We are talking about Transylvania, a naturalistic area of the country which is home to Bran Castle, the ancient home of Vlad III also known as "Vlad the Impaler". You've probably heard of him because his brutal acts inspired the character of Count Dracula. If you are looking for a scary trip, know that Romania holds some of the scariest, but also fascinating, places in Europe.

Ireland
L 'Irelandit is a country full of legends about supernatural phenomena and horror. It shouldn't be surprising thatthe origins and traditions of Halloween are to be linked precisely to this land because Ireland has so many scary places! Among the creepiest, for truly scary trips, we recommend the Hellfire Club aDublin, a refuge used in the 18th century for satanic rites where even today some visitors witness manifestations of the devil.
For the "ghosts" saga the choice is wide. In Ballygally Castle you may come across the spirit of the owner's wife, sequestered in a tower as punishment after giving birth to a girl instead of a boy. Another haunted place is that ofMalahide Castle, where you will find the ghost of Puk, a dwarf who plays the role of guardian of the tower and laments his misfortunes in love. Furthermore, it is worth taking a tour of the dark Leap Castle known for the "blood chapel", so called because it is the place where a priest was killed by his own brother.
Czech Republic

Scotland
Due to its cold and gloomy climate, Scotland is one of the ideal destinations to set off on a scary trip.

It seems that the ghost of one of those buried, George Mackenzie, also known as “Bluidy MacKenzie” because he was responsible for a series of tortures of the Presbyterian Covenanters, haunts this place. Another inexplicable mystery is that of the Overtoun Estate: since the 1950s, more than 600 dogs have died without reason crossing this bridge. Finally, you can go to the Scottish Highlands to spot the elusive Loch Ness monster, known by the locals as "Nessie".
