Spooky season is here. So where should you travel if you want to see the most haunted places in America?
“Forgotten and crumbling on the outskirts of what is widely considered one of America’s most haunted towns, the 90,000 square feet of Beach Army Hospital once served as the training ground for soldiers preparing to deploy in the Vietnam War,” says Olivares. “It was left abandoned shortly after the conflict’s completion.
As its antiquated architecture might suggest, Carbon County Jail was the original prison building for the town of Jim Thorpe,” says Olivares. “Its most well-known, albeit cruel, claim to fame in the history books is referred to as ‘The Day of the Rope.’ A day in 1877 that saw the hanging of 10 men in the prison’s gallows and which many point to as the cause for the jails haunting to this very day.
“Phantom Wines is more than an award-winning wine brand with a hauntingly wondrous brand backstory. It’s a picturesque vineyard in Northern California’s wine country that actually boasts a legitimate degree of supernatural activity that’s become recognized nationwide—the entity behind it all being known only as ‘The Phantom,’” says Gossel.
“Cloaked in the fog and mists that Hot Lake Reservoir has become known for lies the Hot Lake Lodge,” says Gossel. “A dance hall turned hotel turned sanitarium turned hotel once more, the lodge has developed a global namesake as being a place of rejuvenation and relaxation—a curious thing, given its somewhat sordid past as a treatment center for a tremendously deadly disease.”“Perhaps the hotel’s history is to blame for the paranormal activity staff and guests have witnessed,” says Gossel.
