List of reportedly haunted locations

This is a list of reportedly haunted locations throughout the world, that are said to be haunted by ghosts or other supernatural beings, including demons. Reports of haunted locations are part of ghostlore, which is a form of folklore.

Argentina

Cinco Saltos in Río Negro has been reported to have a number of ghosts, most of them reportedly the result of witchcraft. In 2009, an intact corpse of an 8- to 12-year-old girl who had died in the 1930s was found in a cemetery ossuary.

Australia

The Alkimos is the wreck of a former U.S. Navy ship from World War II, that occurred off the coast of Western Australia in 1964.

Andrews Walk (also known as Schneider’s Alley) and the adjoining Michael Perry Botanic Reserve at Stonyfell, South Australia are reputed to be haunted. Andrews Walk was originally the driveway of Clifton Manor, a Gothic stately home formerly owned by Dr. Michael Schneider in the late 1920s. A Lovercraftian urban legend developed that after the deaths of his wife and child, Dr. Schneider went insane. This lead him to conduct horrible medical experiments in an isolated hut located in bushland near the Manor, where the screams of the victims could be heard in the surrounding vicinity. Since then, it has been reported the area is haunted by the ghosts of Schneider and his victims, particularly the tree lined walk. The City of Burnside have now placed a night time curfew on the trail and botanic park, mainly in response to a 2011 YouTube video which drew a number of nocturnal sightseers to the area, causing a major disturbance to the local residents.

Haunting (video game)

Haunting Starring Polterguy is a 1993 video game released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis by Electronic Arts. It took advantage of Sega's Video Game Ratings Council to include various horror themes, including blood and gore. Haunting also includes comedic elements that take form in silly ways of haunting the family in the game, such as Polterguy possessing sofas to form large lips and tongues, or turning every day kitchen cabinets into clear windows to outer space.

In August 2006, GameSpot reported that Electronic Arts would be porting the game to the PlayStation Portable as part of the EA Replay compilation UMD. This compilation was released in the United States on November 7, 2006.

Story

The main protagonist and player character, Polterguy, is a rebellious punk teenager who was killed in an accident involving defective skateboards manufactured by business mogul Vito Sardini and his corporation. Polterguy seeks revenge by haunting Vito's home and tormenting him and his family from beyond the grave by effectively being a Poltergeist.

Mira

Mira (/ˈmaɪrə/, also known as Omicron Ceti, ο Ceti, ο Cet) is a red giant star estimated 200–400 light years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, consisting of the red giant Mira A along with Mira B. Mira A is also an oscillating variable star and was the first non-supernova variable star discovered, with the possible exception of Algol. Mira is the brightest periodic variable in the sky that is not visible to the naked eye for part of its cycle. Its distance is uncertain; pre-Hipparcos estimates centered on 220 light-years; while Hipparcos data from the 2007 reduction suggest a distance of 299 light-years, with a margin of error of 11%.

Observation history

Evidence that the variability of Mira was known in ancient China, Babylon or Greece is at best only circumstantial. What is certain is that the variability of Mira was recorded by the astronomer David Fabricius beginning on August 3, 1596. Observing what he thought was the planet Mercury (later identified as Jupiter), he needed a reference star for comparing positions and picked a previously unremarked third-magnitude star nearby. By August 21, however, it had increased in brightness by one magnitude, then by October had faded from view. Fabricius assumed it was a nova, but then saw it again on February 16, 1609.

Miraí

Miraí is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Minas Gerais. The city belongs to the mesoregion of Zona da Mata and to the microregion of Muriaé.

Main Rivers: Fubá and Muriaé

History

Brejo was its first name. The agriculture sector is pointed as one of the most successful of the region Zona da Mata. The city territory is located in a region of easy access due to the presence of Rio-Bahia highway, also called BR-116. The first village was set up on the margins of the Muriaé River. Around 1840, attracted by land fertility, the first explorers came to Miraí's region. Finding land and good water, they spread the news and eventually other farmers arrived. At 1852, a group of farmers acquired part of the land belonging to the farm named Três Barras, in the place they built a chapel to Santo Antônio and around grew a village called Brejo. Later, the village became the District of Paz, with the name of Santo Antônio do Muriaé, belonging to Freguesia de Santa Rita de Meia Pataca. At 1883, the district was turned into Freguesia de Santo Antônio do Camapuã. The name was changed to Miraí, which means "wet land" in Tupi, by 1895. The municipality was created in 1923, separating itself from Cataguases.
