Here are Local Guide Kimbra’s top five favorite haunted places in the U.S.:

  1. Ecola State Parkin Cannon Beach, Oregon. From the shore, you can see “Terrible Tilly ” which is the nickname for Tillamook Rock Lighthouse. It’s said to be haunted because it’s seen so many shipwrecks on its rugged coastline. Bonus: Part of the Goonies was filmed here!
  2. Bachelor’s Grove Cemeteryin Midlothian, Illinois. Some people consider this the most haunted cemetery in the world. If you’re looking for a scary spot in the middle of the woods where you can search for spirits, visit Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery. When Kimbra visited she felt a cold chill run through her body.
  3. Cedar Grove Cemeteryin Notre Dame, Indiana. This cemetery is across the parking lot from Notre Dame University’s bookstore and is supposedly haunted by a student who died on the stairs of one of the resident halls.
  4. City Methodist Churchin Gary, Indiana. Similar to the haunted churches across old Europe, the City Church in Gary, Indiana was once a spectacular structure but it has long since been abandoned and forgotten.
  5. The Pfister Hotelin Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This hotel is famous for where Jeffrey Dahmer, a serial killer, picked up some of his victims. Kimbra had a ‘strange experience’ while visiting this haunted site.

Maybe this fall you want to trick or treat yourself to a night in. We can help with that, too! Dive into more spooky Search trends here — included top-searched costumes, movies and how you can virtually explore the filming locations of cult classics on Google Earth.
