Haunted South America & Oceanic: The most haunted places from the Amazon to the Outback

South America keeps places the living avoid: palaces where presidents never slept, castles built on cursed ground, a Sao Paulo tower that burned in 1974 and never stopped holding its dead, and cemeteries that never close.

Oceania has its own shadows: Larnach Castle, the only castle in New Zealand, haunted above Dunedin harbor; penal colonies that never forgave; and Pacific islands where the war dead still stand watch.

From the Tower of David in Caracas to the ghost roads of the outback, here are the most haunted places in thirty-eight countries and territories.

Some you can visit. Whether you should is another question.

Inside you'll find:

- Edificio Joelma, the Sao Paulo tower that burned in 1974 and still keeps its ghosts

- The Tequendama Falls Museum, perched 157 meters above Colombia's white water

- Casa Matusita, Lima's most famous haunted house

- The Salvo Palace in Montevideo and the castles Uruguay never wanted

- The Tower of David, Caracas's abandoned half-built skyscraper

- Larnach Castle, the only castle in New Zealand, haunted above Dunedin harbor

- Port Arthur, Monte Cristo, and Australia's penal colonies that never forgave

- WWII ghosts across the Pacific islands and the far territories

Each chapter follows the same easy structure: the place, the legend, the sightings, and whether you can visit it yourself.

Perfect for ghost hunters, paranormal readers, and armchair travelers who like their history with the lights on.
