The 10 Most Haunted Places in Europe

"Prison sentences at the Akershus Fortress often involved hard physical labor, and it was known for using irons and chains as a way to discipline prisoners. Rumors persist of whispers and scratching heard along the hallways, and guards have reported weird sensations while on duty, like being pushed by someone who wasn't there. Entry is free and in the summer, daily tours are offered in English." - Travel + Leisure Editors
