6 of the scariest places in the US

In honor of Halloween, I have compiled a list of six of the scariest places in the US! If you are interested in the Paranormal, or even if you’re a non-believer and want to experience it for yourself, this is for you. Some of these places have even been explored by paranormal groups such as Ghost Adventures and Ghost Hunters.

#1-  Bobby Mackeys Music World
 


Located in Wilder, Kentucky Bobby Mackey’s Music World is one spooky place. In the basement in 1896 a woman named Pearl Bryan was killed during a botched abortion, she was just 22 years old. In the 50s, another pregnant lady killed herself and her unborn child, because her father had her child’s dad murdered. Bobby Mackey’s has tales, of murder, suicide, love, lust, and even satanic rituals, there’s more than just line dancing going on at Bobby Mackey’s Music World.


#2- Alcatraz




Located in San Francisco, California Alcatraz is the scariest prison in America. Alcatraz also known as "The Rock" was home to the worst of the worst; thieves’, rapist, and murders. Alcatraz also housed insane inmates, who eventually died within the prison. It is said that you can hear screams, feel cold spots, and even apparitions.

#3- Gettysburg, Peensylvania


A historical place, but also where thousands of soldiers lost their lives violently and tragically. In many parts of the town there have been multiple ghost sightings reported. With a huge battle and so many lives lost why, wouldn’t there be paranormal activity right? 

#4- Lizzie Borden House



On August 4, 1892, Mr. and Mrs. Borden were murdered in their home located in River, Massachusetts. Mr. Borden was found downstairs on the sofa, while Mrs. Borden was found in an upstairs bedroom; Lizzie Borden was accused of killing her father and step-mother. Lizzie was arrested but was later acquitted. Many still believed Lizzie was a murder, perhaps that why she haunts her old house. If you're brave, enough you can actually go and experience it for yourself the house it is a bed and breakfast museum. If interested just go to lizzie-Borden.com 


#5- Waverly Hills Sanatorium




Located in Louisville, Kentucky this old sanatorium was once home to thousands of Tuberculosis patients. It was closed to be renovated in 1961 then reopened in 1962, and then finally closed in 1980. It is said that more than 50,000 people died at the sanatorium. It's reported that you can hear screams, unexplainable noises and even an occasional apparition. They offer tours some for a few hours and some for a full night, so if you’re brave enough have fun. 


#6- The Stanley Hotel



In Estes Park, Colorado is the inspiration for Steven King's The Shinning. He got the idea after he stayed a couple of nights at the hotel right up until it closed. There are many reports about paranormal activity. Staff reported hearing parties going on in the ball room, while it was empty. They could hear the piano playing, and when someone went to check, obviously no one was actually playing it. Luggage and jewelry also go missing with no explanation as to where and who. Other reports include seeing apparition by beds, and other were an apparition would appear and then disappear just as fast. The Stanley Hotel offers tours, however you do need a reservation. Are you brave enough to spend a night at The Stanley?
