Baldoon Castle

Bladnoch, Scotland

In the small riverside town of Bladnoch, Scotland, the town’s one road takes visitors close to the ivy-draped ruins of Baldoon Castle. The castle’s ruins are not the only ruined thing lingering in the area, there’s also the broken-hearted, and some say--mentally insane—ghost of young Janet Dalrymple. People report they sometimes see Janet drifting among the ruins in the nightgown she wore on her wedding night—the same gown that became covered in blood under mysterious circumstances thatÉ

Double Eagle Restaurant

Old Mesilla, New Mexico

The legend says that the wealthy Maes or Maese family came to Mesilla during the Mexican-American War from Santa Fe. The Senora, Carlota, of the household had great plans for the family. Easily the richest family in the area, she wanted to use her eldest son, Armando, as a pawn to increase the family’s name, wealth and connections. She had already promised his hand to an aristocratic family in Mexico City. Armando, however, did not have the same lust for power as his mother. In fact, he was theÉ

USS Alabama BB-60

Mobile, Indiana

The Alabama’s first two deaths were of men who were in the Norfolk shipyard as she was under construction. She was finished in 1942 and served 37 months without any fatalities due to enemy fire.

Anthony, New Mexico

Another story says that Ana committed suicide in a second floor classroom. Whichever horrible end Ana came to, she is seen now as a white apparition. Ana walks through the school's hallsÉ

Inn at Shadow Lawn

Newport, Rhode Island

According to local lore, in 1913 a young heiress and her husband moved in to the beautiful mansion. For a while they seemed quite happy, but he was young and, as a doctor in the town, had many reasons to meet with his patients. Especially the attractive ones. He soon tired of his wealthy wife and began a pattern of cheating on her—often and sometimes publicly. Perhaps his boldest move was using a hefty part of her inheritance to purchase one of the first automobiles. Sure, he took her out in itÉ

Wayne-Gordon House

Savannah, Georgia

The first report of a ghost in the home came from Nelly’s daughter-in-law, Margaret, who was seated outside the bedroom. Margaret was suddenly surprised to see the familiar form of Willie Gordon exiting his wife’s room, wearing his regular gray suit, and wearing an expression of joy mixed with the proper gravity the situation deserved. He walked through his old bedroom and went down the stairs. Shortly after Arthur Gordon, Margaret’s husband, stepped out and told her Nelly was dead. When MargaretÉ
