Haunted
New Orleans
Voted Haunted
New Orleans
the best Haunted
City in the
United States
for 2004 - 2005
- 2006. www.hauntedamericatours.com
South
Louisiana possesses
the Crown Jewel
of all Haunted
Cities - New
Orleans.
Long
before the docks
of haunted New
York City became
crowded with
European refugees,
the port of
New Orleans
was already
melting everything
in its wondrous
Creole pot.
Among the earliest
settled cities
of the New World,
New Orleans'
place at the
bend of the
mighty Mississippi
River more than
guaranteed it
a unique and
interesting
life. Held by
French and Spanish,
threatened by
the British,
and governed
by Abraham Lincoln's
Army of the
Republic during
the Civil War,
this venerable
"Old Lady"
has seen generations
come and go
with grace and
quiet charm.
One
could spend
an entire lifetime
in the Crescent
City - so-called
because of its
auspicious placement
at the river's
turn - and still
not know all
there is to
know of her,
nor ever, it
has been said,
get enough of
her. Characterized
as an almost
living being,
the City itself
has been suspected
of casting a
spell over all
who come to
her, assuring
that all who
visit will eventually
come back.
This
magic translates
into the architecture
and, indeed,
the very air
of this infamous
city; like a
chameleon, she
can change in
a moment and
become anything
desired. In
Congo Square
one-time slaves
beat the rhythm
of the Old Lady's
heart to an
African frenzy
under the watchful
tutelage of
Marie Laveau,
the greatest
Voodoo Queen
to ever live;
the well-to-do
built mansions
Uptown, while
the immigrants
and natives
packed into
the ramshackle
row houses of
the burgeoning
French Quarter,
where the true
soul of this
old city is
really to be
found. Jean
Lafitte and
his pirates
plotted in a
blacksmith shop
that is still
preserved amid
the neon and
decadence of
Bourbon Street;
blocks away
the memories
of the great
priest Pere
Antoine seem
to resonant
still from the
walls of the
St. Louis Cathedral;
and all around
the seething,
humid air seems
filled with
memory and thoughts
of days gone
by.
In
Haunted New
Orleans the
theorem works
opposites and
the supernatural
easily becomes
the natural.
It is a city
to be savored,
like fine wine
or a choice
cut of meat,
slowly, with
relish and delight,
and so strong
is its hold
that even the
dead have a
hard time leaving
it behind.
With
New Orleans
graveyard, Haunted
Houses, Buildings
and battlefields.
New Orleans
is said to be
haunted by the
ghost of the
world famous
Voodoo Queen
of New Orleans,
Marie Laveau.
Her spirit has
been reported
inside of the
St. Louis Cemetery
No. 1, walking
between the
tombs wearing
a red and white
seven knotted
turban , and
mumbling a New
Orleans Santeria
Voodoo curse
to trespassers.
Her Voodoo curse
is loud and
even heard by
passerby's on
nearby Rampart
Street. Locals
say this has
started in recent
years for she
is alarmed by
the many vandals
and state of
the cemetery.
Voudon Believers
and Tourist
and locals still
come to her
tomb every day
and leave many,
many Voodoo
offerings (candles,
flowers,
the
monkey and the
cock
statue,
Mardi Gras beads,
Gris Gris bags,
Voodoo dolls
and food in
hopes of being
blessed by her
supernatural
powers from
beyond the grave.
Many make a
wish at her
tomb marking
three X's. while
others say they
have her Ghost
on film emerging
undead from
her tomb. They
say her soul
appears here
as a shiny black
Voodoo cat with
read eyes. If
you see it run!
Other
well known ghost
haunt New Orleans,
as do haunted
legends like
that of the
Laularie House.
Delphine LaLaurie
and her third
husband, Leonard
LaLaurie, took
up residence
in the house
at 1140 Royal
Street sometime
in the 1830's.
There
are reported incidents
of people seeing,
feeling and hearing
the ghosts of tormented
slaves in the LaLaurie
home, and there
are even reports
of the Madame herself
being seen there.
The docile house
servants who entreated
the assistance of
outsiders when the
house was about
to burn to the ground
are said to often
return to their
task - running and
slamming doors and
shouts are heard
repeatedly. Nor
are the spirits
of the restless
dead quiet: the
reports of moans
and weeping outnumber
all others, and
there are several
who have seen the
ghostly faces of
the dead peering
from the upper windows
and the chamber
of horrors that
became the crucible
of their miserable
lives. New Orleans
is one of the oldest
and most multi-faceted
cities in the United
States, and there
are other tales,
similar to those
of the LaLaurie
home that, sadly,
have made their
way into our history.
But the gruesome
horror of this particular
event was so ghastly
that it stains the
city's memory to
this very day.
Ghost cats and dogs
are said to prowl
the New Orleans
Haunted cemeteries
daily. Very near
the great walls
of oven tombs. None
of these ghost animals
have ever shown
signs of meanness.
Several Tour guides
say these are the
animals of an 1800's
cemetery keepers
guard dogs and pets.
Orbs, ghost photos,
EVP"S, strange
phenomena, Voodoo
rituals, witchcraft,
and Haunted Mardi
Gras Parades. Haunted
hotels abound Footsteps
are heard stomping
up and down halls
and stairways at
night. Doorknobs
to your hotel room
turn, Closet doors
open and close,
and a rush of air
follows as if someone
is walking through.
Haunting's to many
to mention here,
all happen in this

Haunted City in

Haunted Galveston,Texas
No
discussion of
the history of
Haunted Galveston
would be complete
without mention
of the most traumatic
event in the city's
history -- the
Great Storm of
1900. And now
Hurricane Ike.

