List of Reportedly Haunted Locations in The World - Germany

Germany

• Berlin: The Reichstag building has been reported to be haunted by numerous ghosts of famous German political figures.

• Heidelberg: The Hexenturm Witches Tower and the Nazi Amphitheatre are both said to be haunted by various ghosts.

• Lichtenegg Castle: The ghost of a lady in a white dress of death is supposed to be standing in front of the ruins of the entrance at midnight, stepping down into the ditch. She will, usually, sit down on a flat rock covered with moss.

• Rosenheim: The well known Rosenheim Poltergeist, has one of the best known supernatural activities in Germany. In 1967, strange phenomena began to occur in the office of lawyer Sigmund Adam. Telephones would ring with no one at the other end, photocopiers spilt their ink, and desk drawers would open without being touched. A German paper installed equipment to monitor the phones and in 3 month they recorded over 600 calls to the speaking clock – despite the fact that all of the telephones were unplugged. In one 15-minute period, 46 calls were recorded – a rate that seemed impossible given the mechanical dialing system in place. In October 1967, all light bulbs in the building went out with a huge bang. After installing cameras and voice recorders, investigators were able to discover that the events only took place when 19-year-old Annemarie Schneider (a recently employed secretary) was present. It was claimed that a suspended light would swing violently when Ms Schneider walked beneath it, and the lights would flicker whenever she walked in to the office. When Schneider went on holiday the events stopped. Upon her return, the poltergeist activity returned. Schneider was fired and the problems stopped.

• Schloss Nordkirchen:The Nordkirchen Castle was built between 1703 and 1734. There used to be a large water tower in its place in the 1600s. It is surrounded by two water ditches, thus, the castle sits on a square island. Four pavilions are located in each corner. The architecture is a baroque style constructed by Johann Conrad Schlaun. According to the legend, at full moon and certain foggy nights, few people have reports of seeing a luxurious carriage with stallions running through the night.

• Wolfsegg, Bavaria, Wolfsegg Castle: The 14th century castle was supposed to be a sanctuary for travellers . The folklore of this haunting originated from the 1500s. At this time, Klara von Helfenstein and her husband Ulrich von Laaber were living in the castle. Ulrich, the knight, did not stay at Wolfsegg very often at that time, so his wife Klara needed a man in the house to support her for protection, or if problems occurred. Her choice ended up being "Georg Moller" who owned the Hammermuehle in Heitzenhofen. Klara did not only take advantage of Georg's support as protection, but also started an affair with him there closely after hiring him. Georg Moller was also an arch enemy of Klara's husband. Ulrich von Laaber did not waste any time and hired two young farmers to kill his wife immediately. Not much later, Ulrich and his sons also suddenly died. There have been strange noises coming out of the cave area, which have been described as very haunting. There were several expeditions into the cave, where many skeletons were found. Including the cadaver of a big cave bear and many other animal skeletons. People decided, that the noises coming out of the cave were from hunters, who were hiding their prey. Still, people were avoiding the cave area. The strange noise coming out of the cave may have been solved by the findings of the expeditions, but this has not been the case of the haunting, "White Woman" who is still restlessly making her rounds.

• Würzburg: There is supposed to be the ghost a dead nun walking through the halls of Praemonstratenser Abbey. The ghost is supposed to be Maria Renata Von Mossau. She was blamed to be mixing herbs into everybody's food, so she could bewitch them. The nun was taken to execution after only three days her sentencing in court. She was first decapitated, and then burned. To this day, reports of her walking down the hallways and holding on to a bouquet of roses while picking off the petals and leaving a trail. According to legend, this is the sign of death for a holy man originating from Würzburg.
