1. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"HauntedIf you\u2019re looking to experience the paranormal, then Savannah should be at the very top of your list. The historic streets of Savannah are some of the creepiest in America and are filled with dark tales.<\/p>\n

Two of the city\u2019s most infamous apparitions include Alice Riley and Little Gracie Watson. Legend has it that Alice was a new mom when she was sentenced to death by hanging in 1734. Now, Alice roams the square after dark. Search for her spirit\u2026if you dare!\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>On this <\/span>Segway tour through Bonaventure Cemetery,<\/span><\/a> keep your eyes peeled for Little Gracie Watson (who died when she was just 6 years old.)\u00a0Blanketed under layers of eerie Spanish moss, this cemetery has been the backdrop for countless supernatural events including sounds of babies crying late at night, cold spots, and bouts of laughter.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. WESTON, WEST VIRGINIA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Home to the historic Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, the City of Weston has a chilling past. The asylum originally opened in 1863 and was designed to hold a maximum of 250 patients. However, this capacity was drastically exceeded and peaked in the 1950s when over 2,600 individuals were housed in the facility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the asylum became overcrowded, the once luxurious facilities began to decline. Patients deemed uncontrollable were locked in cages while other tenants were forced to sleep in overcrowded, unsanitary rooms or freezing hallways. The asylum also became a training ground for experimental lobotomies. Using the \u2018ice pick\u2019 method, over 4,000 lobotomies were performed here, resulting in several deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that this historic building makes Weston one of the most Haunted Cities in America!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"GhostWhen asked to think about haunted locations in San Francisco, the first place to enter your mind is likely the isolated island of Alcatraz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a military prison for war criminals, Alcatraz is better known for housing some of the worst felons in history including <\/span>Al Capone, George \u201cMachine Gun\u201d Kelly, and Whitey Bulger.<\/span> With numerous reports of mysterious voices, cell doors closing unexpectedly, and ghostly figures wandering the halls, it would appear that some of the prison\u2019s inmates are serving more than a life sentence behind these walls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Alcatraz is understandably one of the city\u2019s most well-known haunted landmarks, it certainly isn\u2019t the only one. Walk the streets after dark and immerse yourself in a paranormal investigation with this <\/span>San Francisco Ghost Hunting Tour<\/span><\/a>. Equipped with your very own EMF detector, you\u2019ll visit some of the city\u2019s most haunted spots including Chinatown, the Jackson Square Historic District, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. ESTES PARK, COLORADO<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nestled amongst the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, The Stanley Hotel is the perfect destination for a romantic weekend getaway. Stunning views, elegant architecture, beautiful, historic rooms\u2026and several ghosts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most famously known as the inspiration for Stephen King\u2019s novel, <\/span>The Shining, <\/span><\/i>this hotel has captured the imaginations of both believers and skeptics for years. If you\u2019re looking to experience the Stanley\u2019s paranormal forces for yourself, we recommend booking a room on the fourth floor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once a large attic that housed female employees, children, and nannies, the fourth floor is notorious for its ghost stories. Listen for the pitter-patter of children\u2019s feet running through the halls late at night or try to catch a glimpse of the friendly cowboy spirit that resides in Room #428.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. NEW YORK, NEW YORK<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"HauntedDon\u2019t let the glitz and glamour of the Big Apple fool you, New York City is hands-down one of the most Haunted Cities in America.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>From the story of Evelyn McHale who leapt to her death off the Empire State Building to ghostly appearances of John Lennon and Edgar Allan Poe, the City That Never Sleeps is filled with terrifying tales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

6. NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"HauntedVoodoo. Vampires. Haunted mansions. It\u2019s no secret that the streets of New Orleans are full of supernatural legends and lore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the city\u2019s most well-known stories involves a beautiful neoclassical mansion located near the city\u2019s vibrant French Quarter. The tales surrounding the LaLaurie Mansion have made it one of the most popular, and feared, places in all of New Orleans. Purchased in 1831, it is unknown how many slaves were tortured and murdered here by the owner, Madame LaLaurie.<\/span><\/p>\n

