The Forest of the Red Leaves, this place has been reported to the most haunted location of Zedongguo. Sightings of demonic forces and sounds of disembodied voices are heard in the forest. A creature with red eyes and shark teeth was said to lurk in the woods for it's next victim. There is also this haunted house that was used as a hideout for the troops during the Great Leap Forward. Evil faces can still be seen in the windows of the house as tortured souls screaming in agony are heard from inside. The locals calls it the Hell House and no one dares to approach it. Also there's a rumor of a big giant spider that was seen by many people who were going to take a walk in the woods. People would go camping in the woods and claimed that they were stalked by the giant spider and one man even tried to shoot it but it disappeared.

The most haunted place in Bekvam would be Blakeburg. It was named after King Blake the First whom died of malaria in 1870. It is said that King Blake the First walks around terrorizing any visitors who comes near his the tavern, where he stored his treasure of rum in 1870 shortly before his death. :eek:

It happened 90 years ago in WWIII, the war had been raging for 5 years, in an effort to end the war quickly, we totally wiped pyongyang off the face to the Earth. After the war (We won and took over most of Asia, by the way) report started coming in of ghosts in the remains of Pyongyang and, according to legend, the ghosts of the North Korean leaders still haunt the destroyed city to this day. That was just a summary.

Postby Satterthwaite » Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:18 am

The Kassel o den Mült seems to fit the bill: a nine-hundred-year old castle situated in the mountains, built by a mad king before the unification of Satterthwaite. He lived in isolation, but local folklore has him descending upon the villagers below and feasting upon their flesh and blood, sometimes even torturing them for days. When he took and killed a young maiden, her lover killed the king and soon followed his lover into death by killing himself. Their ghosts (and the ghosts of the mad king's victims) are said to haunt the place, filling the air with screams and making the walls and ceilings themselves drip with blood.

Today, it stands abandoned, people too scared to even walk in the pathway leading up to it, for even it is haunted by ghosts who seek to exact the same grisly fate they had suffered to innocent bystanders.

Historians now claim that although there was a king who lived in isolation, nothing could confirm if he was indeed mad or if he really was the reason of those numerous disappearances. Still, it doesn't really give comfort to the villagers down below, who live all their lives under the shadow of that imposing castle.

Factory 13

Postby Yakzistan » Fri Oct 31, 2014 9:56 am

The only most scary looking places in Yakzistan is Tractor Factory 12, which produced tanks motorbikes from military from 1953 to 1992. In 1992, the place was shut down to budget cuts in the military. So the place has been sitting for 22 years and the place is somewhat persevere. Most of equipment was tooken out after it shut down. The place now is being reclaimed by nature.

As the scary part, some worker in 1982 went into the factory's emergency bunker killing himself for an unknown reason. After the factory was closed, people began exploring the ruins and they would start hear loud wailing and screaming in the bunker around 5pm to 1 am occasionally. In 1996, famous independent filmmaker, Antosha Fyodor released her experiment documentary entitled "Factory 12". The film is around 2 and half hours long. It consists of recordings of animals roaming the complex and interior shoots of the factory. Most infamous scene is the "Hooded Man", where scene which originally was a long shot of the catwalk,until a man wearing trenchcoat and hood starts walking on the rusted catwalk. The scene drags on for 18 mintues long! The man acts very strangely, walking in a erratic pattern and pacing back and forth the catwalk occasionlly stopping.After the 18 minute mark, the man walks off the stairs into the shipping yard to never be seen ever again in the film. It remains a mystery to this day.

The most creepy place in Ammerinia is by far Installation 17. Before The Great Cleansing, it was a military research plant, with a questionable man in charge. Few people actually knew what went on in there, but government reports from 2015 say that they were involved in some extremely cruel experiments. Lobotomy, ripping people's brains out and replacing them with computers as well as making them slaves, you name it.

Just before the war, the facility was shut down as soon as the government found that this scientist was going A-WOL. But the day the Facility was supposed to shut down was October 23rd, 2055. That was the exact same day The Great Cleansing occurred. And since all communication was lost with people outside their bomb shelters, nobody up until a few years ago even knows if that facility, or the people inside, survived.

In 2109, some hikers managed to stumble across the facility while strolling through Validia Canyon. The facility entrance was buried under what seemed like a mile of shrubbery and moss. Inside, everything was damaged and overgrown with vines. The hikers also said the felt a really cold breeze coming from the 'Experiment' room. All of the computer screens simply showed the time, which was stuck at 6:66 due to the fact that the facility used Military Time. At around midnight, the hikers reported hearing a man screaming loudly, coming from a room blocked off by rubble. Due to the fact that they were not morons, the hikers turned around and headed out.

