Gemini: Saline County Library, Arkansas, USA
As the bibliophile of the zodiac, Gemini belongs to the Saline County Library in Arkansas. The library was housed in the Old Palace Theater from 1967 to 2003, and reports of bizarre experiences abounded: from the sound of footsteps and the tapping of manual typewriters (when they didn't have one) to books falling off the shelves and paperbacks The carousel spin itself is home to many unusual events. This is why I order books online.
Taurus: Dumas Beach, Surat, Gujarat
Taurus is a true romantic; what romantic person doesn't love a walk along the beach? Well, Dumas Beach in Surat, Gujarat might be an exception to this rule. Dumas Beach is known as the "Whispering" Beach and is home to paranormal activity, strange and unexplained whispers, and disappearances of people. Rumor has it that this was once a crematorium and that many souls were bound to this land.
Aries: North Yungas Road, Bolivia
Aries is a bold person who likes to take risks. Travel to Bolivia, rent a car and drive along the North Yungas Road. But be careful, because thousands of people die trying to sail the 40 miles—100 to 300 people die every year, to be precise. The road is rugged, with some steep inclines reaching as high as 2,000 feet. Dust clouds and fog made it difficult to see. The road is dotted with memorials to the victims, and the dense jungle surrounding it adds to its eeriness.
Leo: Princess Theatre, Melbourne, Australia
Leo loves theatre, so be sure to visit the Princess Theater in Melbourne, Australia. Frederick Baker came to Australia in the 1880s to perform opera. In 1888, he performed on the opening night of Faust... and when he made his final exit near the end of the show, he actually died of a heart attack. The other actors, clueless, returned to the stage and took their bows. Here's the creepy part: Everyone saw Beck on stage, even though he was dead. Since then, he has reportedly been spotted in theaters multiple times. In fact, they had a seat reserved for him in the audience at every opening night show.
Libra: The Screaming Forest, Kent, UK
The Screaming Forest in Pluckley, Kent, England, has a chilling history. Witnesses said they heard blood-curdling screams coming from the forest late at night. Its ghost is speculated to be that of a bandit who was captured by the villagers. To pay for his crimes, they allegedly took him into the woods, nailed him to a tree and killed him with a sword. If you dare venture into this area, known as Kent's most haunted woodland, beware of the black fog, which has reportedly chased visitors before.
Virgo: Aokigahara Forest, Japan
Virgo nature lovers can be satisfied in Japan's Aokigahara forest. You may know it by its more popular name: Suicide Forest. As many as 100 people commit suicide here every year, the most common of which is hanging. Due to the high suicide rate, annual searches for corpses began in 1970; in addition, in order to reduce the number of deaths, the Japanese government installed surveillance cameras at the entrance and stepped up patrols. Positive and encouraging signs have been posted along the trail, but many ghost stories still lurk.
Aquarius: Old Changi Hospital, Singapore
Aquarius is passionate about helping others, so it's no surprise that Zodiac takes you to the old Changi Hospital, the most haunted place in Singapore. But be warned: The building has a complicated and frustrating history as a hospital, a prisoner of war camp, and a rumored torture chamber. Witnesses experienced disembodied screams, shadow people, bloody ghosts walking the halls, strange voices, a woman with a black aura, strange hands touching them, and a little boy who just sat and stared.
Sagittarius: Banff Springs Hotel, Alberta, Canada
Sagittarius loves the outdoors, so stay at the Banff Springs hotel in the Rockies, considered the most haunted place in Alberta, Canada. Stories about it being haunted include Room 873, where an entire family is said to have been murdered. The younger daughter's fingerprints were reportedly still left in the room, and witnesses saw their spirits wandering around. In another haunting incident, a young bride was said to have been found dead after falling down the stairs, still wearing her wedding dress. There is also a story about Sam Macauley, who worked as a bellman until his death in 1976. He must have loved his job because he's still there today.
Cancer: Poveglia Island, Italy
Cancer loves being by the water, so head to the Italian island of Poveglia. Poveglia was once home to a psychiatric hospital where horrific experiments were carried out, a quarantine station, and a dump where plague victims were burned and buried - all of which contribute to its tragic history. In fact, it is said that so many people died here during the Black Death that 50% of the soil was made up of human ashes. Today, the island is abandoned and people are prohibited from visiting it. In recent days, construction workers went to the island to repair the former hospital, but they stopped suddenly without any explanation. Rumor has it that the island is too haunted to be a suitable place to visit.
Capricorn: Island of the Dolls, Xochimilco, Mexico
Capricorns appreciate solid craftsmanship; there's no doubt you'll love Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, Mexico. Years ago, Julian Santana Barrera came to a remote forest area and lived the rest of his life like a hermit. It was there that he discovered the body of a young girl, along with her doll. For more than 50 years, he hung the doll from a tree in an attempt to satisfy her restless spirit. Today, his family runs the area as a tourist attraction. Witnesses claim to hear the dolls whispering, and you may even spot them following you with their eyes.
Scorpio: The White House, Washington, D.C., USA
Scorpio is a history buff with a thirst for knowledge. Head to the most popular house in the country: the White House in Washington, D.C. Visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and you might meet the likes of Abigail Adams, Andrew Jackson, and even good-natured Abe Lincoln. FYI, Jackson's bedroom is said to be one of the most haunted rooms in the entire house.
Pisces: Christ Church, Virginia, USA
Pisces has a strong interest in spirituality; Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia is the place to go. This Episcopal church is a registered national landmark and was frequented by the likes of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. The adjacent cemetery is the final resting place of many Union and Confederate soldiers who lost their lives in the bloodshed. Their souls are said to rise from their graves and often appear in tourists' photos.
