The holidays bring the best and worst out of all of us. The internet is saturated with good tidings and listicles of the best Christmas movies to warm hearts and spread belief in miracles.

Er, that’s what I hear anyway.

Ghostly Inhabitants of Sweden
Most Haunted Place In the northwestern Jämtland region, you'll find a tiny village called Borgvattnet. What would you say if there might possibly be more ghosts residing here per capita than people? That is if the rumors about the ghostly happenings at the vicarage are true and it really is the most haunted spot in the country. Mysterious sightings began in 1927 and have continued through the years. At the vicarage people have heard footsteps and seen no one, people have been knocked out of rocking chairs, and furniture has been moved about.

My Top Three Ghost Hunting Bucket List Locations
Here we are again! For this final installation of my ghost hunting bucket list, I chose three of the locations that may not have the most terrifying and undeniable haunts, but instead have the most intriguing and challenging. I’m inclined to believe that not everywhere needs a tragic backstory to be haunted by its past, even though tragedy has a way of seeping into the walls more than positivity. These locations open my eyes to the many facets of haunted locations, reminding me that not everything is quite as it seems

12 Mysterious Places On Earth Where People Disappear Without Any Trace
The Sargasso Sea Image credit: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service The only "sea" without shores, the Sargasso Sea is a region in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean that is surrounded by ocean currents . These currents deposit marine plants and garbage into the Sargasso Sea, causing it to be full of Sargassum, a genus of dense, brown, invasive seaweed. Because of the seaweed buildup and the isolation created by the currents, the sea remains eerily warm and calm, despite being surrounded by the freezing and choppy waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Top 5 Most Haunted Places In America
1) The Myrtles Plantation: St. Francisville, Louisiana Built in 1796 by General David Bradford, this beautiful Antebellum plantation has a rich and violent history. The most popular (and ghostly) legend that I have heard about this location is the legend of Chloe. Chloe was a slave girl who ended up accidentally killing her master's children and wife. How does one ''accidentally'' kill several people? Oleander. Oleander is one of the most toxic plants in the world. The story is that Chloe desperately wanted to impress her master, so she decided to bake a cake. She laced the cake with the deadly oleander plant. Her plan was to just make them sick and then nurse them back to health, but things didn't quite go according to plan. All of the children and the master's wife ended up dying from oleander poisoning. When the master found out what had happened (it is rumored that other slaves who knew of her plan actually told him the truth), he hung Chloe on the property. Other than the spirit of Chloe, there are plenty of other spirits who are rumored to haunt The Myrtles Plantation. The Woodruff family owned the plantation during the early 1800's. Two of the Woodruff's three children ended up succumbing to Yellow Fever and passed away in the house. Their ghosts are said to wander the property and it is said that they're playful spirits. Other spirits include a murdered voodoo priestess and the spirit of Mr. Winter, a former owner who was shot on the front porch and ended up passing away on the seventeenth step of the inside stairwell. The plantation is also rumored to be built over Native American burial ground (and as we all know, building anything over sacred ground is a huge no-no). The Myrtles Plantation is currently a bed and breakfast (that's right, you can actually sleep here) and is also available for tours.
