Spain’s sunny beaches, vibrant culture, and historic castles hide a shadowy side—but for The Gabaghoul crew, it’s the ghostly echoes that make it unforgettable. With a past filled with bloody wars, witch trials, and tragic deaths, Spain’s haunted spots will send chills down your spine. As of February 2025, here are the top three most haunted places in Spain, perfect for Gabaghoul fans seeking a paranormal thrill this winter. Grab your flashlight and brace for the unknown!
3. Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid) – The Hospital of Lost Souls
In Madrid’s heart, the Museo Reina Sofía is a Gabaghoul favorite with a haunting history. Originally a hospital from the 17th century until 1974, it cared for the sick and insane, with many deaths under its roof. Now an art museum, visitors report ghostly nuns, eerie moans, and slamming doors—possibly the spirits of patients and clergy who never left. This February’s winter nights amplify its creepy reputation for thrill-seekers.
2. Belchite (Zaragoza) – The Ghost Town of War
Near Zaragoza, Belchite is a Gabaghoul gem, a ruined town haunted by its tragic past. Destroyed during the Spanish Civil War’s Battle of Belchite in 1937, with over 5,000 deaths, it was abandoned, leaving its ghostly remnants. Visitors report war sounds, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures, especially in February’s crisp evenings of 2025. For the brave, it’s a chilling memorial turned haunt.
1. Parador de Cardona (Catalonia) – The Tortured Prisoner’s Cry
Topping our list, Parador de Cardona near Barcelona is The Gabaghoul ultimate Spanish haunt. This medieval castle, now a luxury hotel, was once a prison and torture center during the Middle Ages. Room 712 is infamous for paranormal activity, with guests reporting the ghost of a tortured prisoner or a girl in white. In February 2025, its winter silence heightens the eerie vibe—step in if you dare.
Why These Haunts?
Spain’s haunted hotspots are steeped in civil war tragedy, medieval torture, and restless spirits. Museo Reina Sofía’s hospital ghosts, Belchite’s war-torn echoes, and Parador de Cardona’s tortured souls make them Gabaghoul essentials. Visiting Spain this winter? Skip the beaches and hunt these spirits instead—just don’t expect a warm welcome from the shadows.
