haunted places in the world

Beechwood Lunatic Asylum, Victoria, Australia

Opened in 1867, this asylum was open to literally everyone, from patients admitted by family to those found wandering the streets and the criminally insane.  For well over a century, this institution proved to be the final stop for many people before entering the afterlife, something some of them seem to have taken to heart.  Several different apparitions have been reported here, from the cellars to the uppermost parts of the buildings.  Disembodied screams are often heard, and heavy doors are seen to open and slam shut of their own accord.
