Villisca Axe Murder House

12 Most Haunted Houses in America

"Scene of a brutal 1912 ax massacre that left an entire family and two visiting children dead, the house remains a focal point for unresolved mystery—several suspects were considered, but no one was ever convicted. The lingering sense of injustice fuels reports of restless spirits, and the site now offers tours and overnight stays for visitors brave enough to seek out any supernatural activity firsthand." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
