It is funny, but even with Halloween being one of my favorite holidays and the fact that I write paranormal stories year round, those created Haunted Houses set up all over the place this time of year are just not my thing at all! However, real haunted houses or places, I am not so sure about. I recently went on a two and a half hour Haunted Footprints tour of Salem, MA one night this summer. While I didn't encounter any ghosts, my camera says other wise as you can see above. And, when I was young, there was this abandoned house in the woods behind my own home that I often explored during the day. By the looks of the place, it could have easily been haunted. I have often wondered if the house is still standing. It would be cool to go back there now, and at night. So, of course it is no surprise that I used it as a setting in one of my stories.
