Recommendations
Almost anywhere you go on vacation, there will probably be some kind of haunted
event or place in the area. You could tie in a haunted expedition, stay at a haunted
hotel while on vacation, or revolve entire vacations around haunted experiences.
There are many types of haunted vacations to take including hotels, houses, tours,
and events. The goal of this article is to give you examples of what is out there, so
you might create your own haunted vacations.
Haunted vacations and legends.
See: Day of the Dead Festival
A little south of San Antonio, Texas, in a regular neighborhood near the San Juan
Mission, there is an intersection between a road and a railroad track where an
unfortunate accident occurred in which a few children were killed. Legend has it
that, back in the thirties or forties, a school bus full of kids stalled on the railroad
tracks at this intersection. A speeding train crashed into the bus, killing ten kids
and the driver. Since then, it has been said that if a car is stopped on these tracks,
then it will be pushed to safety by some unseen force. Apparently, it is the children
tat push stopped cars to prevent an accident like theirs. Numerous people have
experimented with this claim and all have had the same result, they say. First, the
driver puts the car in neutral or turns off the engine all together about 20 to 30
yards from the tracks. Then, the car magically slowly starts to roll up the incline of
the road towards the tracks. As the vehicle picks up speed, it rolls over the tracks
and down the other side. Talcum or baby powder has been sprinkled over the back
of vehicle testing the legend, and small finger and hand prints have been found
once the vehicle reached safety.
Haunted lighthouse vacations? See Haunted
Lighthouses
The New London Ledge Lighthouse in New London Harbor, Connecticut was built in
1909. It is supposed to be haunted by a man named Ernie. In 1936, when Ernie
found out that his wife left him for the Block Island Ferry captain, Ernie jumped from
the roof of the lighthouse to his death. His ghost now haunts the lighthouse. He
has been known to open and close doors, turn off televisions, wash the decks, turn
the fog horn on and off, and untie secured boats to let them drift off into the sea.
Haunted theater vacations?
The Welden Theatre in St. Albans, Vermont, has had some strange occurrences.
This theatre was built over an old jail. The projection booths have especially been
strange. Voices have been heard in the booths. Movies start by themselves. In
the basement, which is filled with old jai cells, people have felt like they were being
watch and also saw a man in a white sweater. This man is said to be an old
homeless man who had moved into the basement years ago. After dying, he
continues to walk around the basement. The basement doors fly open, even after
being latched. Lastly, doors that say, “Alarm will sound when opened,” have been
found open, with no alarm sounding.
Haunted vacations mean finding haunted businesses:
In the western part of Duluth, Minnesota, in the Spirit Valley, there is a place called
Charlie’s Club. The building was built in the late 1800’s and was originally four
stories high, but is now only one story due to a fire. By the west door there are
some billiard tables. By these tables, people say they or their pool stick were
brushed, touched, or pushed while there was no one around them. This bar is
known for being haunted by an old woman who only appears in front of men;
usually these men are employees of the bar. People who work there say they have
heard the bathroom and security doors slam shut, open, and swing fiercely. When
they would rush to see what the commotion was about, there would be nobody
there. This usually happens
after the club closes. Also see: Haunted Pub