Founded
in 1836, Galveston
has a history as
old and phantom-filled
as the entire state
of Texas. Tales
of pirates and civil
war soldiers, of
drowned victims
of the Great Storm
of 1900 that still
wander the Galveston
streets looking
for home. These
are but a few of
the phantoms of
Haunted Galveston.
Galveston
was the first Texas
city to have electric
lights, electric street
cars, a post office,
naval base, a newspaper,
public library and
hospital and many
other products of
civilization. Galveston
is rich in history
and was the area known
as the "Strand"
encompasses many of
the most historic
buildings in the old
city including the
1894 Grand Opera House,
many museums, shops
and eateries. The
Galveston Strand was
once called "The
Wall Street of the
Southwest" because
it's location and
climate attracted
so many of the formidable
"old money"
families of the Northeast.
This barrier island
also boasts one of
the country's largest
bird migratory flyways,
beautiful beaches
and amazing, rich
salt marshes.
In
the early 1800's
the island was used
as a headquarters
by the famous buccaneer
pirate Jean Lafitte
who used the remote
and trackless surroundings
to hide his treasure
and further his
clandestine trade
with outlying territories.
Legends abound of
the buried treasure
left behind by Lafitte
and his men and
treasure hunters
still seek the lost
booty to this day.
In 1821, Lafitte
was ordered to leave
by the American
forces aboard the
warship "Enterprise."
Lafitte sailed out
of Galveston aboard
his frigate "Barataria
Bay" was never
seen in Galveston
again - at least
not by any living
eye.
During
the years of the
Texas revolution,
the island was used
as the naval headquarters
for the rebelling
fleet. Santa Ana
was held prisoner
on the island following
his defeat in the
battle of San Jacinto,
and this was just
the beginning of
its tenure as a
prisoner's hold.
During
the Civil War many
buildings on the
islands were used
to hold prisoners
-- the island changed
hands twice and
so both Union and
Confederate soldiers
were at one time
held prisoner here.
Many of the island
buildings were also
used to hospitalize
wounded from both
sides of the War
of the Rebellion.
Some of these buildings
still stand to this
day and there are
reports of sightings
of both Union and
Confederate soldiers
who still linger
where their souls
passed on.
The
Reconstruction of
the Union was barely
underway when, in
1867, Galveston
was struck with
the worst Yellow
Fever epidemic in
its history. The
same epidemic had
struck nearby Houston
and the graves of
the small island
cemeteries filled
to capacity so quickly
that many of the
deceased had to
be transported to
Houston and outlying
towns for burial.
Islanders are still
known for their
loyalty and pluck;
perhaps these distant
burials didn't please
them and caused
them to return to
haunt their old
"digs?"
During the height
of the 1867 epidemic
the city was eventually
quarantined and
the small cemeteries
became an overcrowded
morass of decaying
corpses and exposed,
rotting coffins.
The Jefferson Davis
Hospital was ultimately
built over the remains
of the worst of
these city cemeteries.
There are claims
that many of the
restless dead from
cemeteries and hospital
alike still haunt
the location.
This
storm, now known
to have been a category
5 hurricane, is
still recorded as
the worst natural
disaster in US history.
The death toll of
the 1900 Storm was
estimated to be
between 6,000 -
8,000 with 4,000
homes and other
buildings leveled
by the onslaught
of torrential rains,
wind and storm surge.
Barometer readings
recorded during
the storm set a
record low for any
area of the United
States up to that
point and sustained
winds were estimated
at speeds of in
excess of 100 mph.
When
the storm was approaching
authorities attempted
to calm the island
residents with assurances
that the low tidal
level of the Gulf
of Mexico would
keep the destructive
force of sea and
waves to a minimum.
On the morning of
September 8, 1900,
there was an almost
carnival atmosphere
as Galveston residents
assembled along
the beaches to greet
the oncoming storm.
Before long, however,
they were fleeing
in terror as the
realization of the
full impact of what
was approaching
came over them.
With
full might the category
5 hurricane pounded
into the Galveston
coastline. Winds
whipped down trees
and cable car lines,
fence posts and
shop signs took
flight over the
heads of the now-hysterical
residents who were
literally running
for their lives.
Torrents of rains
blinded them as
the dispersed throughout
the streets and
lanes of Galveston,
many climbing over
those who fell in
their path. Trains
en route to the
island were called
back too late and
were washed away
with their trestles;
entire houses collapsed
in the onslaught
of the winds.
With
the howling of the
winds came the rising
flood waters and
panicked crowds
took refuge where
they could in the
face of the oncoming
deluge. Hundreds
jammed into the
Tremont Hotel in
downtown Galveston
(now the Tremont
House Hotel) where
their ultimate refuge
was the roof of
the building, exposed
to the wind and
rain. As the storm
surge pummeled ashore
entire buildings
were washed away
or overturned like
teacups into the
murky tide. People
clustered on roof
tops watched in
horror as friends
and neighbors were
swept past them
to their deaths.
People grabbed onto
anything that would
float, including
coffins washed out
of their resting
place in the local
cemeteries.
Galveston
reeled in the wake
of the horrible
storm. The clean
up began as the
waters receded and
winds and rain died
down. Bodies seemed
to be everywhere.
Those collected
immediately after
the storm were hauled
out to sea on barges
and dumped for burial
at sea. But nature
had a last cruel
trick to play and
as the tide turned,
bodies began to
wash up on the beaches
by the thousands.
Temporary morgues
were set up in the
mercantile district,
now called the Strand,
and ultimately were
set on huge pyres
for burning. In
some cases, sympathetic
citizens would bury
as many of the dead
as possible in their
courtyards and back
lots. To this day
it is not unusual
for renovators in
the older areas
of the city to unearth
bones presumed to
be those of flood
victims from plastered
walls or from shallow
back yard graves.
After
the storm Galveston
engineers began
the construction
of the 17 foot bulkhead
that still stands
on the Gulf side
of the islands,
and in an amazing
feat of engineering
the entire city
was raised to a
level that could
withstand a similar
storm, and has been
tested many times
over since the Great
Storm of 1900.
Do
the ghosts of the
lost dead still
haunt the old streets
and historic buildings
of Haunted Galveston?
Reports
of a ghostly frigate
sailing in Galveston
bay under a moonless
sky still are made
to this day. Could
this be the famous
Barataria Bay, captained
by the ghostly Lafitte?
Soldiers still grimace
in pain and moan
fitfully in the
once makeshift hospitals
that now house bright
shops and chic cafes.
It is not uncommon
to be relaxing with
a cup of coffee
and a newspaper
and to look up and
find you are being
studied from afar
by the ghost of
a long dead soldier.
In one Strand shop,
a body is sometimes
seen apparently
floating in thin
air near the rafters
-- a remnant, no
doubt, of the floods
of the Great Storm
of 1900 when it
washed in and was
caught against the
ceiling. Reports
are even made of
phantoms standing
atop the sea wall
and gazing rigidly
out to Sea, perhaps
awaiting the next
killer storm? Other
reports are more
troubling, that
those of a family
who recently visited
the haunted Galveston
beach and were alarmed
when what appeared
to be a weeping
woman and a small
child began to follow
them over the sand.
When the family
finally stopped
and turned to confront
them, there was
no sign of either
the woman or her
child. It seems
that nearly every
building on the
Strand has a ghost
or two.

