    Where the banned people go.

    Those places are only in certain parts of the USA. I think you basically have to live in small towns in the Northeast. The frozen hamburgers are HORRIBLE.

    Only "castle" I've ever been to. Fairmont Banff Springs in Banff, Alberta. Would love to go to Europe and see some real castles though. Some day.

    Maybe not the best building; you'd have to go some to beat the location, though.

    Maybe not the best to look at but the Citadelle Laferrière in Haiti is cool just for it's bizarre, interesting and tragic history.

    Aye, I remember seeing the photo when I went to Stirling Castle years ago-

    "The most active ghost is certainly that of the Highland Ghost.
    He often appears around the castle in full costume and unsuspecting tourists have approached him as a tour guide to then discover that he ignores them, turns around and walks away.
    In 1935, the ghost was unexpectedly caught on camera by an architect taking photographs for building work. When the ghost was revealed on the print the architect was at first dismayed as he had taken the photographs early in the day to avoid getting tourists on them!"

    I'm a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal but it's fascinating.

    Here's the close up of the photo negative.
