Hi
Amityville
Creepy as hell...
I love ya'll for making lists like this for Halloween.
❣️❣️🌹
Whenever I hear references to the Winchester Mystery House, there's always that little part of me that wishes it had been covered in an episode of "Supernatural." I have always wondered if Sam and Dean could be related to William Wirt Winchester.
I've always wondered about that too... I wish they would of covered it on the show.
I live somewhat close (few hours away),
From the Winchester. But I have never been.
Same!!
Fun fact, the actor that plays Sam did a tour of the Winchester Mystery House and he said that everyone during the tour was so nice to him and didn't ask him for pictures. At the end of the tour he announced who he was and offered to take pictures with the staff and the other tour guests. :)
IKR. 😂😂
The Winchester Mystery House was one of the inspirations for Stephen King’s Rose Red.
Underrated horror movie
I live close to there in Washington. I might visit someday.
Ugh. Stephen King wrote the miniseries based on a book. Diary of ellen rembower written by someone else
@@mtimm9023 Ugh. I said NOTHING about The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, & your partially right. Originally Stephen King pitched it to Steven Spielberg as a loose remake of The Haunting, which was based on the novel The Haunting of Hill House until a remake came out in ’99, so King turned it into a miniseries with inspiration from the novel, the Winchester Mystery House, & characters from several of King’s own novels. The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer was apart of ABC’s marketing campaign to make the history of the the fictional Rose Red mansion seem real, similar to what they did with The Blair Witch Project. The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer was actually written by Ridley Pearson, but made to look like it was written by the fictional character Ellen Rimbauer, & edited by the fictional Dr. Joyce Reardon from The Rose Red miniseries. They even created a fake Beaumont University website, where Dr. Joyce Reardon was a professor, to further the claims. King add in the book's foreword that a "best-selling author had found the journal in Maine", so that fans would think he wrote it.
Quite a bit of Rose Red was filmed at Thornewood Castle on American Lake just south of Tacoma Washington. My son was married there and many of the snaps from the wedding have orbs in them. They ate their cake in front of the fireplace that features heavily in the movie. Was a gorgeous location for a summer wedding.
But just a tad creepy.
I watched The Amityville Horror for the first time when I was 12, alone in the house, lights out in the cellar. 3 minutes, 15 seconds into the film comes a loud crash from the dark kitchen upstairs! I kid you not!
🤣🤣
Lizzie Borden house freaks me out especially as Omar gosh went there
The conjuring makes me secard when I watch it I will never go in my kitchen I feel some one watching me my brother ghost
The house I grew up in... I used to always wake up at 3:31am which was weird cause that's the time I was born, but I'd always wake up at that time to use the bathroom and I'd always hear this weird grandfather clock chiming at the same time which is what woke me up. My mom would also hear an old radio playing around the same time but neither were found or kept I'm our home and we could only hear our own sounds in our rooms. We've both gone outside at the time to listen and could never find the source as it died out after leaving our rooms. That house also held a lot of ghosts that's I've seen wandering around as a kid... it was definitely a trip.
For every time I hear about the history of the Villisca Axe Murder House, I can't help but think about this. Even if someone could solve the case today, the killer responsible for the murders at that house would be long since dead as they did take place back in 1912.
Wow revelation
I lived in a haunted house.. was my Grandparent's house.. it was a hotel, and a bordello at different times.. long before my grandparents moved in.. There was a train station across the street.. long since torn down.. I found out, to my dismay, that I can sense spirits.. and that made me a magnet to them.. I experienced all sorts of scary stuff.. I'm now a writer.. thinking about writing about my experiences. There are many.
Id be one who would read that! I have a lifetime of my own experiences.
The story told at the actual Winchester house was the one he mentioned about trying to confuse the ghosts. Not construct the room they died in. It's gorgeous and anyone who has a chance to visit should.
When I heard the story of Winchester I can't help but think it must have been one of The inspirations for Stephen King's made for TV mini-series Rose Red because the whole idea of the house continuing to grow was a major plot point in Rose Red
Participated in an overnight investigation at Villisca.... interesting finds
I love the Winchester Mansion. It’s beautiful. No cold air, whispering voices, things moving etc. I feel bad that Sarah Winchester lost her baby and husband but it’s not due to ghosts or haunting. Likewise the Lizzie Borden house. It’s interesting to visit because of the history but no haunting or frightening feelings when visited.