The next morning, a group of investigators entered the ruins. After some Quantum De-Encrypting, they managed to recover 14 pre-war audio logs within the facility computers. Most of the audio logs were scrambled to the point that they could only make out a few sounds and words, but one was left completely intact. It was simple titled 'D6'. The audio log began with a man screaming and saying that he wanted to get out. This was followed by some kind of machine noise and the audio cutting out.

Why did nobody else investigate? Well have YOU ever tried to move a 6 ton steel door covered with 40 feet of shrubbery?

First, there is the Tyrannosaurus Graveyard, an immense flat area covered with the bones and rotting corpses of dead Tyrannosauruses located in a remote part of eastern Mesozoica. It is a major gathering point for the local 'Feral' Rexes, and anyone who dares venture there is typically torn apart. Those who survive come back with wounds and there were some reports of female 'Civilized' Tyrannosauruses apparently being subjected to assault by male 'Feral' Tyrannosauruses. Those who have made out alive have also reported hearing eerie roars, the faint stomping of feet, and haunting calls of hatchlings, even when there are no Rexes around.

Secondly there are the Boneyards of Kaelbrun, an ancient place in southern Drakònia where the remains of long-dead Dragons are strewn about as far as the eye could see. It is a haunted place, full of darkness and an evil aura that lingers in the air even after countless centuries as it is said the spirits of Dragons who had died hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago haunt this area. Those brave enough to venture here report the feeling of being burned by fire, hear faint ghostly roars and roars, and experience the eerie feeling of being watched. It is because of this, the Drakonians fear the Boneyards and dare not venture even close to this haunted locale.

Finally, there is Harvey Asylum, a creepy old prison and insane asylum located on an island in Wilford Bay, offshore from the port city of Waterford. Since it opened in 1854, the asylum has been the home of numerous convicted criminals and individuals with all kinds of mental and psychological issues and a place where terrible things were done in the act of curing the individuals of their 'problems'. The institute remains in operation to this day for reasons few in the public can understand though many do believe it may have to do with the notable corruption that goes on in the Waterford metropolitan area. Today, it has been billed as a place where those with common mental disabilities can come to be treated in a normal rehab-style environment though the asylum still houses convicts and insane patients (albeit in a different section of the facility). Even so, there have been many reports of disembodied voices, screaming coming from seemingly nowhere, and sightings of the ghostly forms of convicts and patients from years past. The thick forest of mostly dead trees that surrounds the asylum grounds is little help at all to those unnerved by the facility's appearance and infamous reputation for being a place of horrors past and present.

A battle field outside of the village of Bara. It was one of the major battles fought by the house Dziuba during the unification of the country. The region around Bara was a rebel strong hold, before they were betrayed and over ran. There have been sightings of both soldiers and civilians wondering around the fields as well as ghostly sounds in the area as well.

Most of us don't believe in superstition and monsters but there is a mansion in Anollton which was once the mansion of General William Paddington. It is now abandoned. After an idea to restore the mansion and make it a museum, some people went in there and claimed to have seen something in the mansion. After a few more trials of going in there, every single person noticed something moving inside the mansion and doing tricks on them, like closing the door they were about to enter. It is believed to be the ghost of William Paddington, haunting whoever enters his mansion, because he wants to keep it his.

Of course, there's no proof for this and it's an urban legend.

Xingfu Province Underground Facility No. 32, located somewhere in Xingfu Province.

The facility was built in the late 1980s, during the Cold War. It was built to house and preserve 800 people, although was secretly geared specifically for experimenting with white noise generators that implanted subliminal messages into the minds of its resident population. The Zhouranese People's Army Ground Force was responsible for the experiment,

The true purpose of the Xingfu Province Underground Facility No. 32 was to act as a testing ground for the creation of "super soldiers" by way of "subliminal suggestion." By exposing the residents to white noise that contained hidden subconscious messages, the ZPA Ground Force hoped to create soldiers that could be controlled through a form of hypnosis. This research was then to be used for a project to create super soldiers who would be completely obedient and fight far more ferociously than normal humans. The lead researcher Brigadier General Jiang, a ZPA Ground Force medical officer, doctor and the director of the experiment, was conducting the research as part of "his research."

Although the experiment initially showed great promise, the most promising subject began exhibiting extreme, uncontrollable aggression and tore three people apart before soldiers were forced to subdue him. It took 23 gunshots to finally take him down. A later log on Jiang's terminal shows that he intentionally placed a subliminal message in the resident to trigger a violent outburst, as a measure to see whether the command would be obeyed, how much damage he would do, and how much punishment he would be able to survive before soldiers killed him. He expresses particular delight in the 20+ bullets required to stop the subject, stating that a whole army of soldiers implanted in such a fashion would be unstoppable.

