Ghost stories are part of our society not just the stuff of horror movies. Our history books religious texts and folklore are full of encounters with people from beyond the grave: President Lincoln has been walking the halls of the White House in Washington D.C. for more than a century. The catacombs of Paris contain the skeletal remains of six million bodies and many of their ghosts. For decades Resurrection Mary has been picked up by motorists on Chicago's Archer Avenue only to disappear when they reach Resurrection Cemetery. THE WORLD'S MOST HAUNTED PLACES explores the history folklore and ghostly legends behind some of the world's most fascinating points of interest.