Did you stay at the Lizzie Borden house? It’s a bed and breakfast
The Borden house is supposedly haunted tho
I agree 💯
I have actually taken a tour of the Winchester Mystery House, and the only time that I felt anything was when the tour got to the bedroom where Sarah Winchester was trapped because of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. When I stepped across the threshold to enter I felt cold all over, my ex-husband even said that my arms felt cold to the touch. Nobody else was affected.
My wife and I toured the house in 2016. To us, it just felt like any old house, but with incredibly interesting stories thoughout.
I went there many years ago that house is haunted. It was a very heavy almost like you could touch the air feeling. I saw some things that didn’t appear to be seen by anyone else. Creepy yo say the least I would go back k to tour it today to see if I caught any of the same feelings.
Wow, that’s weird. I was completely skeptical and appreciative of architecture and rolling my eyes at the spiritualist decor throughout. We got to the bedroom and I could barely breathe, I had to walk out on the catwalk. I didn’t even hear the spiel, so this thread was the first time I heard about the earthquake.
Poor Sarah. Maybe her obsession with building was a kind of PTSD. I am convinced that 90% of the houses erratic architecture features are down to her firing anyone who disagreed with her and contractors being afraid to ask questions.
FYI The Winchester House also inspired Disneyland's Haunted Mansion.
Haunting stuff aside, the true crime element behind some of these houses is scary.
I think the physical trajedies were what's scariest.
How it happened years and years ago, to me if ain't nothing ghostly in the house then I'm not scared cuz a death happened there, with tht logic, u might as well just pass on...every part of this planet has a dead body on it
I live a town over from the amityville house. It was always trick or treating tradition to go there and the family loved seeing all the kids
no idea
There are three others that fit this list: "Grave Secrets" (1992) about Black Hope Cemetery, "The Haunted" (1991) about the Smurl House and "The Uninvited" (1996) about the Johnson-King House. They were all TV movies.
"The Others" is based on a house in St. Louis MO.
Everyone that's lived in the Amityville house since the Lutzes left have said they've never experienced anything supernatural. I'd still feel eerie living in a house where 6 people were murdered, no matter how long ago it happened.
Then you should live on the moon! There probably isn't a piece of land on this planet where at some point in time hasn't seen someone meet a violent death
I lived in a basement apartment where I wasnt told the previous tenant killed himself there until I moved out 5 months later. I moved out because his ghost wouldnt leave me alone.
Love this content! Everyone stay safe out there ❤️💛
When I was about 8 years old, I watched a horror move about a haunted house (don't remember the name) while my mother was doing my grandmother's hair. From the age of 8 to 12yrs old I only slept about 15 minutes.
I saw “The Changeling” a few of times….and I didn’t find it frightening at all. The ball rolling down the stairs is the _jumpiest_ scene and taken together with the rest of the movie only comes out as mildly scary at best; that’s because watching the movie you get this feeling that the protagonist is never in any real danger for he’s already very knowledgeable and skilled (thus ready to deal with anything weird coming at him) right from the start.
I seriously strongly doubt Lorraine Warren ever said anything like that (it’s the most terrifying of her career) about Enfield….simply because the Warren never actually investigated the case; they did visit the house, but stayed there only for a few days and were never really involved in any investigation about the events. Their involment in the case is a urban and online myth - and same goes for the Amityville case, the Warren barely visited the house but were never involved in any investigations about it.
People can say what they want, but I like “Winchester” and love Helen Mirren’s performance in the movie.
My cousin lives 10 minutes away from the Lizzie Borden house. She's been inside of it too
The Smurl Family ‘s House must have been super frightening, to have a demon in the house and the two women and old guy haunting it, and then being followed into a new house . The AmityVille House is also a bad place , to many bad things , needs to be blessed at least once a month
We took a tour of the Winchester house and it was incredibly cool and beautiful! The stories were cool but we never felt or saw anything paranormal. Cool house though.
I've been to the Winchester House. It's beautiful, it's not scary at all. I didn't have any weird feelings or see anything at all.
Same for me with going to Alcatraz. I had heard so much about it and about it being haunted, but when we went there I felt nothing at all. In reality, I guess there were too many people there. They have headphones in different languages so everyone was just wearing headphones and walking around doing their own trip/tour. It was merely we were at a tourist attraction and that was it.
@@TheIndependentLens Wow . Alcatraz has a reputation for being really haunted too.
@@mindyengledow6860 you have to open your mind to that kind of stuff
@@courtneywimberley5250 My mind is always open to things paranormal or whatever! I thought the Winchester House was beautiful...clean and pretty like Disneyland. I just didn't feel anything creepy or any kind of weird vibes. I've never been to Alcatraz so I don't know about that one!
