If you don't find it, please post it here so that Scottk can add it.
Thanks guys,

Any haunted place?
Hey, great idea for a POI file. By "Haunted Houses" are you including just entertainment places (e.g. Haunted houses for the halloween season) or are you going to include, like the Lizzy POI, places that are supposed to be haunted even if they are not marketed that way or even open to the public normally?

Anything Halloween Related and more...
The file includes like you said entertainment places and also includes known haunted houses that can have tours or you can just drive up at night and look at them. For instance this file has the "Amittyville Horror" house in Long Island, NY in it. You can't tour it but as I did once drove up and looked at it. It gave off a very eery feeling. Anyway this file should include Haunted Houses, any type of ghost tours and it doesn't mean just for adults but for kids too, halloween themed restaurants, unique costume places etc.

Ghosts? I understand one
Ghosts? I understand one origin/explanation of ghosts is the appearance of Barn Owls. Picture this... you go into an abandoned house, a white object appears before your eyes.... it is soundless (as owls have special feathers that mute sound), and its eyes project forward like a human face..... and Barn Owls do NOT hoot, they screech!!!! Barn Owls are found throughout the world.
Perhaps we should put up abandoned houses that have Barn Owl inhabitants as well for this POI!!!

Winchester Mystery House San Jose, CA
Winchester Mystery House
525 S Winchester Blvd
San Jose, CA 95128
In 1884, a wealthy widow named Sarah L. Winchester began a construction project of such magnitude that it was to occupy the lives of carpenters and craftsmen until her death thirty-eight years later. The Victorian mansion, designed and built by the Winchester Rifle heiress, is filled with so many unexplained oddities, that it has come to be known as the Winchester Mystery House.
Sarah Winchester built a home that is an architectural marvel. Unlike most homes of its era, this 160-room Victorian mansion had modern heating and sewer systems, gas lights that operated by pressing a button, three working elevators, and 47 fireplaces. From rambling roofs and exquisite hand inlaid parquet floors to the gold and silver chandeliers and Tiffany art glass windows, you will be impressed by the staggering amount of creativity, energy, and expense poured into each and every detail.
Very interesting............
The Winchester Mystery House was also built to keep spirits at bay, It has doorways and stairways to no ware to confuse the spirits. And the reason why she had carpenters there working on the house every day was to keep the activity going as to keep the spirits away!
