Eleven 'Real' Haunted Houses to Visit – If You Dare!The Myrtles Plantation (Louisiana): Though it is claimed a staggering 10 murders occurred in the house and on the grounds of The Myrtles Plantation, actually only one is confirmed. The house is also said to be haunted by a former black slave in a green turban named “Chloe,” but the ghost is actually that of a French governess who lost her ears to frostbite. Nevertheless, there are reports of ghostly activity that you can check out for yourself because the 18th-century plantation home is now operated as a bed-and-breakfast.

The Arnold Estate (Rhode Island): The last words the previous owner said to the Perron family as they moved into their new, spacious Rhode Island home were, “Leave the lights on at night.” From that moment, the Perrons endured 10 years of hauntings so chilling they became the basis for a movie, The Conjuring. Some spirits were kindly, sweeping the kitchen every week, while others were malicious, attacking – and even possessing – Mrs. Perron. The eldest daughter, Andrea, explained, “Eight generations of one family lived and died in that house prior to our arrival ... some of them never left.”

Ashmore Estates (Illinois): Ashmore Estates, a former poorhouse and later a mental facility in Illinois, stood abandoned for decades. Some believe it was once the meeting place for a Satanic cult. Others say they’ve heard disembodied voices, felt hot and cold spots, and even seen full-bodied apparitions. Still others claim they’ve run into Elva Skinner, the spirit of a young girl who tragically died there more than a century ago. Visitors’ experiences differ, but all agree on one thing – this building is massively haunted.
Rowan Oak (Mississippi): Famed writer William Faulkner is said to haunt his former residence in Oxford. The Greek Revival house was built in the 1840s and is now a National Historic Landmark. If you take a trip to see Faulkner’s famous homestead, you might just spy his ghost wandering the grounds – or even writing on the walls.
Pittock Mansion (Oregon): This 22-room French Renaissance-style chateau in Portland sounds like the ideal site for a horror movie and for good reason – several films have been shot here. Although random apparitions are said to materialize, they seem to be happy. In fact, many people would even say one of the mysterious presences – a strong scent of roses – is actually a blessing. Continued below. |

The Villisca Axe Murder House (Iowa): In 1912, this Iowa home was the site of a gruesome axe murder that took the lives of eight people in their sleep, six of them children. At the time, the police had no protocol for criminal investigations of this nature and allowed city residents to walk about the house where the corpses lay. In the more than 100 years that followed, people have heard children crying and seen doors opening and shutting on their own. Neighbors have watched multiple tenants flee, terrified in the middle of the night, never to return.

I'm glad people are beginning to realize that the ghost in the green turban is the spirit of a white governess who haunted The Myrtles long before the politically correct owners of the house turned her into a frigging slave whose ears were cut off by her evil master. It's really getting bad when even ghost stories must be PC and include blacks, slavery and other such crap. It gets cold enough to freeze your ears off in Louisiana? |
