Spine-chilling screams, eerie sounds, and ghoulish shadows. Oh my! Stay tuned if your perfect idea for a Friday night is watching Ghost Hunters reruns or Paranormal Lockdown! We’ve compiled a list of the most haunted places in America, including abandoned asylums, haunted hotels, and places with mysterious happenings.
To give you a tease, you can visit the creepy hotel that was the basis for Stephen King’s The Shining. It is said that King had multiple paranormal experiences while staying at the hotel and decided to write the book. Whatever you do, don’t stay in Room 237 when you visit!
And did you know that the White House is said to be haunted? (no, we promise this isn’t a political joke!) Several presidents and White House staff members have stories of seeing real ghosts or hearing ghostly voices. Ironically, there are many reports of seeing the ghost of President Abraham Lincoln.
So, pack your flashlight, EMF gauge, and a thermal camera (just kidding, unless you have those ghost-hunting supplies!), and prepare for some of the best ghost hunting in the United States. And maybe you can even do some ghost tours with the paranormal experts.
