The Queen Anne Hotel, San Francisco, California


In 1890, the Queen Anne hotel in San Francisco was an etiquette school for girls. Today, it has 48 rooms for guests to stay in, though some believe the ghost of Miss Mary Lake, the school's headmistress, still lingers. Guests who stay in room 410, Miss Mary Lake’s former office, have woken up to find their blankets closely tucked around them in bed or their clothes unpacked.

Adam Thoroughgood House, Virginia Beach, Virginia

Dating to about 1720, although previously thought to be much older, this quaint brick cottage was once the home of Adam Thoroughgood, a successful tobacco farmer and businessman.  While it has had a rather uneventful history over the past three centuries, activity within the house hasn’t been so quiet.  Two apparitions are commonly sighted here, one being a man and the other a woman, both in 18th century attire.  The woman has been known to carry candles through the house while the man is simply observed passing from room to room, perhaps looking for something.  A large group of visitors even witnessed the sudden movement of inanimate objects.

The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia was designed to house 250 patients when it opened in 1864. Fast forward to the 1950's, when the facility reached its peak and had more than 2,400 patients living in overcrowded and inhumane conditions — some even kept in cages. In 1994, the asylum closed, and today, there are reports of paranormal activity, with souls of patients lingering and roaming the halls. You can do an overnight ghost hunt tour from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. at the Asylum, a two-hour paranormal tour from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., or a 90-minute day tour.
