Do you ever walk into a place and feel goosebumps? You sense that you’re not alone and that there’s a heavy, restless history that can be felt throughout. Then perhaps the place you’re visiting is haunted by the spirits of eras past. Many destinations in the United States are said to be haunted, including famous hotels, moss-clad plantations, old penitentiaries, and even lighthouses.
THE QUEEN MARY IN LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA:
Once a gleaming ocean liner that launched in 1934, the Queen Mary now serves as a docked hotel—but many consider it one of the most haunted places to visit in the United States. It’s reported that 49 deaths have taken place on the Queen Mary since it was built, with guests attesting to spirited happenings like lights turning on and off, unexplained knocking on doors, and ghost sightings. To learn more about these spooky surroundings, take a day tour or, if you dare, sign up for a night tour.
GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD IN GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA:
It should come as no surprise that the Gettysburg Battlefield is heavy with ghosts. The field, known for the bloody 1863 Civil War battle, holds myriad reports of supernatural events (with soldiers making frequent appearances), with the field’s Devil’s Den rock formation acting as a hub for many of the sightings. Visit these eerie locales by taking a ghost tour, on foot or by bus.
CONGRESS PLAZA HOTEL IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS:
The Congress Plaza Hotel is considered to be one of the most haunted hotels in Chicago. Guests have reported spotting the ghost of Al Capone, who was a past resident of the hotel, along with the roguish ghost Peg Leg Johnny. Plan to stay overnight or attend the hotel’s famed Haunted Halloween Ball.
