The City Cemetery in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, is frequented by ghastly apparitions of the cities dead and cursed souls of voodoo believers. The past few years, the cemetery has been plundered by grave robbers who sell casket handles, shoes, and anything else they can salvage from the tombs of the departed. The grave robbing has upset the rest of those buried here and as a result, many are now roaming about stuck in between this world and the next because of voodoo magic.
When most of us think of “voodoo”, we imagine dark forces and scary dolls, but in reality, voodoo is essentially a religion based upon the foundation that all of Creation is “divine”, and thus infused with divine energy that can be “tapped into” by its practitioners; this power can be used for good or for evil. However in most cases in Haiti, only the evil side is practiced and therefore a virtual army of the dead haunt this cemetery in order to protect it and scare off grave robbers.
As a result of a voodoo ritual, the most vocal spirit is bound to this location forever to prevent it from possessing anyone in the future as it had done so in the past. The spirit of Ezili Dantar will try to harm you possess you or do anything possible in an attempt to escape the voodoo binding ceremony performed here in 1798.
I would say this is in my opinion, one of the 10 most haunted locations in the world and warn you not to visit this location alone.
