Ghosts are part of a magical universe embraced by every society and culture, and telling ghost stories has been a way to communicate ideas, fears, and history since the beginning of mankind.

Spend a hauntingly unforgettable evening at one of the restaurants, taverns, or inns listed. Many of these establishments have been around for quite a while, some dating back to the eighteenth century. They all have one thing in common they are haunted.
