The spooky season is among us. Sure Pennsylvania has a bunch of great haunted attractions, but did you know that we also have real-deal haunted places? It’s true.
There are certain areas of Pennsylvania that are rumored to be haunted. People have even reported seeing ghosts at these spots. I’m terrified of real-life ghosts, so I will be avoiding these areas, but there are plenty of ghost hunters who will want to check these spots out. I’ve even heard of ghost hunters carrying around devices to sense energy, and the idea is that the area with a spike of energy could mark the place of a ghost. I actually purchased one of these devices for an unrelated reason, but then read online that it’s a popular ghost busting device. Strange.
The crew at VisitPa.com have put together a list of the most haunted areas in the Keystone State. It’s not exactly science, but they were able to determine areas in Pennsylvania that have experienced the most ghost sightings and rumors. VisitPA.com is the official tourism website of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, so they are obviously very familiar with the state. “With a past that dates back to the early 1600s, Pennsylvania teems with historic sites known for paranormal activity and unexplained happenings,” they state. “Check out these spooky locales where you’ll discover fascinating history – and possibly a ghostly encounter.”
Here’s a look at the entire list of the areas of Pennsylvania that have the most possibility for you to run into Casper. Also, when it comes to the fake stuff, as in hautned attractions that are not really haunted in real life, check out Bates Motel in Glen Mills (What’s not to love about a Hitchcock-inspired haunted attraction?) and Field of Screams in Mountville.
