31 Haunted Hotspots and Urban Legends for the Brave Traveler

13. Lawang Sewu – Indonesia

Once the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company, Lawang Sewu in Semarang, Indonesia, is one of the most haunted buildings in Southeast Asia. The name means "A Thousand Doors," and many of them seem to hide sinister secrets. During World War II, the Japanese occupied the building and turned its basement into a brutal prison and execution site. Visitors claim to hear disembodied footsteps, see ghostly apparitions of headless prisoners, and feel an overwhelming sense of dread as they explore its endless corridors.