We grew up in a haunted house so that sort of thing we got used to it, 6ft 2in monk walking through the wardrobe every night is weird but not scary, we never bothered him and he never bothered us kids. Now if I had to spend the night in the changeling house, oh hell no!
Every 'Conjuring' movie ranked:
7 - The Nun (2018)
6 - Annabelle (2014)
5 - The Conjuring 3 (2021)
4 - Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
3 - The Conjuring (2013)
2 - Annabelle Creation (2017)
1 - The Conjuring 2 (2016)
The Conjuring 2 is by far the best out the lot of them.
11:06 never wake up at 3:15 in the morning
It’s so crazy to think that I literally used to go twice a week over to that haunted house in the girl on the third floor. My friend at the time her uncle owned the house and we would go over there to hang out and to see the girls that haunted the place.
Wow. I never knew some of these are real life houses. 😳
🤣Sheeeeeeessshhhh
The Winchester house is probably the most scariest one! I wouldn't want to step into that house on Halloween!
Fun fact, they do Halloween tours! And for the rest of the year, they do day tours and night tours and I think they've also added overnight stays. Seriously, if you ever get a chance, go. Even if it's just for a day tour. It's absolutely gorgeous.
I have listened to a few podcasts regarding The Winchester. To me, it sounds odd and kind of cool, not really scary.
would love To see
ThAT
Man. sion of ThE WincHesTer
widow
It's not scary, it's actually beautiful. I've been there and I didn't see anything or feel anything weird. It's just a weird (so many rooms and stairs to nowhere) beautiful house
I've been there. It's a neat place. Very interesting tour.
Happy spooky month !
Would love to visit the Winchester house,but the amytiville house is the spookiest house imo.
I'm starting thinking our library is haunted 😂😂 It has actually a weird acustic and inside you can clearly hear talking and walking from the street outside, but it sounds like someone is running upstairs when you are below, and like someone is walking on the main floor when you are upsatirs. It was formerly a church, so who knows if there is still someone buried under it 🤷♀️😂
Spooky
My dad,brother and I went to the Winchester mystery house a couple years ago and we saw some construction workers on one of the upper rooms and at the end we saw the trailer of the movie
The fact that one of these residences of evil is within driving distance of me. I probably should move...buuuuuut I really like the shopping district, here...
Wow that's kind of cool.
I was born in El Paso where The Night Stalker Richard Ramirez did his killing,Jim Croce was coming there to do a concert when his plane went down.Some of my cousin's has tickets.
Imagine being a ghost and just yeeting Legos at the people your haunting 💀
I needed this today, thank you
@@athenaargyropoulos5988 your last name is greek
Or just poking people for eternity
That would be fun
Imagine being able to spell throw.
There are many that have made an impact:The Winchester House,the Borden Mansion,The Defeo house from Amityville Horror.
You forgot "The Entity"house!! Poor Doris moved in because it was cheaper but she didn't know it was haunted by a evil being.
She was warned by an old lady when she saw Doris moving in too. She told her evil things happened there when she was a child, making this decades earlier. She should have listened. I wish the Warrens had helped her. Im sure they would have closed that portal the demons came through and helped the more neutral ghost move on.
That movie scared me so bad. It’s one of my favorites. I really feel horrible for the lady that went through that haunting. She was a single mom trying her best. She would have to be an incredibly strong person to face that. I have tried to find info on her but I can’t find anything. It was supposed to be based on a true account.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have visited the Winchester Mystery House, and it definitely has a very strange feeling about it
The poltergeist home should be on this list . The first movie was based on true events...... Allegedly
? no idea
I forgot about that movie
Yes the house was really built on a Indian burial ground. They didn't remove the bodies. Loved that movie so I looked into it.
76: In my case, I say The Conjuring is the scariest
The Perron's are at The Farmhouse for the Halloween weekend. They are live streaming the whole weekend.
I cant decide if the hanging lady with bees around her head or the poltergeist that shook the girl in bed is scarier. I wouldnt want to meet either one.
"The Haunting" (1963) does not rate? I'd have put it at #1. Then again, it's black and white, so one wonders if that makes it not count. Shirley Jackson, the author of the book, also based her house on the Borely Rectory. "House on Haunted Hill" (1959) was a reworking of the Jackson book title, "The Haunting of Hill House", which was published to success earlier that same year. It only used a real-life spooky house, Frank Lloyd Wright's Innes House in Los Angeles, as a background.
oh yeah the Haunting (63) has one of my favorite haunted houses. and even though it's not really "haunted" the house that sits on the hill behind the Bates motel in Psycho definitely looks like it should be haunted.
