From sinister abandoned asylums, forests infested with phantoms and folkloric monsters that roam the landscapes, to houses that were once home to homicidal maniacs, museums devoted to the macabre and castles haunted by their harrowing pasts, The Traveller’s Guide to Cursed and Creepy Destinations is an essential companion to any budding paranormal investigator, amateur historian and dark tourist. If you’re not afraid of what might lurk in the shadows you’ll find a bucket list of hair-raising sites that’ll send shivers down your spine. Why not plan a weekend escape to one of our Cold Spots – cities and towns that are a hotbed of supernatural activity with enough spooky sites to keep you occupied (and awake) for days on end? Or perhaps road trip through the USA on the hunt for Bigfoot, take a tour of the UK via its high-spirited (and highly spirited) pubs, or simply book a stay in one of the world’s most haunted hotels… Just don’t hold us responsible for what you discover hiding in the dark!
