New Orleans is said to be the most haunted city in the United States. While on Haunted History Tours: New Orleans Ghost Tour, you will see the Haunted Mansion on Royal Street, where the victims of criminal Delphine LaLaurie are said to still scream and cry at night. This is one of the top ghost tours in the U.S., so visit the home on Dauphine Street and hear the story of the Sultan’s ghost. If it’s a rainy evening, listen closely for the sound of Pere Dagobert, the French monk whose singing is said to haunt New Orleans rain.
Harpers Ferry WV
Ghost Tours of Harpers Ferry is the oldest ghost tour in America, having scared the pants off visitors for more than 40 years. This pretty town West Virginia changed hands eight times during the Civil War, and it was the site of the critical Battle of Harpers Ferry. On this popular ghost tour, you’ll hear about St. Peters Catholic Church, once a hospital for wounded soldiers. People today say they still hear the words of a wounded soldier, saying “Thank God I am saved” coming from the church’s threshold. See if you can spot the lights twinkling on Maryland Heights at night, said to be the ghostly campfires of the One Hundred Day Men, all killed in an explosion in 1861.

Site of the shootout at the O.K. Corral, and the world famous Boot Hill Cemetery, the Tombstone Gunfighter and Ghost Tour takes you to the ten most haunted places in this one tiny near-ghost town. The sights include the corner of Fifth and Allen Streets, where more than 30 gunfighters lost their lives, and the Bird Cage Theater, which is said to be the most haunted building in the country, home to the spirits of showgirls and cowboys and the 14 people who were shot to death inside. This lore makes it part of one of the top 10 ghost tours in the U.S. Don't laugh but I myself heard the unmistakeable "chink" sound of spurs while wandering about. When I turned to look for the actor that had made the sound there was no one to be found.
New York City
For every New York neighborhood you care to explore, there are ghosts and chilling ghost stories. Go to the East Village and search for the ghosts of Edgar Allan Poe and Harry Houdini. Ghost hunt in Greenwich Village with the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt. Head to Brooklyn Heights in search of the ghosts of Walt Whitman and Jackie Robinson or wander Lower Manhattan looking for the spirits of Captain Kidd and Alexander Hamilton. New York may, indeed, be the city that never sleeps; and after one of these terrifying tours, you may understand why it’s one of the top 10 ghost tours in the U.S.
Hearse Ghost Tours lets you actually ride around town in a hearse. Savannah’s Historic District is full of beautiful and stately old homes; but apparently, many of them are haunted! You’ll visit the Pirate’s House on Broad Street, which is one of the oldest buildings in Savanna, and you’ll hear about drunk and bullying ghosts spotted in the basement and on the second floor. You’ll also see the Olde Pink House, where the ghosts of its former owner and some its former slaves are still said to roam.
