We present you 5 most haunted rooms in the world.
People are always interested to know about the haunted places due to the human psychology to lean towards the strange and mysterious things.
Interestingly, around the world, there are many places with a bloody history and are now said to be haunted.
In this list are the top 5 most haunted rooms in the world.
1- Room One — Vulcan Hotel
The Vulcan Hotel is a New Zealand historical institution.
It was built in the 19th century in Central Otago during the gold mining boom in the area.
Now it is a popular spot for ghost hunters and those interested in the paranormal.
This is because Vulcan Hotel’s Room One has quite a dark history.
It is said to be the home of the spirit Rose, a prostitute who was strangled in the room’s bed in the late 19th century.
There have been reports of flickering lights, cold spots, doors creaking, phantom footsteps, groaning sounds, appliances turning on by themselves, and doors locking.

But the strange thing is, Rose is said to only haunt men. Perhaps due to the gender of her murderer, she now seeks revenge on all men.
Men who stay in Room One have reported waking up in the middle of the night with the feeling of someone pressing down on them and fingers wrapping around their throat.
2- Cell 17 — Old Melbourne Gaol
Old Melbourne Gaol served as a prison for eighty years, where it saw tens of thousands of prisoners jailed and over a hundred executions.
The most haunted cell in this prison is the infamous Cell 17, which has been called the epicenter of the supernatural presence in this place.
There have been reports of people who have entered the cell being overcome with the feeling of someone grabbing their throat and being unable to breathe.
Others have reported the feeling of being stroked, having their clothes pulled and tugged, and being scratched.
One harrowing experience comes from a woman who was curious about the haunted legacy of cell 17, so she shut herself in there by herself during a tour of the prison.

After a while, she turned to leave as nothing paranormal had happened, but when she went to reach for the door, she felt herself being tugged back by the neck.
Looking down, she discovered that her necklace’s chain had been snapped in two.
The prison has a very dark history with people as young as ten being sent there for criminal behavior.
Some prisoners committed suicide within the prison’s walls due to very harsh and poor conditions.
3- Basement — Newton House
Through horror movies, we got to know that the spooky ghost or monster is always lurking in the basement.
And this rings true for the Newton House, often called one of the most haunted houses in Britain.
The servants’ basement is seen as one of the most haunted spots in the house, with numerous reported paranormal sightings.
One ghost, in particular, has been sighted several times, that being Walter the Butler, who used to work in the Newton House.
People report smelling tobacco in the basement, hearing voices, and the lights flickering by themselves.
The house was also the scene of a grizzly murder in the 18th century when Lady Elinor Cavendish, the cousin of the Lady of Newton house, was strangled to death by a rejected lover. She is said to haunt Newton House as well.
A film crew member in the 1980s reported feeling strangled when he went into Lady Elinor Cavendish’s old room.
4- The Gothic Library — Felbrigg Hall
Felbrigg Hall is a stately home built in the 17th century within the beautiful parklands of North Norfolk. But hidden within all that beauty is a rather dark past.
The library is said to be haunted by William Windham, who lived in Felbrigg Hall.
William had a deep passion for books and spent a lot of his time in this beautiful library designed by Thomas Paine, the famous English philosopher.
One night, in 1809, he was riding home to discover that a nearby home of a friend was on fire.
He remembered that his friend had a valuable book collection and rushed to help save the books. But as he was aiding his friend, he fell on his hip, bruising it.
This bruise ended up becoming a tumor, which he ultimately died from when they tried to operate on it—as operations were even riskier back in the day.
His body was buried near Felbrigg Hall at Felbrigg church.
It is reported by some that his ghost can be seen haunting the shadows of the Gothic Library late at night.
Most often, he can be seen standing by the table with his favorite books laid out or by the fireplace.
5- Room 410 — Queen Anne Hotel
One of the most haunted places in San Francisco is the Queen Anne Hotel.
In the late 19th century, it was once a girl’s boarding school and home to a Miss Mary Lake.
Mary was the headmistress of the school. A rumor started that she was having an affair with James Fair, a local senator, a story that persisted even after her death.
Her old office was room 410, and this is said to be the hotspot for hauntings from what many think is Mary Lake’s restless spirit despite her body being buried around 3,000 miles away from the old school.
One guest reported waking up on the floor with bedsheets tucked around them after staying in Room 410.
Other guests have reported hearing someone singing to them as they try to sleep, being tucked into bed, and having their suitcases unpacked.
Mary, it appears, is a rather benevolent and helpful ghost.
