In the name of Halloween

So over here in London they just don't do Halloween exactly right and I am feeling a little bummed about it. So in honor of Halloween (and travel) I am going to head to the Tower of London sometime in the next week to see if I can find a ghost, specifically the ghost of Anne Boleyn. She was the original bitch and apparently she is still around. I feel like we are destined to meet.


But since October is obviously not high tourist season, check out these creepy places in the good ol' U. S. of A.

1. Gettysburg Battlefield, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania - Over ten thousand men died in the battle of Gettysburg. Located in Pennsylvania, the battlefield is now a national historical site. My Dad drove through Gettysburg in the middle of a blizzard and swears he felt something.

2. The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado - Stephen King wrote The Shining based on this place. CREEEPY

3. Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania- Lots of people die in jails, and they stick around.

4. The Winchester Mystery house, San Jose, California- Mental illness, money, guns, and ghosts...can't go wrong

5. Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast, Fall River, Massachusetts- Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks When she saw what she had done She gave her father forty-one.
