12 Most Haunted Houses in America

"The imposing Victorian home built by a controversial 19th-century owner is tied to a series of tragic and mysterious family deaths that sparked rumors of foul play and long-simmering local legends. Over the years, ownership changes and sensational claims—including allegations of hidden human remains discovered in the walls—have reinforced its reputation.
