Ghosts, goblins, freaks and frights—spooky season is officially here! And what would Halloween be without a few scary stories? Well, if you’re a lover of travel and all things creepy, here’s a list of our favorite, can’t-miss haunted places from Shaka Guide’s tour catalogue!

1. The House Where Salem’s Spirits Still Linger

Salem, MA

Witch Trial Judge Jonathan Corwin lived here—the man who questioned and condemned the accused. Step inside today and you’ll find creaking floors, dim rooms, and the weight of history. Some even say the whispers of those who never found justice still linger in the shadows.

2. A Valley Home to Hawaii's Night Marchers

Big Island, HI

Waipio Valley is said to be a pathway for the Night Marchers, ghostly warriors who appear in torchlit processions under the moon. Locals say if you hear distant drums here at night, don’t look — and never stand in their path. This isn't the only spot where Night Marchers are said to roam. They also frequent spots like Mackenzie State Park on the Big Island and the Pali Lookout on Oahu, just to name a few. 

3. The Ghost Who Never Left Gettysburg

20-year-old Jennie Wade was the only civilian killed during the Battle of Gettysburg. The home where she died is preserved as the Jennie Wade House Museum, and it’s possible that Jennie’s spirit never left. Visitors and guides tell of doors opening on their own, and even the scent of Jennie’s fresh bread drifting through empty rooms.

4. Whispers of the Founding Spirits

Boston Freedom Trail, MA

Granary Burying Ground is the final resting place of patriots like Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams. Some visitors claim to see ghostly figures in colonial dress or hear disembodied voices at dusk. Could it be the restless Revolutionaries who refuse to be silenced?

5. The Headless Bride who Haunts the Halls

Guests and staff at the Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park tell tales about the Headless Bride, a spirit said to roam the upper floors in a white gown, carrying her own head in her hands.