Haunted Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania
The
most deadly battle
of the Civil War
took place in 1863
in the tiny Pennsylvania
town of Gettysburg.
Union soldiers were
low on ammunition
and losing the fight,
nearly capitulating
them to the advancing
Confederate army.
Then, as they used
up the last of their
gunpowder, a ghostly
George Washington
on a white stallion
appeared before
them, urging them
on to victory —
an event that ultimately
turned the tide
of the war. That's
the way the legend
tells it anyway,
and to this day,
the people who live
in and around Gettysburg
maintain that George
Washington's ghost
rides regally across
that same battlefield
every summer. Of
all the forlorn,
countless souls
awash in time, none
reach out to us
more than those
of the dead at Gettysburg
. . . Their presence
on earth was silenced
forever by death.
Or maybe not."
-- Mark Nesbitt.

Terrifying
visions and horrible
scenes of the atrocities
of a Civil War.
Battlefields, houses,
lonely roads and
shallow entrenchments
all still bear the
tell-tale marks
of three days of
gore and terror
that seared themselves
into the collective
memory of America.
"Gettysburg"
This one word can
conjure up all these
Haunted images and
chills.
But
the horrible days
of the Battle of
Gettysburg are not
just distant memory
in this haunted
Pennsylvania town.
It is as if the
soldiers who fought
and died here, and
the people whose
lives were touched
by this great catastrophe,
cannot help but
continue to remind
us of what sacrifices
were made here,
of what was won
and lost on the
sprawling hills
of Gettysburg.
It
is said that Gettysburg
is very likely the
most haunted destination,
"acre for acre,"
in all of America.
The dead do not
rest easy in Gettysburg,
and they are not
hesitant to remind
the living that
they refuse to be
forgotten.
Mark
Nesbitt is an award-winning
author and paranormal
investigator who
has spent years
researching and
categorizing reports
of haunting's in
and around the battlefield
and town of Gettysburg.
Many of his experiences
are first-hand,
and he has made
painstaking efforts
to document as many
as possible in his
series of books
called "Ghosts
of Gettysburg."
Nesbitt has also
presented his findings
in television documentaries
and on radio programs
across America.
He is considered

Although
most of the paranormal
activity is centered
around the battlefield,
every street of
Gettysburg is filled
with ghosts of the
unquiet dead.
Visit
the home of Jenny
Wade, the only woman
killed during the
Battle of Gettysburg,
where ghostly activity
occurs on an almost
daily basis. Visit
the apothecary shop
in the heart of
Gettysburg where
the ghost of a mournful
woman still holds
vigil over the casket
of her dead father.

