Travel Destinations to Haunt
Our family has actually ghosted about in one of the destinations on this list quite a few times.

Sleepy Hollow is a quaint, little place alongside the Hudson River that is especially spooktacular during the fall, leading into Halloween. Here are a few other frightfully named travel destinations to add to your travel itinerary.
