Frightfully good times
Does the Halloween season put you in the mood for a good scare? Here's a few places you might want to visit, if you dare, mwahahaha!
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Though paranormal activity spikes on the anniversary of the battle in early June, Gettysburg's ghosts make themselves known year-round. Take a tour of some of the more haunted places with The Ghosts of Gettysburg, or Gettysburg Ghost Tours. My sisters and I were able to capture orbs on our digital cameras. Unfortunately, that was a few years, and another computer ago, so my photos are buried somewhere beyond as well. The Gettysburg Paranormal Association promises a more intense experience!
Here's a video of an alleged sighting in Gettysburg. Watch the far end of the lane. You decide if it's real!
Click the Full Screen button at the bottom right of the video for a better view, the spirits are tiny otherwise. :)
Salem, Massachusetts
My sisters went without me! Someday I'll visit, too, though. If Gettysburg is associated with ghosts, the very name Salem immediately brings witches to mind.
In Salem, they celebrate Halloween all month long (like my blog!) so you have plenty of opportunities to take part in the fun. Check out the event listings at Haunted Happenings, or Festival of the Dead, or Salem Halloween City, which looks like Halloween central!
For a more historical take, visit the Witch Dungeon Museum, Salem Witch Museum or the Witches Cottage.
