#5 Estadio do Dragão - Porto
Back at Champions League 2012, FC Porto was facing P.S.G in an exciting match. During the match, a young footballer James Rodriguez scored the first and the last goal of the game.
As soon as Rodriguez scored the goal, he went to celebrate it with the Porto fans. But at that moment an unexpected fan was seen. Just as the cameraman was trying to focus on Rodriguez, an old lady was seen sitting in an unusual outfit between the fans (from the mid-1900). (which you can see below)
After seeing the footage, it seems that the old lady was quite interested in the game of football that night. Later, some photos of that dark figure were released, and it was said to be no evil but an old person who was in attendance wearing an outdated attire.
This football ground is still considered to be a haunted one among many other by some fans. It is said that the old lady used to live near that football ground.
#4 Highbury – Old Arsenal Stadium
Highbury was Arsenal's old stadium till 2006. It was later changed to the Emirates Stadium probably because of its larger size than old stadium Highbury had. Between the time period of 1920-34 Henry Champman was Arsenal manager.
During the time he made the club relevant more than any other clubs in England. But the Arsenal's manager didn't stay with the club for too long as he died just at the age of 55. The reason for his death was told to be pneumonia that he was suffering from.
After he died it was told that Chapman's ghost has been seen running around the corridors of the Old Arsenal Stadium. During the time when Chapman was sick, he used to drag himself to see some of his club matches. But due to this obnoxious move of him, he made things only worsen for his body.
#3 Saint Mary’s Stadium – Southampton
Saint Mary is the Southampton's official stadium since 2001. The stadium is currently the largest stadium in the history of North East England standing with a capacity of 32,505 fans.
The Stadium was built on a graveyard. But while building it Pre-Christian tombs were unearthed from there due which it was believed that it was those spirits who were taking the revenge from the Saints.
The speculation went too far that even a white witch was called on the ground so that she could get some peace on that stadium. After Saints moved them from The Dell to Saint Mary they performed badly in all their matches between 2001-02.
#2 Ghazi Stadium – Afghanistan
Ghazi Stadium is located in Kabul, Afghanistan. The stadium has more history with it than just being a football ground.
During the reign of Taliban, the stadium was used for public execution. People were executed by him more than any fan who stepped foot into the ground. Though the Stadium is free from all reign of the terror, thanks to the international help, still people do hesitate to enter it after the sun goes down.
Though there haven't been any reports of some ghost lurking around the ground, still the horrific events that happened back then were enough for anyone to think twice before entering Ghazi Stadium.
#1 Stadium Of Light – Sunderland
The very first ghostly appearance that was confirmed in the stadium was back in 2005. Two backstage members claimed that a dark appearance in the corridors of the stadium. But this was left unnoticed because of some other people who opposed this incident by saying it was nothing but some other person that they have seen.
But the very same was confirmed on Live T.V. During an episode of MNF (Monday Night Football) which was aired on Skysports, many fans noticed an unusual activity on the ground.
According to the fans and the footage (which you can see below), a groundsman is seen walking on the pitch but after a fraction few seconds, he was seen vanished into the air like a ghost (which many fans believe it still is).
The same incident also happened a few times which has convinced most of the fans that it's a spirit that is walking down on the ground in front of them, not a normal human being.
