Following up my “have you ever seen a ghost” post from yesterday, it was only appropriate to start today off with the topic – haunted houses.
I’ve never been in a real haunted house before and to be honest, I knew I would be talking about haunted houses today, I just didn’t know which ones.
I thought maybe the Amityville Horror house might be a good one (even though the story is fake), but that didn’t feel right. The Conjuring house would have also been cool to talk about it, but considering a recent article I read about the family getting tormented by not ghosts, but Conjuring fans who snoop in on the house, I figured that would not have been cool to do (article – ).
So finally I thought…well, I wonder if it’s possible to stay overnight in a haunted house?
You mean you’ve never wondered that?
Well, it’s possible.

I found the site – HauntedRooms.com and you can actually book a room in a haunted house and they have haunted houses from all over the United States.
In my local area, I would probably want to travel to Yachats, Oregon to stay at the Heceta Head Lighthouse – . According to their website, it’s haunted by a woman named Rue and is the wife of a past light keeper and her daughter fell on the cliffs nearby and died.
Would you stay in a haunted house? Which one would you like to visit?
I'd be too afraid of bringing a ghost back with me. No thank you.
Hugs and chocolate!
Me too!!
Technically I already do live in a haunted house, but whoever's in there with us has good taste in music and doesn't cause trouble, so he or she is fine with me…
How cool!!! What kind of music?
OMG i would NEVER stay knowingly in a haunted house!

Thanks Pam!
I live in one now.
Really?? Do share!!
I live in one now.
I've lived in a few places that were haunted. Most were friendly, but one place was scary. I had repeated nightmares about a dead man sitting on the toilet. *shudder* I'd wake up all sweaty and freaked out! Eventually, I found out from the house owner that a previous tenant had a heart attack in the bathroom and was discovered a few days later on the toilet!
I'm currently writing a travel guide to haunted places here in north Texas. One B&B I've learned about has a ghost that only visits when women stay by themselves in a particular room. I'm toying with the idea of spending the night there for research… but I also feel a bit chicken, too! Not sure what I'll end up doing!
