Cabra Castle, Co. Cavan, Ireland. Dating from 1808, Cabra Castle was originally called Cormey Castle, but was renamed by Col. Joseph Pratt in 1812. The original Cormey Castle dated back to the 18th century. It has had a chequered history, becoming a hotel in 1964, then a private residence and finally back to use as a hotel in 1991.There's a hanging tree, a horse and carriage apparition (and sound!), a crying baby ghost and arguing spirits. It had the honour of being named, in 2010, as the second most haunted hotel in the world by influential travel site Trip advisor. Many guests have experiences of noises, apparitions, rattling doors and the feeling of being watched, but nothing too terrifying has been reported...yet. info courtesy Tina Macks

Volterra known to the ancient Etruscans as Velathri, to the Romans as Volaterrae, is a town and comune in the Tuscany region of Italy The town was a Neolithic settlement and an important Etruscan center (Velathri or Felathri in Etruscan, Velàthre, Βελάθρη in Greek) with an original civilization. The site is believed to have been continuously inhabited as a city since at least the end of the 8th century BC. It became a municipium in the Roman Age. The city was a bishop's residence in the 5th century, and its episcopal power was affirmed during the 12th century. With the decline of the episcopate, Volterra became a place of interest of the Florentines, whose forces conquered Volterra. Florentine rule was not always popular, and opposition occasionally broke into rebellion. These rebellions were put down by Florence. info wiki courtesy Tuscan Muse
