The 10 Most Haunted Places in Asia

"A historic castle near Kobe that inspired the plot for the original 'Ringu' film franchise and is associated with the tragic tale of a servant girl named Okiku, who is said to have thrown herself into a well after being falsely accused and whose ghost — sometimes described as wearing a white dress with long black hair — is still rumored to appear on the grounds. Visitors can still see the well linked to that legend when touring the site." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.
