For the most part, movie sets are not the magical theatre of dreams that behind-the-scenes documentaries and fawning features in magazines make them out to be.

The notable exception to this rule is horror movie sets. Strangely, they appear to be home to all manner of supernatural disturbances. You can either chalk that up to overzealous marketing folks spicing up press releases by claiming their films are spooky both on and off camera. Or you could be less of a party pooper.

Whatever the reason, there's been no shortage of films that were supposedly home to some restless souls other than the actors. Here are ten movie sets that were (allegedly) haunted.
