The month of October is synonymous with Halloween. Thus, it seems right to share a list of the most haunted places in France to prepare your next vacation.<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Le Ch\u00e2teau de Fougeret<\/strong><\/p>\n City of Queaux, Vienne<\/strong><\/span>. A majestic building, has been classified as haunted since the 14th century when the Hundred Year War<\/span><\/strong> began.<\/p>\n The Fougeret castle<\/span><\/strong> is one of the favorite places of people loving thrills and the paranormal. It even made the news. People have claimed to see threatening apparitions<\/span><\/strong> and hear voices screaming at visitors to go away. The castles ghosts seem to wish to be left alone.<\/p>\n Bonus: People say that a man had been touched by ghosts while he was cutting trees in the castle\u2019s park.<\/span><\/p>\n 2. The apartment Square La Bruy\u00e8re (Paris 9)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n City of Paris, in a HLM housing<\/span><\/strong>. Several awful tragedies gave this place the reputation of being doomed<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n First incident: Most likely the worst of all, the tenant had been cut in to pieces with a saw<\/span><\/strong>, then carefully placed in a suitcase found in the Gare de Lyon<\/span><\/strong>. The next tenant, an antiques dealer, committed suicide. The third one died due to unexplained circumstances<\/em><\/span>. And the last one\u2026 threw herself through the window after writing the following note: \u201cThe thing pushed me to die<\/em>.<\/span>\u201d Weirdly enough, the apartment has remained uninhabited since then.<\/p>\n 3. The house of the ghost of Cramant.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n City of Cramant, in the Marne<\/strong><\/span>. The house is seemingly pretty normal, but has been left abandoned for a long time. A couple, the Meslats, decided to move in to the house in 1967. Soon after, they started hearing footsteps<\/span><\/strong> on the second floor and muffled screams. Noises as a wooded leg on the stairs resonated every night. Unfortunately, it didn\u2019t stop there, the ghost started to attack them<\/span><\/strong> and violently knock them out against the walls. After a hospitalization, the couple left the house forever.<\/p>\n People say that the house was haunted by a British sailor<\/span> <\/strong>whom, at the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century, was assassinated and thrown in the well. A little bit like in the movie The Ring<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n 4. The White Lady of Palavas-les-Flots<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n White Ladies<\/span><\/strong> are one the most famous paranormal phenomenons. Dozens of cases in France and abroad, and each time, the same scenario. One story is however a bit more renowned than the others: One night of 1981, a mysterious female hitchhiker<\/span><\/strong> got in the car of many sober young people (Police investigation confirmed it) in Palavas-les-Flots<\/span><\/strong>. Her description: Dressed in white, in her fifties, and unwilling to speak. Sitting in back, she would always disappeared after screaming: \u201cMind the turn, mind the turn<\/em><\/span>\u201d, while the car was driving. If you take this road between the sea resort and Montpelier<\/span><\/strong>, be ready to welcome the While Lady on board!<\/p>\n 5. The Castle of Brissac<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The tallest castle in France<\/span><\/strong>, Pays de la Loire<\/strong><\/span>, has been turned into a private mansion. This wonderful building, besides being beautiful, is the place of residence of another White Lady<\/strong><\/span>. She would be the ghost of Charlotte, wife of Jacques Br\u00e9z\u00e9, former owner of the castle. The story tells us that she was pierced by her husband\u2019s sword<\/span> <\/strong>for falling in love with another man. The young woman refused to follow the light and enjoys night walking though the corridors<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bonus: If you are lucky, it would even be possible to hear dreadful screams<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n 6. The bleeding house<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the most famous story in France, covered by the news.