Are there any Halloween haunted houses in my area? A question that will be on the minds of many haunt-seekers preceding the Halloween season.
Are you thinking that you may want to make your own haunted house this year! (see below)
Here are a few great links to Halloween Haunted Houses, Real Haunts and Virtual Haunted Houses:
Real Haunted House or Faux Real Haunted House?
Some people will be content to visit one of the many Halloween haunted houses in their area while others feel that to truly get in the spirit of the season that they need to take a walk on the paranormal side and find “authentic” haunted houses.
A real haunted house being the destination of many a ghost-hunter throughout the year and a “faux real” haunted house being of the Halloween variety.
I happened to stay in a real Haunted Inn (The Buxton Inn in Granville, OH) a couple of years back… purely by accident. I enjoyed my stay. Historic, quaint architecture and a true haunted inn to boot. Lucky me!
There are a number of great haunted houses out there (award-winning..even) and they apparently do a make a pretty ghould living at it.
This post is for those looking for haunted houses in their area. While I could not possibly list them all because many are through local churches and civic organizations (Jaycees, Lions Club, Shriners, etc.), there are many that are in business for the Halloween season year-after-year.
Local Haunted Houses
I urge you to support your local civic organizations’ haunted house(s). They do great things for your community.
