Cool post, and thanks for that link.  I read about some in my area that I didn't know about, and there are plenty of others not mentioned on that site, too.  Spooky!!

Rich - I've heard of a fabulous spook in Silverdale with the initials RJ

Dena - remember this site is limited, you never know.

Linda - loved your blog, thanks for the link

Ann- I wonder how they put this site together, it's very complete.

I have a pretty freaky listing now that gives me chills everytime I go in - off I go to show it.

Glad to see my home town of East Lyme, CT is not listed.  Interesting post.

It's funny to see what kind of response I've gotten from this post.  I guess we all love the SPOOKY!  Thanks for visiting Teri and Philip.

I checked out my area and didn't know there were so many haunted places. Of interest, I saw a place mentioned and I know that developers are trying to purchase the property and build condos. I think I'll stay away. I'll sacrifice any probable commissions and to have NO spooks coming after me!

Wasn't Pet Cemetery based on construction on top of an indian burial ground?  That's pretty freaky Peter.

Great Post!  I am more afraid of the living that I am of the dead. Ha, Ha.

I totally agree with you Rosa Elena - The living can sometimes be very SCARY!
Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago

Wow...what Cool post.  I knew about some of them in my area but read about others. Thanks so much for the link.

Fortunately in Hawaii we are not required by law to disclose ghosts. 

But as a matter of practice it may be considered a material fact, so it is best to disclose. 

If you noticed the list in Hawaii was quite large.

Have Fun!

Thanks for the comment Randy - I had to go back and check Hawaii, that would be pretty funny if we had to disclose ghosts and then call "ghostbusters" or even better, a "ghost inspector".

My father haunts houses I live in.  He was a real pain in the *ss about a decade ago.  He stayed behind in one place and freaked out the tenants that move in after I sold.  They called me and asked me if I had ever seen anything strange.  They invited him to leave and gave him my new address. 

I cooked Pan de Muertos for him this year and asked him to lay off, he's freeking the kids out.

Talk about a new twist on hanted houses - "my father haunts houses I like in" - You are so funny Chris
Posted by Rick & Ines - Miami Beach Real Estate (Majestic Properties) over 3 years ago
What is Pan de Muertos? I have never heard of it before, and I am Latina.
Posted by Rosa Elena Martinez CIPS, RECS, ePro,WCR (Realty Associates) over 3 years ago

I think it's a traditional Mexican bread made on "El dia de los muertos", maybe Chris can confirm this.

Michigan definitely has a bunch of haunted towns. There are even a few "ghost towns" ( abandoned towns) that are supposed to be haunted! In the book Haunted Michigan, there are so many stories from one county, it makes me believe there are even haunted counties! You can check out all the true ghost stories by getting it on the witch house books website.

It is time again to re do this blog Halloween is comming soon, cann't wait to see more of your haunted houses, I hope you guys are doing well, I haven't been around for a while spent most of this year traveling.  I love your post so came back to see it again, to get in the Halloween mood.

So many of these places mentioned here were part of my normal everyday life...I lived in so many of the neighborhoods where the haunted places are at in Los Angeles...and I even attended one of the haunted high schools and the area they mention IS haunted, Belmont High School..the theater. I was in the theater academy and changing costumes in the changing rooms was always a creepy experience, even in the middle of the afternoon. Even backstage where all the light switches are at, and above the stage, where the curtains are controlled, it always just seemed creepy.
