1. The Turner Inol Mansion in Massachusetts has a dark history related to the Salem witch trials. While popular culture may exaggerate the persecution of women by Puritans, it is known that at least a dozen women were hanged. The souls of those unjustly killed are said to be eternally tied to the corrupted place, resulting in haunting experiences for anyone involved with their deaths. The Turner Inol Mansion, also known as the House of Seven Gables, was a place where author Nathaniel Hawthorne spent his childhood hearing stories of Salem's witch trials. His great-great-grandfather, Judge Hathorne, played a role in the executions. Hawthorne added a "u" to his name to distance himself from his family's history. Judge Hathorne, known for his Puritan views, ordered the execution of women accused of having magical powers. Despite their innocence, he showed no remorse. Nathaniel Hawthorne, deeply affected by his ancestor's actions, believed the house was haunted due to its association with Judge Hathorne. Hawthorne was related to the house's owners. Visitors to the house have reported sightings of eerie apparitions.

2. the Ptic Mansion in Portland is known for being haunted. The ghosts and demons there are usually malevolent, aiming to harm those who come across them. However, the ghosts of Henry and Georgina Pck, the couple who built the mansion, are an exception. They are said to haunt the mansion because they simply love it so much. One common ghostly occurrence reported is the smell of roses, which was Georgina's favorite flower. Other spooky events include the sound of ghostly gardening.

3.The third house in California is known to be haunted. People who have played The Sims know that the best way to make a house haunted is to have multiple deaths there, especially if they are tragic and unexpected. The Wy house, built on a former graveyard, has a history of tragedy. The owner's son died of scarlet fever at 18 months old, and his daughter committed suicide at 22. Both children are said to haunt the house, with guests hearing the sound of footsteps and ghostly laughter. The house is filled with the spirits of the deceased children, creating a spooky atmosphere.

4. Mark Twain's house in New York State is said to be haunted. Despite being a skeptic, Twain once shot at a piece of wood that appeared to be floating in the air, leaving behind a pool of blood. He believed it was from a rat, not a ghost. Interestingly, people have reported seeing the ghost of Mark Twain himself in the house, even though he only lived there for a year. The ghost supposedly expressed annoyance at being spotted before disappearing. Classic Mark, always moving on.

5.The Farnsworth House and Inn in Pennsylvania is said to be haunted by about a dozen ghosts. This building was once a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. Some of the ghosts are soldiers, with visitors hearing the sound of clacking boots at night. There is also the ghost of a young boy who plays pranks on guests, a midwife who tucks guests in at night, and a former kitchen cook who wanders around looking for ingredients. One time, the cook even pushed over a waitress who served an overcooked meal.

6.Let's continue to number five, the LMP Mansion in Missouri. We're halfway through the video now, and it's a good time to mention that we don't know if ghosts exist. There will be skeptics watching this video, including myself, but there's something intriguing about ghost stories. However, many people don't believe in ghosts because they can't understand why someone would stick around after death. They should move on or find something better to do with their time, like going to Mars or watching Marvel movies for free. That's why the hauntings and ghostly activities at the LMP Mansion are more believable. One of the main things people report seeing is the ghost of the former owner, William LMP Jr, who was known for his womanizing ways. He's said to sneak glances at women in the shower, which is a strange accusation for a ghost. But let's move on to the next topic.
