Whaley House Museum

12 Most Haunted Houses in America

"Built on the spot where James “Yankee Jim” Robinson was hanged in 1852, the site is famed for reports of his stomping footsteps as well as apparitions of the Whaley family, a young girl, and even the family dog. Its reputation was strong enough that the U.S. Commerce Department officially classified it as haunted in the 1960s. Visitors can experience the house via guided tours—including night tours offered by Ghosts and Gravestones—for those seeking a genuinely spooky paranormal encounter." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
