3. Cemetery of the Nameless (Vienna) – The River’s Restless Souls

Just outside Vienna, the Cemetery of the Nameless—known as Friedhof der Namenlosen—is a Gabaghoul gem shrouded in gloom. This small, overgrown graveyard holds the remains of unidentified people who drowned in the Danube River during the 19th and 20th centuries, many suicides or migrants with no names. Buried under simple wooden crosses, their restless spirits are said to roam, seeking peace. Visitors feel an eerie presence, hear whispers, and see reflections in gravestones. In February’s crisp nights, it’s a haunting spot for thrill-seekers.

2. Moosham Castle (Salzburg) – The Werewolf’s Lair

Near Salzburg, Moosham Castle is a Gabaghoul favorite with a blood-soaked past. Dating back to 1191, it became a center for the Salzburg Witch Trials in the late 1600s, where residents were accused of witchcraft and executed. Legends claim werewolves prowled the grounds, and wildlife deaths fueled the hysteria. Visitors report ghostly cries, cold spots, and shadowy figures, especially in the castle’s shadowy halls. This February 2025, its winter isolation makes it a perfect haunt for the brave.

1. Hofburg Palace (Vienna) – The Empress’s Eternal Wander

Topping our list, Hofburg Palace in Vienna is The Gabaghoul ultimate Austrian haunt. Once the Habsburg dynasty’s imperial residence, it’s rumored to be haunted by Empress Elisabeth, or Sisi, assassinated in 1898, whose spirit wanders the halls at night. A guard, falsely accused of rape and executed, also knocks on doors, seeking justice. Visitors feel an unsettling presence and hear strange noises, especially under February’s moonlit skies. For Gabaghoul fans, it’s a royal nightmare—step inside if you dare.