Amityville house has always scared me.
The Changeling is by far one of the scariest movies I've ever seen
#1 rule when shopping for a house, no ex funeral homes, no ex murder homes, and finally, no suicide homes.
And nothing built on a cemetery.
I’ve been outside the Winchester house just outside and it gave off a creepy feeling there’s no doubt someone or something resides there
But it's so beautiful! Go inside next time. Take a tour. They do day tours and night tours. You won't regret it.
@@duh2042 Yeah but after watching this video I'd definitely say a DAY tour. Otherwise you might regret it.
I really wonder If the people who owned the homes ever think to find anything on the houses before buying.
About a year after the Amityville House movie came out (The first one), the folks currently living in it said the movie and the haunting stories were all bunk. They had no experiences, no ghosts and the house was entirely intact.
I think some people just aren't affected by ghosts. Was there a man it did seem the evil entity went after men. Also the lady that investigated hauntings in the Conjuring movies did investigate the Amityville house. She said there was definitely a evil presence in the house & she was a real investigator.
With the Exception of one Photo and even the Famous Warren's Amityville photo shown on Merv Griffith is Questionable at best no ghost haunting s happened.
Yeah I read that too but they still can’t explain why no one heard all the gunshots from when the Defeos were murdered. That was a lot of gun shots
@@rachellethompson8202 they did one of the youngest was found dead hiding in a closet also they the CSI guys found at least two types of bullets
9:24 there are haunted houses in my home state of Maryland
Watchmojo:"We're excluding hotels"
Also watch mojo: *makes a different video about hotels*
Watchmojo:STONKS!!
💞💞💞
Would be nice to have images of the real homes.
While the haunting of the amityville house is likely a hoax, the photo of one of the boys that was shot and killed, that was taken after the Lutz family left was real.
Could’ve been anyone
That picture creeps me seriously out.
@@lisalockridge5221 It was compared to photos of the family and is said to be one of the boys that shared the room the boy is peeking out of.
Great show.
If the interview of the Widow Winchester is accurate, the Winchester House IS the scariest. She straight out said she wanted to build each room to specifications from the ghosts who were haunting her, "...so the ghosts could re-enter this world." She, herself, was seriously warped, wracked with guilt feelings, I don't believe any ghosts were actually talking to her. But even her saying she didn't know who any of those voices were is very disturbing, & it all suggests she was simply very "disturbed mentally & emotionally". Her family members should have insisted she take some vacations instead & find a new place to build a new house. Maybe if she has some happy distractions in her old age she would stop living in dreadful guilt over something she had no control over, how he husband earned his wealth.
Loved this
When I toured the Winchester house 20 years ago the story was she kept building because the spirits told her to. Nothing else really behind it. She was told to build so she did.
Also the Lutz family came out and said they made up everything to get publicity.
The AmityVille horror house actually scares me, why build it like that.
Yeah, ever since I was little I always thought that top floor looked like a pair of eyes.
They have some old houses in Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington in that style.
Wow, I've seen all of these but one, The Ax Murders of Villisca. guess I need to find it and add it to my collection
I like to add the exorcist house, no way I want to be near the house
The haunted house I lived in the early 1970s was in weld county east of eaton Colorado in the country just a few hundred yards north of poudre river . Details - Chains being drug up and down the stairs . Furniture being moved around on the 2nd floor . People running around on the 2nd floor . Our old truck lights turning on and off and people talking in back of the truck , canvas covered tent like bed . The owner of the home was Mr Carl Benson ( deceased ) The home burned down in the late 70s or early 80s .
I feel the Smurl duplex is the most frightening. I do not remember which state it is located in. The two families moved into the duplex in 1975 after Hurricane Katrina. The grandparents on one side and the rest of the family on the other side. The infestation was so bad the Warrens got involved. It became a book and TV movie called "The Haunted." Both are really good. The movie was first aired in1991 starring Sally Kirkland, Jeffrey DeMunn and Diane Baker as Lorraine Warren. I was recently able to view it on UTub. I highly recommend it.
I have been to Winchester Mystery house a few times. Once for a full tour and the other to tour the grounds.
pls make "Top 10 Cartoon Network Halloween Episodes"!
They should have the Ed Edd Eddy special on there
@@matthewwelsh294 or the Halloween episodes from "Regular Show"
Wasn’t expecting to see CM Punk on the list (girl on the 3rd floor) but I also don’t know all the movies he was in after he left WWE. So I wasn’t totally surprised.
