The house has stood ever since—...

The Five Fishermen is a popular spot to grab a delicious meal in downtown Halifax, but the space it calls home wasn’t always a restaurant.

Could some of these poor, unfortunate souls have decided never to leave th...

Nestled on the edge of Loch Lomond, where the mist clings to the mountains and the ancient trees whisper secrets in the wind, lies The Drovers Inn. For over 300 years, this historic inn has been a silent witness to the passage of time, a refuge for weary travellers, and a gathering place for those brave enough to face the spirits that still linger within its stone walls.

The Liberty ship Alkimos is significant for the folklore that surrounds its demise and the popular belief that the ship is haunted and was inherently ill-fated and maybe even cursed!

Corvin Castle is one of the biggest and most impressive castles in Europe. It is located in the city of Hunedoara on the Hungarian-Romanian border. Even though Corvin Castle looks like it’s coming straight from a fairy tale book, its history is quite dark.
