Many of us would actually like to believe in such things as ghosts, no matter how scary the concept might be on the surface. Why? Because it raises the possibility of each of us also going on to an afterlife in some capacity, which is a comforting concept for many people, even if it meant doing so in a non-corporeal form, all but unable to communicate with the land of the living.

That’s why real-life tales of hauntings, such as the one famously recounted in The Amityville Horror novel and movie are equal parts horrific and intriguing, with that house on 112 Ocean Avenue in Long Island, New York becoming a famous tourist destination. As legendary as it is, that house did not make our list, as there has been no reported paranormal activity within the house since the Lutz family moved out of it after 28 days of terror in 1975.

Whether you believe or not, the most haunted places in America are filled with reportedly true ghost stories passed down through time that are fascinating and frightening, if nothing else.
