Happy Halloween!




Besides being The Weekend of The Fall (Gator fans, get out), it's Halloween! I've already celebrated the Day of the Dead by watching Mexican folk dancers at the Met. To get you in a spooky mood for tonight, I have a list of some of the most haunted places (besides Transylvania) in the world. Been to any?

ALCATRAZ, San Francisco
- As a child, I was terrified of this place, especially because of an ill-timed viewing of "The Rock" right before our trip.

AOKIGAHARA FOREST, Japan

BANNERMAN'S ISLAND, New York

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, South Africa

CATACOMBS, Paris

EDINBURGH CASTLE, Scotland
- Visited on an especially gloomy Scottish day and was sufficiently scared.

GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD, Pennsylvania

HIGHGATE CEMETERY, London
-A vampire allegedly haunts this place!

LALAURIE HOUSE, New Orleans
-The title of The Most Haunted House in New Orleans must mean it's incredibly frightening.

LIER SYKEHAUS, Norway
- An abandoned mental hospital where they performed lobotomies, it's not open to the public. Um, that's scary.


ROSE HALL PLANTATION, Jamaica

THE TOWER OF LONDON, London
-Been here probably half a dozen times, each on a glum day, which is spooky enough for me.

WHALEY HOUSE, San Diego
