Switzerland’s stunning Alps, serene lakes, and charming towns hide a darker secret—but for The Gabaghoul crew, it’s the ghostly echoes that make it unforgettable. With a history of medieval curses, tragic deaths, and eerie legends, Switzerland’s haunted spots will send chills down your spine. As of February 2025, here are the top three most haunted places in Switzerland, perfect for Gabaghoul fans seeking a paranormal thrill this winter. Grab your flashlight and brace for the shadows!
3. Val Sinestra Hotel (Lower Engadine) – The Soldier’s Restless Spirit
Tucked in the remote Lower Engadine, the Val Sinestra Hotel is a Gabaghoul favorite with a haunting past. Once a luxurious spa hotel, it’s now known for ghostly apparitions, especially Hermann—a Belgian World War I soldier said to linger in the former bathhouse. Visitors report doors slamming, windows opening on their own, and eerie whispers, particularly in the chilly February nights of 2025. For thrill-seekers, its isolation makes it a perfect haunt.

2. Joller House Site (Stans) – The Vengeful Grandmother’s Curse
In Stans, the site of the former Joller House is a Gabaghoul gem steeped in tragedy. In the late 1700s, Veronika Gut, a fierce farmer, lost her son and four daughters to Napoleon’s forces, driving her to haunt her grandson Melchior after his liberal leanings clashed with her beliefs. The house, demolished in 2010, left her restless spirit to roam the area, with reports of rapping noises and shadowy figures. This February, the empty lot feels eerily alive.

1. Neu-Bechburg Castle - Kuoni’s Cursed Realm
Topping our list, Neu-Bechburg Castle near Oensingen is The Gabaghoul ultimate Swiss haunt. This 14th-century fortress is said to be haunted by Kuoni, a cruel robber knight bricked up alive for his crimes. Visitors report strange noises, device malfunctions, and shadowy figures, especially under the winter moon of February 2025. For Gabaghoul fans, it’s a cursed relic—step in if you dare.

Why These Haunts?
Switzerland’s haunted hotspots are drenched in medieval curses, tragic histories, and restless spirits. Val Sinestra’s soldier, Joller House’s vengeful grandmother, and Neu-Bechburg’s robber knight make them Gabaghoul essentials. Visiting Switzerland this winter? Skip the ski slopes and hunt these ghosts instead—just don’t expect the Alps to shield you from the chill.
