Haunted Houses And Ghost Tours

I am afraid of Ghosts. LOL

The house where Lizzie Borden's parents were murdered is now a museum/bed and breakfast. People who have stayed there (including a crew from the History Channel) report unusual happenings.

Nomad, I have added your location and also added a few more, thanks!

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?

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.

FYI,

There are two files that have similar data for Chicago:

I am not sure if you want to combine the data into one.

That location (Eastern State Penitentary) is already in the existing file but thanks anyway.

So you will put in the ones that come along around Hollween? I will give you a feww as I hear of them.. I will send you the place, times open and if possable, the Amount to get in if you like..

At least for NY area.. My kids love them and take them to have some fun.. Remimber one is 6 flags..

let me know what your looking for and I will love to help ya with this one.

post any locations that you would like to see in the file right here or you can email me through POI factory. Looking forward to your additions.

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!!!

Special tours on halloween (some people claim the "special" tours are more expensive and more rushed). Still, a fascinating place to visit.

Thank you k6rtm, your entry has been added to the POI file. We now have 141 entries.

Sweet! That's an awesome idea for my favorite holiday.

Scottk, I noticed you have the Amityville horror House in NY with an Address of 112 Ocean Ave Long Island, NY It is actually 112 Ocean Ave., Amityville, NY 11701 They are two different locations, pretty close to one another though! And the House isn't the one they actually used in the movie, that one is in Toms River, NJ If you would like the address I will get it for you!

Thanks for the correction, I updated the address but got the same coordinates. This location is the actual house were the Lutz's lived. If you would like to get the coordinates for the house they used in the movie I will be happy to add it to the file, thanks!

Here is the Address and coordinates for the Amityville movie house:

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.

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!
