The Most Haunted Cities in the World, Ranked

from The Curious World

A recent study by BC Game evaluated twenty-five global destinations to rank the world's most prominent dark tourism capitals. By analyzing the quantity of local cemeteries, ghost tours, and haunted houses, the index awarded each location a Dark Tourism Score out of one hundred. Bucharest, Romania claimed the top spot due to its extensive selection of supernatural walks and graveyards like Bellu Cemetery. Other notable high-ranking locations include Rome and Venice, which leverage ancient catacombs and Renaissance architecture to attract paranormal enthusiasts. Meanwhile, New Orleans stands out as a leading American destination, building a massive supernatural industry fueled by rich vampire and voodoo folklore.
