Once a year, ghouls and ghosts come out to play as everyone gets in the spirit (ahem) of Spooky Season. If you’re a Halloween devotee and brave enough to venture to the spots where things go hump in the night, here is a list of must-visit places.
Salem, Massachusetts
The history of Salem has been linked to witches since the 1600s when the infamous Salem witchcraft trials occurred. Although it is a dark past where many innocent women were prosecuted, the town has embraced its history and features tourists spots like the Salem Witch Museum and haunted tours.
Sleepy Hollow, New York
If you’ve read the tales of Sleepy Hollow (or seen the movie), you’ll understand why it’s on this list. The village is regarded as one of the “most haunted places in the world” and naturally has a variety of Halloween activities. Be sure to check out the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery; you may just spot the Headless Horseman…
New Orleans, Louisiana
Known for its history of voodoo, NOLA is the perfect place to spend All Hallows Eve. The city is swamped (forgive us) with ghost tours and other spooky haunts, as well as parades and parties that will have you celebrating way past the witching hour.
