Rizwan Castle, situated in the heart of Patna, Bihar, is a striking yet decaying early 20th-century Tudor-Gothic style mansion. Built by Hasan Imam, a distinguished barrister and prominent leader of the Indian National Congress, this grand architectural landmark has fallen into deep neglect. Shrouded in local rumors of curses, mysterious deaths, and nocturnal apparitions, Rizwan Castle stands as Bihar's most infamous urban haunted estate.
Himeji Castle, known as Shirasagijō ('White Heron Castle') for its elegant white plaster walls, is Japan's premier surviving feudal castle and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beneath its grand keep lies 'Okiku's Well' (Okiku-no-ido), the focal point of one of Japan's most famous classic ghost stories ('Banshū Sarayashiki'). The tragic legend of Okiku, a beautiful maidservant tortured and thrown down the well, inspired generations of Bunraku, Kabuki, and J-Horror masterpieces like 'Ringu'.