Horse and Buggy
Ride. Visit the

College Campus where
several buildings
served as makeshift
morgues during the
height of the bloodshed.
Reports are made
regularly of visitors
who encounter ghostly
apparitions and
hear horrible moaning's
of long departed
soldiers. The cries
of spectral infants
from a long deserted
orphanage, another
site used to shelter
the Gettysburg dead
and dying, are said
to mingle with the
suffering moans
of the dying soldiers.
Visit
the lonely battlefields
where reports by
several eyewitnesses
tell of ghostly
regiments still
charging each other
in pitched battle,
complete with the
sound of musket
and cannon fire.

paths and promontories
where soldiers from
both sides held
out as long as fate
would allow them,
sometimes dying
and being buried
where they fell.
Or visit the National
Cemetery where reports
tell of the strains
of the Gettysburg
Address still being
uttered by Abraham
Lincoln 13 decades
after the event.
The
gatehouse of the
National Cemetery
is occupied by an
invisible sentry
still on guard.
The apparition descends
the stairs, footsteps
are heard and a
chill of spiritual
energy proceeds
it, but the apparition
never appears!

Haunted Key West,
Florida
Haunted
Tales from Florida’s
sun kissed beaches
abound and would not
be complete without
the treasure of all
haunting's, Haunted
Key West. Where else
might generations
of ghostly cats try
to steal your soul
or Robert the Haunted
Doll try to follow
you home?
From
artists who still
linger in Victorian
era homes, and long
dead morticians who
still attempt to practice
their craft on less
than willing victims,
or the unrelenting
spirit of Elvira who
likes to hang around
the famous Hanging
Tree in the middle
of Captain Tony's
famous bar, Key West
is brimming with the
unusual and the unexplainable.
There
are the ghosts of
famous writers and
famous seafarers,
of light housemen
and soldiers, of
rum-runners and
Cuban refugees,
and the disturbing
but true tale of
the eye doctor who
had an eye for necrophilia
and kept the body
of his paramour
around long after
she should have
been peacefully
at rest.
Not
resting very peacefully

Haunted Savannah,
Georgia
Savannah,
Georgia is considered
by many the most
haunted city in
America. It was
named so by Fox
Television's Scariest
Places on Earth
television series
and there is enough
history and legend
permeating the old
town to fill hundreds
of books.

Its
colorful and legend-filled
past enthralls visitors
to this day; its
streets are filled
with the shadows
and ghosts of bygone
days, perhaps still
waiting to greet
the inquisitive
traveler.
The
city's founding
father, Englishman
James Edward Oglethorpe,
was so enthralled
with the areas lush
tropical shoreline
and very mild climate
that when he landed
on the shores of
the Savannah River
in 1733 he chose
to remain. Shortly
after his arrival,
Oglethorpe chartered
the great city of
Savannah in what
was to become the
final New World
Crown Colony of
England's King George
II.
Much
of the original,
dreamlike beauty
that Oglethorpe
experienced over
two centuries ago
endures to this
day. Spanish moss
still hangs low
from the spreading
oak trees, the deep
waters of the Savannah
River still lazily
pass by, and the
sea breezes still
waft in from the
open ocean waters.
The classic beauty
of this old Southern
bastion has inspired
writers and artists
alike over the centuries.
Many films have
used Savannah as
a backdrop, most
notably the movie
"Midnight in
the Garden of Good
and Evil."
But
many residents and
visitors insist
that Savannah really
does have a "midnight
side" and that
it is a city still
holding onto its
past with a strong
grip. In fact, many
believe that some
of of its citizens
still feel the tug
of this gentle city
even from beyond
the grave.
In
Savannah you can
hear chilling, ghost-filled
tales on historical
walks into the city's
storied past; or
you can experience
first hand the "midnight
side" of this
Old Southern Lady
in one of her haunted
cemeteries or historic
residents. There
is a haunted train
ride and a horse-drawn
trolley tour through
the dark streets;
or visit a haunted
plantation and historic
locations where
soldiers of the
Civil War still
plan battles or
stand guard despite
the long passage
of time. You may
even want to experience
a ghost tour from
the seat of a real
hearse!
Savannah's
Fort Jackson is
the oldest standing
fort in Georgia.
The site where the
fort now stands
has been used since
the 1740's, and
has a rich history
relating to the
defense of Savannah
from earliest days
to the end of the
19th century. The
site was fortified
during the Revolutionary
War as an earthen
fort. The original
brick fort was begun
in 1808 and was
manned during the
War of 1812. During
the Civil War, Fort
Jackson was held
for a time by Confederate
forces until the
Old Southern Lady
made the acquaintance
of one W.T. Sherman.
Union soldiers took
the old fort and
held it until the
end of the war.
The fort is one
of Savannah's most
popular haunted
tourist attractions
with unmatched daytime
educational and
historical programs
and "after
hours" programs
for ghost hunters
of all ages.
Savannah's
Historic Railroad
Shops, Built on
the site of the
second bloodiest
battle of the great
Revolutionary War,
the shops were begun
in 1845. Thirteen
of the original
structures survive,
including the blacksmith
shop and the brick
mason shop. A National
Historic Landmark
since 1978, the
shops were used
in filming the movie
"Glory"
in 1988. The shops
are recognized by
the U.S. Department
of the Interior
as the most significant
complex of ante-bellum
railroad structures
to survive in the
United States. They
also serve as the
state of Georgia's
official railroad
museum.
The
Savannah History
Museum is Savannah's
only museum dedicated
to the history of
the whole coastal
community and is
located in the passenger
station of the Central
Railroad. Constructed
before the Civil
War, this building
is now one of Georgia's
43 National Historic
Landmarks and houses
a 20,000 square
foot exhibit area
with a variety of
exhibits reflecting
Savannah's history
from her founding
in 1733 to the present.
The museum is open
from 9:00 am to
5:00 pm daily.
These
are just some of the
options for the avid
ghost hunter and paranormal
enthusiast. Be sure
to explore every nook
and cranny of this
famous Southern city!

