It is a quiet neighborhood, nestled close to an antebellum home called Glenburnie, the only remaining structure from a time now since past.

Charleston has everything a fright seeker desires; from special ghost tours, costume hoe-downs, extravaganzas and more, there’s something guaranteed to chill every bone!”

The house has been turned into a museum, but it seems that the little girl who once lived there has not moved on. There have been lots of accounts of toys being moved, the sounds of a small child crying and apparently alot more. And none of it can be explained. Could little Jessie be […]

Britt’s Tour of the South - Day 6: A Shiver Down Your Spine Kind of Day

A whole day devoted to scaring the crap out of you. I can’t think of a better way to experience all that Little Rock has to offer then to spend a day seeking out the local ghosts. A city with as much history as Little Rock does, it should be no trouble finding something that […]

“Pay a visit to Key West’s singularly eccentric cemetery and you’ll discover that island residents can be just as quirky and entertaining in death as they are when they’re still breathing.”
Now from what I can tell from my stats, you want more haunted stuff and a cemetary fits in quite nicely. I have wandered through […]
