Famous Haunted Places and Vacation Rentals around Them

Some people love listening to scary stories or watching horror movies. Others take it a step further by actually planning holidays with the sole intention of getting a really good scare! For this reason, haunting-themed holidays are quite popular in places most famous for their ghost or paranormal encounters. Their holiday rental industry has benefited from all the hype.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Touted to be the most haunted place in America, Gettysburg is a very popular place for ghost-hunt vacations. You need not stay at an actual haunted rental villa however, for there are numerous vacation rentals here to assure you of a good night's sleep, blissfully free of things that go bump in the night. The Alexander Currens Farmhouse is one such lovely place. It dates back to 1799 and is located right on the southern end of the Gettysburg battlefield. It has 3 bedrooms and is perfect for a family or group of 6. All the rooms in this very historic vacation rental have its own fireplace. From the second floor porch whilst enjoying the view of the National Park, you can contemplate on stories of sightings of soldiers in battle formation moving across the fields. Who knows, you might even be given that split second opportunity to get a glimpse of them.

Ghostly Vegas
No place is exempt from strange occurrences, even neon-light-flooded Las Vegas. It is no surprise then that the ghost tours offered here mostly involve those who spent their days in the limelight, when they were living, that is. The “Motel of Death” where many celebrities died is part of this ghost tour. You won't have to stay there, though. You can either stay at a posh hotel or book a fine vacation rental like Casa de Familia in central Green Valley, a few minutes east of Las Vegas Blvd. This vacation home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and sleeps 6. It has a wonderful backyard pool and spa. Close to all the local shopping spots and attractions, it will be a welcoming retreat for you after a day spent hunting celebrity ghosts.
Galveston, Texas
Galveston is a coastal city that was practically destroyed in September 1900 by the deadliest hurricane to ever hit the United States. It left 8000 people dead. With so many tragic deaths, it's no wonder Galveston has over the years earned the reputation for being one of the spookiest places in America. Apart from its rich history, Galveston's ghost stories have contributed to the interest of visitors to the city. Tourism has become a major revenue source. Apart from The Hotel Galvez which is one of the old local landmarks famous for being haunted, there are many holiday rentals that have helped keep up with the demand for accommodation. In Isla del Sol there is the Bravo Zulu, a beautiful 3 bedroom 3 bathroom beach rental that sleeps 9. Enjoy the breeze from the gulf whilst relaxing on the deck.
A haunting-themed holiday can be as scary as you allow it to be. Choosing to stay in a ghost-free vacation rental after touring all the haunted spots will nicely even out your heartbeat. It's really all up to you.
