New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans is known for its amazing parties. While most people associate the town with its Mardi Gras celebration, what many don’t know is that New Orleans is also a great place to celebrate all things spooky. In fact, New Orleans is considered one of the spookiest cities in America thanks to its haunted hotels. If you’re looking to attend a haunting celebration, head to New Orleans and join in the official “Krewe of Boo” parade or take one of the many ghost tours available in the historic French Quarters.
Salem, Massachusetts
Known for its famous witch trials back in 1692, it should come as no surprise that Salem is bustling with all things haunting and scary this time of year. If you’re looking to experience real-life holiday magic, Salem is the place to go! This creepy town offers the Salem Witch Museum, Halloween festivals, ghost tours, and all sorts of other spooky favorites for all the witchy people in your life to enjoy.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
If you’re someone who loves anything and everything haunted, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Philadelphia this spooky season. The now abandoned Eastern State Penitentiary is allegedly one of the most haunted places in the world. When you head to the city, you have the opportunity to take a night tour aptly called “Terror Behind the Walls.” This unique tour gives you a look into the lives of the prisoners who used to live there, but the most haunted part of all is solitary confinement. We won’t spoil any surprises, but if you’re someone who believes in paranormal activity, this is a must-see!
Sleepy Hollow, New York
Simply the name of Sleepy Hollow is enough to sound spooky, but if you’re really looking for a spooktacular event this fall, you can’t go wrong with this quaint village in Westchester County. Even if you’ve never visited Sleepy Hollow, it’s likely you’ve heard of the name, and that’s because it is home to the well-known author Washinton Irving and his tale of the Headless Horseman. When you visit this town, you’ll have the opportunity to discover the Horseman’s Hollow attraction, as well as tour a spooky cemetery at night with only the light of a lantern to guide you.
