【本期话题】A Country of Ghost Lover


It is always believed that England / UK is the most haunted place in the world. <> Something to consider when pondering the "world's most haunted" is definitely the age of a country, it's history, the extent of wars/violent activity, and so on. I once heard a statistic that 1 in 5 people you pass on the streets of London are in fact, ghosts. (Not saying I believe it... just repeating a stat I heard.)【更多故事尽在TalkOnline】

不过实际上,几乎世界所有国家地区都热衷于鬼怪之谈

Of course, the Tower of London is always included in lists of "Most Haunted". It's certainly one of the top 10. The Tower has an extremely violent and legend-rich history. Many people-- including kings and queens-- died horrible, agonizing deaths there ( beheadings, drawn and quartered, etc). If you're a believer, you can find ghosts in practically any country, any state and almost any city in the world. Chances are that there may be a ghost haunting in your very own neighborhood.