<\/p>\n Remicourt neighborhood, St Quentin in the Aisne<\/span><\/strong>. A family moves in to an ordinary house, then they start to hear pans clanging and groaning coming from the first floor, but think at first it could be the neighbors. But when the walls start to bleed<\/span><\/strong>, it starts to raise a lot more questions. Thinking first about paint, they ask for an analysis of the liquid. Confirmed result, it is human blood<\/strong><\/span> running down their walls. To rule out the hypothesis of a bad joke, the family and the investigators leave the house after putting flour everywhere on the floor. When they come back and blood is everywhere<\/span><\/strong>. It doesn\u2019t stop flowing anymore. Finally, the decision is taken, the house will be destroyed. Under it, we discover the the graves of about fifty German soldiers<\/span><\/strong> from the First World War. Since being rebuilt, the original house was never spoken about again. This story makes us think about the infamous house of \u201cThe Amityville Horror<\/span>\u201d.<\/p>\n 7. The Man in red of the Tuileries<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Palace of the Tuileries, Paris<\/strong><\/span>. Few tourists or Parisians know that a ghost would haunt the place. This spirit would be the origin of one of the most famous Parisian legends. The story tells us that a butcher<\/span> <\/strong> had his throat cut by order of Catherine of Medici<\/span><\/strong>, because he knew some of the biggest secrets of the Crown. He would have also announced the place where the Queen will die<\/span><\/strong>. Known as the Man in red of the Tuileries, this ghost would appear to announce that a tragedy is coming<\/span><\/strong>. It is said he appeared to Marie-Antoinette and to Napoleon 1st <\/sup>and could be seen at a Palace\u2019s window during the fire of May, 23rd<\/sup> 1971.<\/p>\n 8. The manor of Ste-Genevi\u00e8ve des Brumes<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Bouchevilliers, Normandy<\/span><\/strong>. A spooky building in the mist could be one of the most haunted in the Hexagon. No owner stays long between those walls. Why? Scary noises, freezing breath, apparitions of a ghost coffin<\/span><\/strong> in the corridors among other paranormal occurrences. But that\u2019s not all, the specters of three monks<\/span><\/strong> would appear by the Epte River, a disturbing woman with a pale face would sometimes show herself to visitors. Between dark magic and story of the\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Templar<\/b><\/span>, the manor fascinates as much as it frightens.<\/p>\n 9. Castle of Blandy-les-Tours<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Blandy-les-Tours, Seine et Marne<\/strong><\/span>. Here is the most haunted place in France<\/strong><\/span>. Why does it have this gruesome reputation? An amazing number of ghosts. For All Soul\u2019s day, there would be dozens whirling around the medieval ramparts<\/span><\/strong>, along with the traditional iron chain noises<\/span><\/strong> (a classic) and screaming coming from the underground. The specter of a Lord from the 10th<\/sup> Century<\/span><\/strong>, awful murderer, would walked through the rooms of the castle\u2026 in a bloody suit<\/span><\/strong> and armed with a knife. Yes, that\u2019s all.<\/p>\n 10. Castle of Bonaguil<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Bonaguil, Lot-et-Garonne<\/span><\/strong>. Film set of the cult movie \u201cLe Vieux Fusil\u201d (The Old Gun a.k.a. Vengeance One by One) by Robert Enrico. The Castle of Bonaguil is highly praised by the tourists for its amazing medieval architecture<\/span><\/strong>. But for others, its ghosts are the main reason for its fame. Another White Lady for example, but not only, we also hear about a hidden gate open to Hell<\/span><\/strong> somewhere on this property.<\/p>\n The RIP team (Paranormal Investigators) investigated, and reported troubling facts: pressure on the shoulder, a burning feeling, howling in the wind, temperature drops, lots of unexplained noises… Plenty of phenomenon that made of this place one the most haunted places in France.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n For the brave who are still with us, we wish you good night and mostly, a H<\/span>a<\/span>p<\/span>p<\/span>y<\/span> H<\/span>a<\/span>l<\/span>l<\/span>o<\/span>w<\/span>e<\/span>e<\/span>n<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The month of October is synonymous with Halloween.
