Paranormal adventures aren’t only a Hollywood factor. Some vacationers are obsessive about them too, keen to identify the unsettled spirits of the not-quite-departed-enough and listen to haunting tales of, nicely, hauntings.
To slake that thirst, Journey and Leisure, the journey journal and web site, is providing up its personal tackle the 20 most haunted cities within the U.S. We’re not speaking single-ghost locations like Lizzie Borden’s home in Fall River, Massachusetts. These are complete cities brimming with spooky sightings.
San Francisco, for instance, makes the listing within the No. 15 spot due to its abundance of ghosts on Alcatraz Island, the journal notes, in addition to at China Camp State Park (ahem, not SF — it’s in San Rafael) the Mare Island Shipyard (once more, not SF — Vallejo ) and aboard the united statesHornet, which is in Alameda. There have been so many ghost sightings on the latter ship, Cal Tech has an complete net web page dedicated to the tales.
The legendary metropolis of New Orleans tops the listing with its vampires, ghosts and sightings of long-gone luminaries — writer William Faulkner, midwife and Voodoo queen Marie Laveau and pirate Jean Lafitte amongst them.
