Welcome to Bran Castle in Transylvania, Romania, known as "Dracula's Castle" because it matches the description in the classic legend by Bram Stoker.
Stoker published his Gothic horror novel in 1897, but visitors to the castle can still pay homage to the bloodsucker.
You can also visit Isla de las Muñecas — the Island of the Dolls in Xochimilco, Mexico — where hundreds of decrepit toys hang from trees to commemorate a young girl's tragic death in the surrounding waters.
Local legend has it that the island's caretaker hung the mangled dolls after he failed to save a drowning girl. They're believed to move and blink, possessed by her spirit.
