A menacing medieval castle, a gilded opera house turned makeshift morgue and a terrifying train car straight out of a nightmare are all the dire domain of the undead.

Long-dead prisoners prowl an old English jail, a decommissioned warship is haunted by the agonized victims of a grisly tragedy and sinister spirits roam the upper floor of a historic building.

A monstrous headmistress tortures innocent souls from beyond the grave; a restaurant quakes with ghostly activity; an island is stalked by the sinister spirit of a notorious pirate.

The Blue Lady haunts a California restaurant overlooking the ocean; more than costumed staff members lurk in the dark at a Halloween attraction in a 19th-century Philadelphia prison; a New York village is dedicated to reliving history.
