*'''[[Chase Vault]]''' is a [[burial vault (tomb)|burial vault]] in the cemetery of the [[Christ Church Parish Church]] in [[Oistins]], [[Christ Church Parish, Barbados|Christ Church Parish]], best known for a widespread but unverified legend of "mysterious moving [[coffin]]s". According to the story, each time the heavily sealed vault was opened during the early 19th century for burial of a family member, all of the lead coffins had changed position. The facts of the story are unverified, and skeptics call the tale "historically dubious." The tale appears to have originated from anecdotes told by Thomas H. Orderson, Rector of Christ Church during the 1800s, and subsequently repeated in [[James Edward Alexander]]'s 1833 ''Transatlantic Sketches.''<ref name="Alexander1833">{{Cite book|author=Sir James Edward Alexander|title=Transatlantic sketches, comprising visits to the most interesting scenes in North and South America, and the West Indies|url=https://archive.org/details/transatlanticske01alexrich|year=1833|publisher=R.

*'''[[Zvíkov Castle]]''': Until 1597 there are stories about a Zvíkovský Rarášek (Rarach is a supernatural being common in Slavic folklore, similar to an imp or trickster) which haunts people in the ancient tower, Markomanka. This tower has stones engraved with unknown symbols, and was built during the [[Marcomanni]] rule over [[Bohemia]], in the 1st century BC and 2nd century AD. It was integrated into Zvíkov castle hundreds of years later. Strange events occur here frequently, including weird photos, technical problems, unpredictable behaviour of animals, spontaneous extinguishing of fires, electromagnetic anomalies, and the presence of ghosts. In Czech media it's a popular subject of investigation. Other areas of the castle are also haunted; it is said to be dangerous to sleep in the main tower, as anyone who does supposedly dies within a year. Another monster common in Czech culture, fire hounds are also part of the myths surrounding the castle. It is said that these spectral dogs (in some accounts they are depicted with burning eyes) are guarding a hidden tunnel underneath Zvíkov.<ref>{{cite web |author=Galileo Corporation s.r.o. |url=http://www.hrad-zvikov.eu/points-of-interest/hliza-tower/ |title=Oficiální stránky hradu Zvíkov - Hlíza tower |publisher=Hrad-zvikov.eu |access-date=26 March 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325192456/http://www.hrad-zvikov.eu/points-of-interest/hliza-tower/ |archive-date=25 March 2014  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.castlesandmanorhouses.com/summary.php?Category=Visit&Type=%28All+Properties%29&Country=%28All+Countries%29&Parameter=ByCountry |title=List of (All Properties) to Visit in (All Countries) |publisher=Castlesandmanorhouses.com |access-date=26 March 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.blesk.cz/clanek/celebrity/10200/zvikovsky-rarasek-trapi-filmare.html |title=Zvíkovský rarášek trápí filmaře |date=July 2002 |publisher=Blesk.cz |access-date=26 March 2014 |language=cs}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.tajemnamista.cz/magazin/64-zvikovska-vez-markomanka-dodnes-vyhrozuje-smrti |title=Zvíkovská věž Markomanka: Dodnes vyhrožuje smrtí! |publisher=Tajemná místa |access-date=26 March 2014 |language=cs |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140327234202/http://www.tajemnamista.cz/magazin/64-zvikovska-vez-markomanka-dodnes-vyhrozuje-smrti |archive-date=27 March 2014  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://paranormal.komis-site.eu/zvikov-tajemna-vez-markomanka/ |title=Zvíkov – Tajemná věž Markomanka « Paranormal |publisher=Paranormal.komis-site.eu |date=24 January 2013 |access-date=26 March 2014 |language=cs}}</ref>{{Excessive citations inline|date=October 2021}}

==Cuba==
In 1860 six soldiers disappeared at duty at a watch tower at San Juan at 20°9'6"N 76°53'20"W without a trace after firing some shots. Officer Manolo Herez from [[Manzanillo, Cuba|Manzanillo]] was called for the investigation of these incidents. He guarded together with some sergeants from a nearby forest the tower with a soldier on duty. In the first six nights nothing unusual occurred. On the following night it was spotted, then, when the guard left the tower for a short break, a mysterious dark spot appeared and followed him into the tower. Suddenly a bright light appeared in the tower, which allowed Manolo Herez and his men to see the guard in the tower. Then a bang occurred and the light went off.
The guard of the tower could not be found anymore. There was only one entrance to the tower, and the window in the tower was not wide enough that a man could pass through it.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GeisterNet {{!}} Geister, Gespenster, Spukorte - Wachturm - San Juan |url=https://www.geisternet.com/spukorte/spukorte-sonstige/260-wachturm-san-juan.html |access-date=2025-04-28 |website=www.geisternet.com}}</ref>

*'''[[Montpelier Hill]]''': The Stewards House, or Killakee House, was built around 1765 by the Conolly family as a hunting lodge. The house has a reputation for being haunted. Stories tell of a particularly large ghostly [[black cat]]. The best documented account occurred between 1968 and 1970 when the ''[[Evening Herald]]'' and ''[[Evening Press]]'' newspapers carried a number of reports regarding a Mrs. Margaret O'Brien and her husband Nicholas, a retired [[Garda Síochána|Garda]] [[superintendent (police)|superintendent]], who were converting the house into an arts centre. During the conversion, tradesmen employed on the work site began complaining of ghosts. One night, a friend of the O'Briens, artist Tom McAssey, and two workmen were confronted by a spectral figure and a black cat with glowing red eyes. McAssey painted a portrait of the cat which hung in the house for several years afterwards. Although locals were skeptical of the reports, further apparitions were reported, most notably that of an Indian gentleman, and of two nuns called Blessed Margaret and Holy Mary who had taken part in black masses on Montpelier Hill. There were also reports of incorporeal ringing bells and [[poltergeist]] activity. In 1970, an [[RTÉ]] television crew recorded a documentary about the house. In the documentary, a [[clairvoyant]] called Sheila St. Clair communicated with the spirits of the house through [[automatic writing]]. In 1971, a plumber working in the house discovered a grave with a skeleton of a small figure, most likely that of a child or, perhaps, the body of the dwarf alleged to have been sacrificed by the members of the Hell Fire Club. The house operated as a restaurant in the 1990s before closing in 2001; it is now a private residence.<ref>{{cite book |last=O'Farrell |first=Padraic |title=Irish Ghost Stories |year=2004 |publisher=Gill & Macmillan |location=Dublin |isbn=978-0-7171-3633-9 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Walsh |first=Dave |title=Haunted Dublin |year=2008 |publisher=Nonsuch Publishing |location=Dublin |isbn=978-1-84588-932-6 }}</ref><ref name="Walsh_21">Walsh, p. 21.</ref>
