally engineered as commercial storerooms and workshops. Rapidly rendered unlivable by catastrophic water infiltration, the vaults devolved into notorious subterranean slums, were abandoned and sealed in the mid-19th century, and lay forgotten for over a century. Since their rediscovery in the 1980s, the complex has gained international infamy as one of Europe's most prominent paranormal and dark-tourism hotspots.