Haunted Charleston,
South Carolina
As
one of the most
venerable "Old
Ladies" of
the Confederacy,
Charleston, South
Carolina, has much
in common with its
haunted "sister
city" of Savannah,
Georgia.
Both
these cities were
pivotal in the Civil
War, with Charleston
perhaps the more
significant of the
two, at least to
invading Union soldiers
who saw her as the
Birthplace of the
Rebellion. The first
shot of the great
conflagration that
became the Civil
War was fired just
outside the city
at famous Fort Sumter,
and it was a shot
that has echoed
through all the
long years since.
Charleston
is filled with an
almost storybook
beauty. Classically
styled homes reminiscent
of the great plantations
still peek from
behind romantic
tangles of jasmine
and bougainvillea
or stand proudly
under the moss-hung
shadows of the great
old oaks. Its rich
history as one of
the great port cities
of the young republic
is readily explored
in the oldest sections
of this fabled Southern
town; centuries
of history have
drifted past her,
too, in the lazy
waters of the nearby
river which pirates
used to ply their
contraband trade
all along the coast
of the Eastern United
States.
In
the earliest days
of American colonies,
Charleston became
a haven for many
of Europe's persecuted
and deprived, especially
the French Huegenot
who fled the religious
persecution of the
French Civil War
and found a home
in the lush and
verdant acres of
what would become
Charleston. The
Huegenot Church
is one of the oldest
houses of worship
in America and can
still be visited
to this day.

At the height of
his power, in May
1718, Blackbeard
blockaded Charleston,
South Carolina for
a week. Shortly
afterwards the Queen
Anne's Revenge ran
aground and was
wrecked. Blackbeard
sailed on to Bath,
North Carolina which
was then the state
capital. The Governor,
Charles Eden (with
whom, it was rumoured,
Blackbeard was in
league) granted
him a pardon and
even officiated
at his wedding -
to what was reputed
to be his 14th bride!
SOME LOCALS SAY
HIS GHOSTLY HEAD
STILL HAUNTS THE
AREA!
No
event forged the
character of this
old city more than
the great rebellion
that was the American
Civil War, and seemingly
no event has supplied
more ghosts to the
streets and historic
areas of Charleston
than this dramatic
and tragic event.
Fort
Sumter is among
the most visited
historical sites
in the United States,
and is among the
most haunted sites
anywhere. Guided
tours are available,
and occasionally
after-hours tours
are offered. Many
visitors have reported
encounters with
the paranormal and
unexplained while
touring this fabled
location. Ghosts
of both Confederate
and Union soldiers
seem to be on eternal
sentry, and completely
unaware of each
others' presence,
as they walk the
stones of this old
bastion of war.
The first shot of
the Civil War was
fired here, and
it did not bode
well for the Federal
soldiers who were
stationed there.
In 1861 the Union
troops were forced
to surrender. In
1865 the fort was
occupied by men
of the famous 54th
Massachusetts (Colored)
Regiment who, under
the command of Bvt.
Brig. General Edward
N. Hallowell had
the distinction
of occupying many
of the famous "symbols"
of the rebellious
South. Hallowell,
in command of the
city from his quarters
at No. 8 Meeting
Street, placed his
colored infantry
in such significant
locations as Sumpter,
Morris Island, and
the infamous Battery
Wagner where the
regiment received
its trial by fire.
Many visitors to
some of the historic
sites that still
remain have reported
seeing the strong
and erect images
of these brave colored
soldiers to whom
victory over the
South meant so much
more. Others who
have visited the
area where Battery
Wagner once stood
have reported hearing
cries and explosions
coming to their
ears over the waves
under which the
old fort sank long
ago.
Many
of the oldest and
most famous buildings
in the old city
boast numerous hauntings
from all eras of
the city's past.
Church Street, Chalmers
Street, Queen Street,
old Meeting Street
-- in almost every
area of the old
town there are ghosts
to be found.
Paranormal
experiences occur
with such regularity
that many Charleston
residents are proud
to call Charleston
home. Charleston
offers historic
and haunted walking
tours, cemetery
tours, buggy and
trolley tours. Some
include tours of
underground passages
that criss-cross
the city: used by
pirates to transport
treasure long ago
and later by sympathetic
Southerners as passages
on the Underground
Railroad, this is
a Charleston "don't
miss." Boat
tours along the
historic waterways
also include numerous
tales of ghostly
paddlewheel steamers
and the wafting
strains of calliope
music from long
silenced pipes.
And there are any
number of graveyards
and cemeteries to
add to the overall
ghostly gallivanting
that is a highlight
of any visit to
this famous town.

Haunted San Francisco,
California
Haunted San Francisco
has many a said haunted
location from buildings
to cemeteries and
the most famous hot
spot of mystery Alcatraz
Prison. The now closed
prison ghost are not
so quiet, sounds of
ghostly footsteps
and the real sounds
of cell doors opening
and closing also echo
throughout the empty
haunted corridors.
Visitors, Tour guides,
and paranormal investigators
and workers have all
reported feeling many
localized "cold
haunted ghost spots"
in certain common
areas, and the feeling
that they are not
alone. EVP"S,
ghost photos and ghostly
encounters abound.
The prison on Alcatraz
Island, a lonely outcropping
in the middle of San
Francisco Bay, was
opened in 1933 as
a maximum-security
facility for America's
most dangerous criminals.
Among its most celebrated
internees were Chicago
crime boss Al Capone
and Robert "Birdman"
Stroud. Life on Alcatraz
was hard: Inmates
were lucky to spend
one hour a day outside
their cells, and those
so favored usually
spent the time breaking
rocks. Violating prison
rules could mean months
of solitary confinement,
sometimes in the Hole,
a tiny cell with no
light. The prison
was shut down in 1963,
and Alcatraz Island
became a national
park site. But the
building still stands,
and some of the poor
souls that served
time and died there
seem to be locked
forever behind its
dank walls.
Several
visitors have reported
hearing moans, agonized
cries and chains rattling
in cell blocks A,
B, and particularly
C. A psychic who visited
the site claimed to
identify the unruly
spirit of a man named
Butcher inhabiting
the place. Prison
records confirm that
Abie Maldowitz, a
mob hit man nicknamed
Butcher, was killed
by a fellow inmate
in the laundry area
of cell block C. The
D cell block is supposedly
haunted as well, with
visitors reporting
cold spots and the
sound of phantom banjo
music coming from
rooms that once housed
Al Capone.
Many a haunted building
and location will
tempt you to visit.
From San Francisco
Arts Institute often
said to be built on
a cemetery in the
early 1900's after
The great earthquake,
it is haunted by more
then a few hundred
said restless spirits.
San Francisco Art
Institute
Ghosts are also identified
with the Russian Hill
area several blocks
north of Nob Hill.
Some of these ghosts,
however, seem anchored
to earth not by honor
but by anger, a fury
engendered by the
violation of their
resting place. A cemetery
once occupied the
land here, but the
graves were moved
to make room for new
homes and office buildings.
Some of the displaced
spirits appear to
have attached themselves
to the tower at the
San Francisco Art
Institute on Chestnut
Street.
The institute was
built in the 1920s,
and its red-tiled
roofs and ochre-colored
walls distinguish
it as a fine example
of Spanish Revival
architecture. Its
tower, styled like
the bell towers
of the California
missions, has been
the site of several
strange encounters.
Early in its history,
a night watchman
with a room on the
top floor was surprised
to hear the street-level
doors he had locked
open and close.
Waiting fearfully,
he listened to footsteps
slowly ascend three
sets of stairs.
The door to his
room opened and
closed, but he saw
no one enter.
Some
years later, students
partying in a room
at the top of the
tower had a similar
experience. Eerie
lights are said to
flicker in the tower
at night, and power
tools used by sculptors
have inexplicably
turned on by themselves.
When the institute
was renovated in the
1960s, some construction
workers quit because
the site scared them,
and a series of near-fatal
accidents delayed
work for months.
Haunted
Golden Gate Park with
ghostly joggers and
strange paranormal
occurrences. The Golden
Gate Bridge connects
more than San Francisco
and Marin County;
it connects the world
of the living and
the dead. Since its
opening in 1937, the
4,200-foot suspension
bridge that spans
San Francisco Bay
has played dispassionate
host to more than
1,000 suicides.