When a fire broke out in 1834, a team of rescuers broke into the slave\u2019s quarters and discovered a shocking scene: mutilated bodies, emaciated slaves wearing spiked iron collars, and more. A mob of local citizens soon attacked the house and demolished all that they could. Following these horrific events, it is not uncommon to hear phantom footsteps and moaning within the house. You may also feel a negative energy overtake you as soon as you come near.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7. PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Philadelphia\"While images of America\u2019s founding fathers might be the first thing you think of when asked about Philadelphia, this historic city has plenty of sinister stories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Eastern State Penitentiary stands, castle-like, along Fairmount Avenue. This prison originally opened in 1829 and is well-known for its drastic solitary confinement measures. Prisoners lived alone, ate alone, and were hooded anytime they left their cells. The penitentiary also implemented other inhumane punishments including the Iron Gag, the Mad Chair, and the Water Bath. If you\u2019re brave enough to walk inside, listen for disembodied laughter and pacing footsteps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncover even more gruesome stories with this incredible app-led <\/span>Ghosts of Philly Nighttime Scavenger Hunt<\/span><\/a>. Explore the city\u2019s creepiest locations, hear eerie stories, and watch out for apparitions!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of you are probably familiar with this coastal city\u2019s \u2018witchy\u2019 past. In 1692, 19 individuals were accused of witchcraft and executed by hanging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legend has it that the spirits of those that were falsely accused still walk the streets of Salem. Supernatural events are fairly common at Gallows Hill (the site of their executions), the Howard Street Cemetery, and even Lyceum Bar and Grill. If you\u2019re looking for a truly spooky experience, then consider visiting the House of the Seven Gables.<\/span><\/p>\n

While most commonly known as the inspiration for Nathaniel Hawthorne\u2019s 1851 novel, this house is surrounded by tales of paranormal activity. With its dark color and Gothic-inspired cross-gables, this home is the essence of what all haunted houses should look like. Step inside, feel the old floorboards creak beneath your feet, and feel a chill run down your spine as the giggles and laughs of a phantom boy fill your ears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

9. PORTLAND, OREGON<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rumor has it that underneath the hustle and bustle of Portland lies a labyrinth of tunnels that were once used to transport goods, supplies, and\u2026kidnapped victims?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Portland\"This underground network of secret passageways connected local businesses directly to the Willamette River. Supplies could be easily transported and exchanged through trap doors located above the tunnels. However, goods might not have been the only things being traded below the streets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some say<\/span>\u00a0these tunnels led to secret brothels, gambling dens, and underground prisons for captured men and women. According to legend, these prisoners were often sold to sea captains, never to be seen again. Even though most of these tunnels are now collapsed, it is said that the spirits of the kidnapped still frequent the bars above ground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

10. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Haunted<\/p>\n

Featuring fireproofing, electricity throughout, and even a thermostat in every room, the Pfister Hotel was the epitome of luxury and prestige. It is said that the ghost of Charles Pfister still resides in the hotel and often harasses visiting Major League Baseball players. Could it be the restless spirit of Pfister himself?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

11. CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Charleston is easily one of the most haunted cities in America. Brothels, murders, suicides, demonic entities\u2026it\u2019s all in Charleston!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Charleston\"One of the city\u2019s most iconic haunted destinations is the Dock Street Theatre. In 1740, the original building burned down in the Charleston Fire. An inn was built in its place, but following the Civil War and a devastating earthquake, the inn was condemned and converted back into a theater. Ghosts have been spotted there ever since.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The spirit of Nettie Dickerson is most frequently spotted apparition within the Dock Street Theatre. Clad in an expensive red dress, it is said that Nettie met her demise when a bolt of lightning struck her on one of the old hotel\u2019s balconies. To this day, she is often spotted gliding around the theatre\u2019s second story, dressed in her prestigious red gown.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

12. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the surface, the Lincoln Park Zoo seems normal. Lions bask majestically in the sun, monkeys swing around on ropes, and river otters swim playfully together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"HauntedWhat many visitors may not realize is that this site was once the final resting place for over 35,000 bodies. Due to its close proximity to the city\u2019s water supply, the old cemetery was relocated along with most (but not all!) of the deceased. You don\u2019t have to be a paranormal expert to understand that messing with burial grounds often leads to resentful spirits. For over 150 years, supernatural entities have been spotted roaming the grounds. Even the famous parapsychologist, Ursula Bielski, considered the zoo to be one of the most active sites she\u2019d ever been to.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rumor has it that nearly 50,000 patients lost their lives in Louisville\u2019s Waverly Hills Sanatorium. If any place in the U.S. is truly haunted, Waverly Hills is it!<\/span><\/p>\n

The building was originally purchased as a school in 1883, but was repurposed as a sanatorium for patients suffering from tuberculosis. With no idea how to properly cure the infection, patients often underwent gruesome treatments. At the disease\u2019s peak, it is estimated that at least one patient passed away every hour. The bodies of the deceased were disposed of using a 500-foot body chute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step foot into this hair-raising landmark and keep your eyes peeled for the apparitions of a young boy named Timmy, a mysterious man in white, and more. .\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
