With Halloween upon us it is only fitting that the Halloween blogging festivities continue! Here is the Travel Channels top ten creepiest places. Just reading about some of these gave me shivers..... enjoy!
#10: The Bermuda Triangle
A vast space where unexplained disappearances happen, this place frightened me as a child and perplexes me as an adult.
Here is a website dedicated to the phenomenon of the triangle.

#9: Haunted Hollywood, CA
(picture by sexyaleksey)This includes several supernatural hot spots, including the Roosevelt Hotel where Marilyn Monroe and others supposedly haunt. There is also the Queen Mary, the Hollywood Cemetery and homes of former stars that have been said to be haunted.

#8: Tower of London
(picture by hi-fi-killer)Anne Bolyn, King Henry VIII's beheaded wife, is said to haunt here, as the white tower is where her remains lay. They say she wanders around the white tower with her head tucked under her arm. There are other haunts there as well, so much so that a security guard back in the 1800's died of fright. Yikes!
#7: Mütter Museum of Medical History
(picture by brandozim)A medical museum in Philadelphia, this place is filled with the most disturbing medical oddities. I am including a link below with pictures and warning you to view at your own discretion, as there are some very disturbing images.

#6: Gettysburg, PA
(picture by misaki-chi)Of course the location of the deadliest battle during the civil war in terms of causalities is going to be listed. Haunts include voices and ghosts and even a tour including an opportunity to make contact. Weird.

#5: New Orleans, LA
(picture by SalemCat)This picture was taken from the
Haunted Mortuary. There were too many things haunting New Orleans to list.
#4: Salem, MA
(picture by DethEternl of the Haunted Jail)Boy does this town seem to play to their witch burning heritage. Here is a link to the story of 'The Curse of Giles Corey'. Their witch parties look like fun now that they aren't burning them at the stake.
#3: Roswell, NM
Not quite sure why this made number 3 on the list. Sure, the whole aliens landed and the government is covering it up is a bit unsettling, but I'd say a few of these other places make me feel creeped out more than this. Maybe it is just me.
#2: Winchester Mystery Home
(picture by Green-Ash)Such an odd story. Wife of rifle maker, Winchester, her husband and daughter died and left with a fortune and the ghosts of people killed by Winchester guns she was told to continuously build a house to appease the ghosts that plagued her. A very strange house with doors and stairs to nowhere. Crazy much?

#1: Lizzie Borden Bed-and-Breakfast
This place evidently reeks of ghostly experiences. The owners were said to be murdered by their own daughter, Lizzie, who most say got away with murder when she was found innocent. Voices and ghastly images, not to mention full on conversations with ghosts happen here. I don't know why this part creeps me out, but it does, you can even stay the night and have the same last meal as the Borden's had of bananas, johnnycakes, sugar cookies and coffee. Ooooh....I just had chills run down my spine. Check out more here:
