Five Supposedly Haunted Places (That i’ve been)
In honor of Halloween, here is a list of places i’ve been that are supposedly haunted
1. Winchester Mystery House-CA
It’s easy to get creeped out by this place even without seeing or experiencing anything. A house that was built by consulting with a psychic, it already has a strange vibe. This house is most famous for its strange layout. Stairs that lead up to a ceiling, doors that open up to walls, windows in the floor, a hidden “Seance room” and my personal favorite, the “Door to Nowhere”, which is a door that opens up to a 30 foot drop.
Creep Factor: 3
2. Saint Augustine Lighthouse-
Featured on “Ghost Hunters”, this place can be seriously creepy at night. For me, however, it was hard to stop long enough on the 100+ stairs up to seriously think about it. I was too distracted by my heart wanting to jump out of my chest for the hike. Not to mention that it was at that time that I discovered my slight fear of heights.
Creep Factor: 2
3. Ripley’s Believe or Not Museum-Saint Augustine, FL, several other locations
I have been to many different Ripley’s Museums, and they are ALWAYS creepy. However, this particular one is the original and so the supposedly “haunted”. Almost every night, you can pay to go on a “Ghost Train” tour of Saint Augustine and it ends in Ripley’s Museum. I didn’t really experience anything, but I certainly did get creeped out. The museum is good for that no matter what time of day or night.
Creep Factor: 4 (Purely for the stuff they have in there, made creepier in the dark)
4. Salem, Massachusetts
I put the town, cause lets face it, the whole town is supposed to be haunted. They play on the story of the Salem Witch Trials pretty much everywhere. Museums and graveyards are virtually on every other corner. We partook in a few different museums and I definitely got the creep factor from a few of them.

5. San Francisco (Nob Hill)-
While there are no gravesites in the city limits of San Francisco, you might find that it is MORE haunted because of that exact fact. They moved several different graves in the hopes that they would create more room for the growing city. There are also several different building built OVER ships that brought early settlers to the state. Add in the catacombs underneath the city and you have a recipe for a truly creepy place.
