Hauntings in Germany

Hauntings In GERMANY
================

- Babenhausen Barracks (Babenhausen, Germany)
  ——————————
 Called Babenhausen Kaserne in german. This former

Nazi barracks is now a museum. The ghosts of German

soldiers, some in World War II era uniforms, have been

reportedly seen by eyewitnesses. Sometimes lights are

said to turn off and on by themselves with no apparent

reason, and voices are heard coming from the basement

area. Footsteps and commands have also been heard

here at night, supposedly without physical cause.
 Legend has it that if a soldier happens to visit the

museum and picks up a telephone, a womans voice is

sometimes heard talking on the other end of the line.

Although her voice can be clearly heard, what she is

saying is unintelligible, in neither the German language

nor English.
 The town was the site of a witch burned at the stake in

the 18th century. It is beleived that her ghost seduced

and killed 5 soldiers in the early 1900’s and maybe more

since then.

- Frankenstein Castle (Muhital, Germany)
  ————————–
  This hilltop castle was built in 1250 by the

Frankenstein family. Since being erected, it has served

as a home, a prison, a banquet hall, a restaurant, and

even a hospital. Today the castle is a very popular

tourist attraction, and many people also believe it to be

haunted by ghosts.
  Every year, the castle plays host to Europe’s largest 

halloween festival. The medieval castle is filled with

people dressed up as ghosts, vampires, witches, and

other monsters. But many people also have reported

seeing ghosts here year round. A US soldier reported

being touched by an unseen hand while he was visiting

the place. Other people report feeling uneasy while

touring the castle, and feeling like someone or

something was watching them. Strange sounds have

also been heard coming from areas of the castle that

were suppose to be unoccupied. Even the TV show

Ghost Hunters International investigated the place.
 

  Although the paranormal activity here is kind of slow

compared to other hauntings, it is still a real cool castle

to check out.  

- Reichenstein Castle (Aachen, Germany)
  ————————-
 This 11th-century castle along the Rhine is shielded on

all sides by mountains.
 According to local legend, Dietrich von Hohenfels and

his nine sons were robber barons who used the castle

as a stronghold. His sons were caught by the authorities

and killed. Hohenfels was captured the very next day.

When he was shown his dead sons’ bodies, his head

either fell off on its own or was cut off by someone or

something. To this day witnesses have reported seeing

a headless ghost inside of Reichenstein Castle.