The
Haunted Haight Walking
Tour is an evening
journey through the
local "haunts"
of San Francisco's
famous Haight-Ashbury
district. Your host,
a long time resident,
ghost historian, active
member of The American
Ghost Society &
founder of The San
Francisco Ghost Society
leads this two hour
walking tour and lets
you discover the many
ghosts, witches and
macabre history of
Haight-Ashbury. You
also learn what ghost
hunters do and all
about parapsychology!
Price includes a detailed
guidebook with map,
flashlight and "spooky"
goodie-bag filled
with tricks and treats!
Come join this unique
tour and learn all
about The Haight-Ashbury
like never before!
The bay's haunted
stories, however,
predates the actual
bridge. In the 1800s,
the clipper ship
Tennessee disappeared
into the dense fog
of Golden Gate Strait
and went down with
a full crew.
The phantom ship
has been sighted
by often many credible
witnesses over the
years since, often
seen passing below
the bridge. In 60
seconds, the ship
fades.
The
bay's choppy waters
have swallowed more
than sailors and
suicides. On Feb.
17, 1937, 10 construction
workers rode a falling
scaffold through
a safety net.
Atherton
Mansion, After her
husband died and
left her his vast
fortune, Dominga
de Goni Atherton
built the Atherton
Mansion at Octavia
and California streets
in the exclusive
Pacific Heights
district in 1881.
Dominga
lived there with
her son George,
an aimless bumbler,
and his wife Gertrude.
George was somewhat
of an embarrassment
to the socially
prominent Athertons,
and the two strong-willed
women with whom
he lived constantly
called his manhood
into question. That
is probably why,
in 1887, he accepted
an invitation to
sail to Chile. Ostensibly
he was going to
visit friends, but
in actuality he
sought to prove
his mettle and earn
a place of honor
in his family.
George Atherton developed
kidney problems during
the voyage and died.
The ship's captain
preserved George's
remains by storing
the body in a barrel
of rum, which was
shipped back to the
Atherton household
several weeks later.
George
was duly dried out
and buried, but
shortly thereafter,
his Ghost apparently
decided to avenge
itself on the women
who'd tormented
him in life. Dominga
and Gertrude reported
being awakened at
night by knocks
at their bedroom
doors and by a cold
and disturbing presence.
The phenomenon grew
so troublesome that
Dominga sold the
mansion and moved
out. Subsequent
tenants also have
been unsettled by
phantom knockings
and roaming cold
spots. A séance
conducted by a local
psychic identified
several spirits
active in the house,
including those
of George and Dominga.

DEVIL
BABY OF HULL HOUSE
Many
a tale of horror
is associated with
that of Jane Addam's
Hull House. Founded
by Jane Addams in
1889 on Chicago's
Near haunted West
side, this now world
famous social settlement
has become a museum
dedicated to Jane
Addams and her many
works. The house
is in a community
where, long ago,
immigrants fought
in the streets to
find their place
in Chicago. Hull
House is rumored
to be the most haunted
place in the area...
Some hear footsteps,
voices are often
heard, and a cold
touch or bump by
an unseen specter.
The stories told
time and again by
both staff and visitors.
The
most notorious inhabitant
of Hull House might
be the Devil Baby
of Hull House. That
is if, in fact,
one ever existed.
Even though Jane
Addams did everything
within her power
to persuade people,
both in person and
in print, that this
child was just myth,
to this day some
still believe the
Devil Baby remains
trapped in the attic
of Hull House.
Who
was the Devil Baby?
Legend
says it was a
child born to
a poor immigrant
mother. Her husband
himself called
Satan within their
walls by refusing
to permit her
to hang a picture
of the Virgin
Mary, stating
he would rather
share his home
with the devil.
Some say their
child -- born
deformed, scaled,
and sporting a
pointy tail --
was brought to
Hull House by
it's enraged father
when he could
no longer endure
the scorn of the
neighborhood.
Others feel that
the child might
have been just
a regularly deformed
child.
Regardless
of what people believe,
these rumors persevere
to this very day.
Some say that, if
you stand outside
and peer at the
attic windows of
Hull House, you
will see him.
Resurrection
Mary perhaps is
the most spoken
of ghost of Haunted
Chicagoland. Many
times a topic on
morning radio shows
across the country
and haunted tales.
Mary is said to
still be wandering
lost each night
on a stretch of
Archer Avenue.
Could
Resurrection Mary
be searching for
something unseen
amongst the living?
Or
is she just a lost
soul all dressed
up and no place
to go?
This
haunted Chicago
legend tells that
Mary was killed
by a passing car
while returning
from an evening
of dancing with
her boyfriend at
the O Henry Ballroom,
now known as Willowbrook.

Some
tell of a argument
between the two
lovers, Mary was
said to have stormed
out into the cold
winter's night and
her untimely death.
Many locals say
she died on the
spot others tell
that she died days
later. What ever
the case, her grieving
parents buried her
in Resurrection
Cemetery, dressed
in her new white
party dress and
dancing shoes. Since
that night when
she died in the
30's, numerous people
have witnessed Mary
roaming the road.
There have been
many haunted claims
of the young lost
woman in white hitching
a ride or two,from
many a passerby.
They pick her up
, she says hello
and thank you, then
only to vanish before
the drivers very
astonished eyes
at or before her
destination.

