Top-10 Most haunted Castles in France

Where there is a crumbling old château, there must also be a pilfering poltergeist, sinister specter, or perhaps even the ghost of a decapitated Marie Antoinette roaming the hallowed hallways.

There are over 40,000 châteaux in France, many of which have endured a colorful history of revolution, religious conflicts, and wars that lasted up to a hundred years, so is it any wonder that there are more than a couple of ghosts lurking in these turreted towers?

Number # 10 :

Château des Noyers, Calvados, Normandy

Ruined Château des Noyers would need no green screen or special effects to turn it into the perfect backdrop for a horror movie. A modern château, it was built in 1830 by the De Baudre family.

Bizarre happenings started when the de Manville family inherited the château in 1867 and reported the presence of a poltergeist.

Books launched themselves from the shelves, objects moved by themselves, sheets rose eerily from beds.

A priest was called in to exorcise the building, but when the chair he sat on to perform the exorcism began to tremble and shake violently beneath him, he left in a hurry. In 1984 the château burned down in mysterious circumstances. To this day, it hasn’t been rebuilt.