He added an extra layer of enjoyment to the 2019 remake of Rabid
Saw a video once of Henry Cavill going over a script in his house and there was a ghost present by one of his windows.The video was touted as such.(Meet the ghost living in Henry Cavill's home,or something to that effect).
I love haunted houses 🤩🧡🖤🧡🖤
I think they should have called Luigi to exterminate the ghosts invading their homes.
Rest in peace Ed & Loraine Warren
Amazing
After watching the changeling I gave up on sleep; it was that creepy.
Creepy is a good word for that one!
I wanna live on that house they used to film The Exorcist.
@B A S E D man up boy.
Good luck
@@chaosdromanah8620 good luck to the demon's and ghosts.
Pretty sure they filmed it on a set stage. Because all the stories about the movie being cursed include when all of the sets burned down but that one that was being used as Reagan's room was left untouched. Things like that
@Based I agree with you, the real Exorist story is very destructive. The family had to move out of the house. The Priest that preformed the exorcism was killed, and took the demon with him. HOPEFULLY! Potatomato please don't go there. Just talk about it online. I think Ghosthunters did a show about the real story. Watch it, it was a bit of hell.
Why is it people always build on top of a cemetery? Lessons were never learned
Poltergeist anyone lol
There should be more movies made based on
the Warrens cases, truly fascinating people.
Wasn't the Amityville House proven to be a hoax?
I know most of these places because of Shane and Ryan
I thought that same thing and then saw this comment! 😆😆😆
The Winchester House isn't haunted. Old Lady Winchester was haunted with some personal guilt, because she was crazy.
My town is the most haunted town in Kansas. The sallie house which is one of the most haunted houses in America is in my town.
Lizzie Bordan case is what got me started into loving true crime. I even did a essay at school i had to read. It started with What would you do if you walked in and found your father blugened to death? I thought it was good.
Lizzie butchered the dad for his money..guilty..the house is really haunted..been there n live in mass.theres alot no one's knows deep in the case..I've seen alot of paranormal evidence there.
Go the other fuckin way
I am not a fan of scary movies at all. I'm just a big weenie. But The Changeling is one of the few scary movies that I will watch. It's such a good movie!
Thank you guys. Now I can’t sleep do the next decade 🍪🍪
Both "Amityville" movies!
I didn't like how they made the house look in the remake. Actually, I did not like the remake.
happy halloween
It is cool to be associated to place in the No.8 spot.
Me and my sis watched "The Changling" when we were kids in the 80's. Our folks went to to store for a moment, so the part with the bouncing ball scenewas too scary at the time, we ran to our neighbors house 😆
I just uploaded a video on a scary town. It was great to explore it. Would love to explore these houses too.
The Lutz's also admitted it was a hoax. Why don't these channels ever mention that?
The Amity house was resold after the people who wrote the book lost the house and the next owner said it was a perfectly nice quiet house
I think the Winchester house should of been number 1. There have been a few different movies made based on it my favorite was Rose Red
Then you believe the myth. She wasn't at all like that.
@@martharunstheworld never said i believed in anything
Michael Myers House 🏠 scares me
People love being 😱 scared! Halloween is coming up so we will see more of these stories!
Others that I could mention which is one set house for haunted houses like the houses from
The Exorcist, Emily Rose, Paranormal Activity, and The Poltergeist
The Winchester mystery house is a cool place, but there’s never been any actual paranormal events there.
75: I’ve seen The Conjuring, Annabelle and The Amityville Horror. There’s no way I would ever be in a haunted home
Boston is very haunted I live in 3 haunted houses
Believe-it-or-else: According to a Realtor a friend knows just a rumor of paranormal activity can- and WILL- bring down a property value!!
But full disclosure laws say you have to mention it."Some died here,etc."
As far as The "Lizzy" Borden updated movie is concerned, it's No where near as good as the movie with Elizabeth Montgomery, she nailed being Lizzy Borden. None better ! P.S. The original movie ; Lizzy Borden with Elizabeth Montgomery has been put on RUclips, I know this as I found it & it's Free. For those who thought the updated version was good Please watch the original version with Elizabeth Montgomery & you'll see what a good movie is.
A former funeral home was turned into a house. Of course there would be ghosts in it.
The conjuring house
Lizie Borden & her parents spirits are in that house
Of all the ones that I actually seen,the conjuring and the Winchester was the scariest
Get the Ghoul Boys on the case!
Love this! Not sure I believe any of them but that’s coming from me, who,lived in a haunted house for 11 years!! Now that was real!,
Ive lived in haunted houses and apartments, including the one Im in now. Ive stopped the negative aspects of it though. It was scary for awhile.
