In the 1960s, multiple children went missing, and their bodies were dumped at a playground that is right next to the cemetery. Locals say that around 10 pm every night the swings will rock and the slide will groan under an invisible weight.

The sound of children’s giggling can also be heard in the darkness.

In the 17th Century, the Dutch East India Company built the massive Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, South Africa. The edifice allowed traders to have a place to rest during their travels.

For a while, people reported seeing a ghostly apparition of a woman they called “The Lady in Grey” sobbing.

The employees of the castle decided to dig in the area where the ghost was seen; sure enough, the body of a woman had been buried at the site. Once she was exhumed and given a proper burial, the hauntings allegedly stopped.
