 2. Winchester Mystery Mansion, San   Jose, California:


 A home built by ghosts for ghosts? There are so many stories connected with this home that fact seems to get intermingled with fiction. The fact is that this convoluted house has doors that lead nowhere, staircases that end suddenly, and many other weird features. Built by Sarah Winchester , ostensibly to exorcise the ghosts of the people killed by the rifles built by her family concern,  even today it is believed that you can hear an organ playing and you can smell chicken  soup in an empty kitchen.

 3. Lizzie Borden House, Fall River, Massachusetts:


 Now here is a haunted home, where you are actually invited to stay over for bed and breakfast, and personally encounter the spirits which haunt this home. The site of the grisly murder in 1892 of Abby and Abe Borden, ostensibly by Lizzie Borden, this home is renowned for the sound  of a woman weeping softly, of cameras working when no one was near them  and lights flickering, all manifestations of troubled spirits.

 One cemetery where there have been over a hundred sightings is the Bachelors Grove Cemetery near Chicago. There are stories about the White Lady, the Phantom Farmhouse and the Farmer with his Plough. There is also the famous picture of a lady sitting at a grave taken in the 80s by Jude Fetz.

 5. The Tivoli Theatre, Hamilton, Canada:


 Nobody has been able to solve the mystery of what really happened to  Ambrose Small when he disappeared in 1919 in Toronto, but his ghost is  believed to be haunting one of his favourite haunts, the Tivoli Theatre  in Hamilton. Many staff members have seen him loitering around the area,  dressed in Victorian clothes with his trademark large moustache very  much in evidence.

 7. South Shields, Tyne & Wear, Newcastle, UK:


 Documented thoroughly, the ghosts in this home are definitely not the  friendly ones. There has been documentation of blood coming out of taps, of slashes on the chest of the male resident of the house, and various other eerie phenomenons. A poltergeist case which has proven to be true, the details have been collated in a book in 2006.

 8. The House of the Seven Gables, Salem Massachusetts:


 Famous author Nathaniel Hawthorne and his son Julian are believed to  be the ghosts of this home. His ancestors lived here and presided over  the 1892 witchcraft trials. It is believed that a curse was placed on  the family and they are doomed to traverse this world forever.

 9. Ocean Avenue, Amityville:


 Robert DeFeo shot dead six of his family members in this home in 1974. Since then the families which have moved into this home have been terrorized by slimy eyes, by oozing green liquids and various other unpleasant occurrences.
