According to various sources, the most haunted cities in America are:
- Savannah, Georgia
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- Salem, Massachusetts
- St. Augustine, Florida
- Portland, Oregon
- Chicago, Illinois
These cities are known for their rich history, old buildings, and paranormal activity. Some of the reasons why these cities are more prone to visitors from the past include their old age, a tremendous amount of history, and geology. For example, Savannah has a somber history of bloody battles, mysterious murders, and tragic events that have left their mark on the city. New Orleans is known for its voodoo culture and unique cuisine, but it also has a mysterious side that draws seekers of the supernatural. Salem is famous for the infamous Salem Witch Trials and hosts an annual “Festival of the Dead” featuring haunted houses, ghost tours, and psychic readings. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the US, established by the Spanish in 1565, and its long and storied history leaves a lot of room for the paranormal. Portland is situated on several fault lines and the Columbia River, making it a perfect haunting ground. Finally, Chicago has a violent past, and some of its landmarks are said to be haunted, such as the site of Al Capone’s infamous Valentine’s Day Massacre and the Oak Woods Cemetery with its 6,000+ buried Confederate soldiers.
Its important to note that the idea of a city being "haunted" is subjective and varies from person to person. While some people may believe in ghosts and paranormal activity, others may not.
