Whether you’re getting down with the spooks of Savannah or the phantoms of Philadelphia, there are ghoulish Halloween thrills to be had all over the US.

Visit the ghosts and gravestones of Boston, where you’ll hear about (or – who knows? – maybe meet) The Boston Strangler, and visit the resting place of Paul Revere and other Revolutionary heroes. There are more illustrious ghouls in Philadelphia, where history comes alive at night. Learn about the dancing statue of Benjamin Franklin and see where The Sixth Sense and other chilling films were made.

Ghostly gusts swirl through the Windy City as you board a speedboat and learn about Chicago’s paranormal happenings. Your heart will be racing as you speed along Lake Michigan discovering the city’s dark side. Or do you dare disturb the spirits of San Francisco’s Chinatown? Expert guides explain the history of this fascinating district as they lead you down its streets and alleys, where offerings are still made to the gods of the old country.

Doing what: New Orleans Garden District Ghost Tour

One of the best tours ever. Our guide, Carla Boullion was not only entertaining but also an incredible wealth of inforamtion and full of local color. I still cannot shake some of the ghost stories she shared with us. I highly recommend this experience.

Meanwhile in the South, the restless undead of Memphis are waiting for you; join a walking tour and see if you can outpace the damned as you visit the Orpheum Theater, Cotton Row and Handy Park. Or hop on a Segway to hear about the ghosts which haunt Peachtree Street and other parts of Atlanta to this day. The “trolley of the doomed” takes you through the extensive historic district of Savannah, where good and evil battle it out in midnight gardens. Could this be America’s most haunted city?

Or is it New Orleans? At night the Big Easy becomes the Big Uneasy; join a walking tour where you might hear the infamous “singing rain” or encounter the spirits which haunt the Bourbon Orleans Hotel. Continue on into the Garden District where creepy Victorian mansions abound with wraiths, poltergeists and chilling apparitions. Finally, steel yourself for a walk through St. Louis No. 1 Cemetery, where Marie Laveau, the “Voodoo Queen of New Orleans”, continues to work her magic from beyond the grave.