Haunted Miami, Florida
South
Beach, Florida,
is very well known
as a hot exciting
nighttime spot of
fun and mingling
with the rich and
famous. It's the
home of some famous
Haunted night clubs,
haunted hotels and
haunted bars that
are sure to provide
you with the live
and dead entertainment
you're looking for.
It also offers haunted
places that you
won't want to miss.
If you're going
to be in southern
Florida, you'll
certainly need to
stop in South Beach
to truly experience
all there is in
the region including
some great ghost
stories.

Haunted
South Beach is a
barrier island that
is surrounded by
Biscayne Bay on
one side and the
Atlantic Ocean on
the other. Once
a large coconut
plantation, John
S. Collins bought
the property in
hopes of building
a beautiful beach
town. Between the
20’s and 50’s
South Beach was
the gambling Mecca
of South Florida.
Prohibition
did not stop the
liquor from flowing
nor did it stop
the frequent visits
from the very notorious
gangster Al Capone.
The haunted buildings
that stand as silent
testament to the
Art Deco Style were
built in the 1930’s.
World War Two came
along and turned
the city virtually
into a city military
base. Since it’s
early days South
Beach has become
home to Cubans,
South Americans,
Europeans and many
retirees making
it one of the most
diverse Haunted
populations in the
world.
The
Biltmore Hotel (1926-1999)
In
its heyday, The Biltmore
played host to royalty,
both Europe's and
Hollywood's. The hotel
counted the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor,
Ginger Rogers, Judy
Garland, Bing Crosby,
Al Capone and assorted
Roosevelt's and Vanderbilt's
as frequent guests.
Fashion shows, gala
balls, aquatic shows
by the grand pool
and weddings were
de rigueur as were
world class golf tournaments.
A product of the Jazz
Age, big bands entertained
wealthy, well-traveled
visitors to this American
Riviera resort.
But
with the onset of
World War II, The
Biltmore was converted
to a hospital by
the War Department.
It served the wounded
as the Army Air
Forces Regional
Hospital. Many of
the windows were
sealed with concrete,
and the marble floors
covered with government
issue linoleum.
Also the early site
of The University
of Miami's School
of Medicine, The
Biltmore remained
a VA hospital until
1968. This is why
many of the haunted
reports keep flowing
in say many Paranormal
/ Ghost hunters.
In
1973, through the
Historic Monuments
Act and Legacy of
Parks program, the
City of Coral Gables
was granted ownership
control of The Biltmore.
Undecided as to
the structure's
future, The Biltmore
remained unoccupied
for almost 10 years.
Then in 1983, the
City oversaw its
full restoration
to be opened as
a grand hotel. Almost
four years and $55
million later, The
Biltmore opened
on December 31,
1987 as a first
class hotel and
resort. Over 600
guests turned out
to honor the historic
Biltmore at a black
tie affair.
Since
before it's restoration
in 1983, the Biltmore
Hotel has been known
for being haunted,
unexplained noises
on the 13th floor,
a ghostly girl out
on the golf course,
and restless spirits
from its time as

fables of Witchcraft
have taken so fast
hold and deep rooted
in the heart of
man, that if any

sickness, loss of
children, corn,
cattle or liberty
happen unto them,

draws back for a
brief span to open

realm of shadows,
mystery and ancient
magick, of the dead
and the dark Divine.

Apparently
the Witch Hysteria
was just a way to
get even and settle
old grudges with
your enemies, get
rid of competitors,
take over someone's
property and destroy
political opponents.They
even hung two dogs
for giving people
the "evil eye",
crushed one old
man to death under
heavy stones, over
a period of several
days, and hung the
other unfortunates
from a tree, on
the highest spot
overlooking old

On our “Vampire & Ghost Hunt Tour” in Salem we visit documented haunted locations that we have personally investigated, successfully capturing ghost images on film. We visit a haunted graveyard, an old, extremely haunted jail and the jail keeper’s house. We will take you to the site of the original “witch dungeon” from 1692, where those accused of witchcraft were incarcerated. We’ll also go by the house where the mysterious “woman in black” has made appearances for decades. And if time allows, we’ll stop by a notorious murder site from the 1830’s. We cannot enter these buildings as most of them are closed at night or privately owned. You will however have plenty of ghost photo opportunities at each location.
We encourage our tour guests to bring cameras (loaded with 400-speed film) to take your own ghost photos during this tour. We have posted some of our guest ghost photos on our web site. Many people have had strange and terrifying encounters with ghosts on this tour, including fainting, crying, throwing cameras at ghosts, or even screaming and running off into the night! The only guarantee we can give you is that all of the places we visit on this tour are still haunted and they continue to have a lot of paranormal activity!!!
Part of this tour includes the origin of vampire folklore and legends, the historical character known as Dracula, the superstitions about vampires in early New England settlements and burial practices to prevent vampirism in New England. We’ll tell you about the real “Dracula”. We’ll also tell you about documented early New England vampire cases. Are there really modern vampires? What is a true vampire today? Who are these “creatures of the night”? What about “vampire crimes”? You’ll find out on our nightly “Vampire & Ghost Hunt Tour”!!!
