25. Lawang Sewu – Semarang, Indonesia
Meaning "Thousand Doors" in Javanese, this sprawling colonial building was once the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company. During World War II, Japanese forces converted it into a prison and interrogation center, where many met brutal ends. Today, Lawang Sewu is renowned throughout Indonesia for its hauntings. Visitors report sightings of headless spirits, the terrifying female ghost known as a Kuntilanak, and the overwhelming stench of blood. Its basement, used for executions, is considered particularly active. Despite its dark past, the building remains a stunning, albeit chilling, architectural landmark.
