Tis the season for all things spooky and creepy. We’ve been compiling the best Haunted Places and Ghost Tours Near You and have arranged destinations by state.

There are so many places to see and ghosts to hunt!

This is a subject I’ll never tire of writing about. T

hat being said, I’m still buried under about 10-15 more articles on my docket to write.

Be sure to pin this post and check back often for updates.

Dress like a ghost and walk through a field carrying a lantern.

Make sure to take family “ghost” photos this spooky season!

The list is broken down by region and then by state. Click the table of contents to see jump to your region.

So many haunted places throughout the U.S. so little time. Every year I add more and more places to my list to explore. Some day I’ll get all these stories written. In the meantime, enjoy finding haunted places near you.

Oh, and don’t forget to grab some ghost hunting equipment to take with you if you’re participating in a paranormal investigation. It’s so much better to have your own.