This rage soon manifested in other subjects. One computer terminal contains the diary of one of the inhabitants, known as Jade, who went mad because of the white noise. The diary shows her writing (specifically her spelling and grammar) degenerate, until her final entry, where she begs her friends for help in a sentence that is barely comprehensible.

Attempts by Jiang to contain the situation (such as by programming code words into the subjects' implants in order to stop them) only worked briefly.

More than one-half of the residents eventually became violently unstable and began slaughtering the rest of their fellow residents. A note titled "Feedback Loop" explains that the survivors yet untouched by experiment made one last push for the escape, possibly explaining why the door was left open. The "normal" residents made an attempt to stave off the crazed group, so there are frag mines scattered around the facility.

To avoid the insane residents from escaping, the ZPA Ground Force killed everyone and closed down the facility. A few days later, they abandoned the facility.

To this day, the place is abandoned and derelict. People usually enter the place and walk around, but many have claimed that spirits of the residents still roam the place.

The ruins of Denver. During the last battle of the 2nd Drakon Civil War the city of Denver (along with most of its civilian population) was destroyed. While the Church of Sol Invictus has not officially declared the ruins haunted there have been many ghost sightings and paranormal incidents, this (along with a number of financial reasons) has hindered any efforts to rebuild the city.

The Royal Oakhampton School for Boys was built in 1901, and was granted a Royal Charter in 1910. The school remained open until 1979. The school was the second largest in the nation, housing over 1,000 students. The school's founder and headmaster, Edwin Alexander-Jones, was known as an ambitious man to have started the school when he was only 28. In 1903 the first suicide was reported in the school after a 13 year old boy was found after hanging himself in the school showers. This was the first of many suicides, and from 1910-1920, 4 suicides were reported per year. In 1931 a former student reported to the local news that he, and other boys, were often beaten and in 1912, the year he left the school, at least 10 students wen't missing despite only 4 deaths having been reported. This caused a police investigation into the school, though the police found no evidence of abuse. The following year, 1932, Ciaran Jackson, another former student reported having been sexually abused and raped by teachers, and recalled one occasion where the older students (16-18) were encouraged to rape a student 12 years old. He stated this sexual abuse, coupled with the physical abuse used as punishments at Royal Oakhampton, were the cause for many student's suicides. Similar to the 1931 report, he stated many more students committed suicide than what the school reported. The police launched its second investigation, but like the previous year, no evidence was found.

In 1946, the elderly Dr. Theodore Kay, a former teacher at the school, came forward stating the school only reported the death's of students who's family were still in close contact; the students who had been abandoned were often buried in the forest; but that when he retired in 1934 the school had began to incinerate their bodies. Due to the two previous reports, the police discarded it and no official investigation was launched. In 1951 Edwin Alexander-Jones, the school's founder and headmaster, passed away. By 1950 the school only had 200-300 students enrolled. His successor and grandson, Jacob Alexander-Jones, changed many of the school's policies; including the removal of physical punishment, making it the first private school in Wintanceastre to do so. This attracted many new students, and in 1955 the school had nearly 900 students enrolled once again. No suicides were reported from 1951 until 1966. However, police investigation ruled the suicide as a homicide and launched the first large-scale investigation since 1932. During the investigation, the police uncovered the remains of bodies in the old boiler room, which had been out of use since 1940. The discarded clothing matched that of the 1930's and 1940's, leading the police to shut down the school in 1967. After finding no evidence of further abuse after Jacob Alexander-Jones took over the school, and the confession of another student as being responsible for the homicide in 1966, the school reopened in 1968. However, financially destroyed the school suffered many cuts and in 1974 sold 200 acres of land for the production of real estate. In 1975, the 61 year old Ciaran Jackson returned to the area after hearing of the school selling land for the production of real estate. He informed the police that one of the areas, that would soon be dug up to build new state-houses, was where student's bodies had been buried that Dr. Kay had reported. The police disregarded this report, stating his report was now 43 years old, and Dr. Kay's report was nearly 30 years old. However, in 1976 construction workers reported digging up nearly 60 bodies in the area that Mr. Jackson had reported. The police concluded that the bodies ranged from 8 years old to 18, and the oldest skeleton was dated to around 1905, while the oldest skeleton was from 1928. In 1977 Jacob Alexander-Jones discovered an old log while cleaning out the school's old office with plans to renovate it. In it, it detailed deaths of students, as many as 20 per year, and how they died. In total, 1034 students had died from 1901 until his grandfather's death in 1951, though only 68 where ever reported to the local authorities. Only 60 bodies were recovered, and the remaining bodies are believed to have been incinerated. Local authorities closed the school in 1979, and remained closed until 2012. In 2008 the school was purchased and renovated, and was reopened in 2012 as the Oakhampton School. To date, it is known as the most haunted building in Wintanceastre.
