5. Fairy Glen, United Kingdom
Found on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, Fairy Glen has been connected to magical, mythical creatures for centuries. (Fans of the fantasy film Stardust might recognize it.) Oddly, fairies aren’t legendarily linked to this place, locals still think Fairy Glen was born of “otherworldly forces.” Although the topography is credited to an ancient avalanche, some still say they’ve been observed by “unseen creatures” here.
6. Bran Castle, Romania
Travel to Transylvania, to the infamous Bran Castle. This castle is connected to the classic 1897 horror novel known as “Dracula.” Often encircled in an uncanny mist, local legend has it that Vlad the Impaler, the bloodthirsty ruler, was actually imprisoned in the manse’s medieval walls in the 1400s.
