In South Africa



Bloemfontein - Jim Fouché High School - Girl mysteriously disappeared in 1961. In 1967 the remains of a young girl were found underneath a newly built swimming pool. The discovery was followed by a series of strange events, such as: lights flickering, doors opening and closing, a girl heard singing. Her appearances are random and no one can tell when she will strike again. 

Bloemfontein - TibbieVisserlaan 13, Estoire - a Woman watching over the children and sometimes she calls you. There is also a black man and other Hauntings like windows slamming.

Cape Town - Cape Town Castle -This castle is probably world renowned for it's historical purposes. It was a castle build in the 1600's for protection of Cape Town harbor against foreign invaders. Many slaves and traitors were held captive here...and tortured to death. The castle is a museum today and open to the public. Off course it's got quite a few spooks haunting it. The 'hole', a tiny cell with no windows were used to torture the inmates. No sunlight what so ever entered this room/cell. After a time in the 'hole', the inmate would be blindfolded and taken out into the courtyard where the blindfold would be removed and they were forced to look at the sun and were blinded by doing so. That 'hole' screams of terror.

Cape Town - Mine Quarry - Nothing visible, Just heavy feelings and sinister, deep and abusive voices. You really feel overwhelmed at the feeling of not knowing or understanding-Also there is a dense and sickening stench that hangs on you. It is as if the voices, stench and eerie feelings are a couple of feet from you and then and random intervals violently attack. It is a deserted hole in the mountain with a stagnant pool of water in the center-Quite beautiful during the day.

Kempton Park - Avion Park Recreation Centre - A young male in cricket uniform was struck by lightning on the cricket field! He now haunts the adjacent buildings, sometime he plays with the CD player but he mostly wanders around in the corridors.

The Old Presidency - This place is located in South Africa, in the Freestate, in a town called Bloemfontein, we think this place if haunted cause, you get a feeling that someone is watching you.

Simonstown - The Simon's Town Museum, Housed in the old Residency - A Haunted painting - if a picture is taken of the painting it won’t develop. *The punishment cell in the basement of the Museum. This is the cell where punishment was meted out to the slaves and prisoners. Whiplash marks can still be seen on the ceiling. And it is rumored that you can still hear echoes of their cries for help. Many other legends surraund this museum as well as the old town.

Witbank - Celia str 1- First more than 11 years ago a lady died in the house after killing her 3 children and husband. She haunts the place to make sure nobody set her husband and children's souls free
