Haunted History

In New York--a state full of folklore, legends, and perhaps ghosts--we visit Manhattan's Merchant House Museum, where Gertrude Treadwell was born, died…and may still reside.

San Antonio--birthplace of Texas, home of the Alamo, and some say fertile ground for spawning ghosts! In 1836, the Alamo heroes returned for one last stand. The beautiful Sallie White, gunned down in 1876, wanders hotel hallways.

Prowling the world's oceans, perpetually seeking salvation, they are harbingers of doom for those who cross their bows. Somewhere between the sea's surface and a watery grave lies a haunted ship's domain.

In 1891, the Washington Star newspaper called the capital the greatest town for ghosts in the country. Many think the assertion holds true today. Does Lincoln roam the White House? Does Ulysses S. Grant visit the Willard Hotel?

Called The Most Beautiful City in North America, each year tourists descend upon this city of antebellum mansions and serene parks. Yet unquiet spirits lurk behind the peaceful facade.

A bloody gunfight. A jilted lover with murder on his mind. A bawdy dance hall overrun with spirits of the past. These are a few of the spectral snapshots in our photo album of one of the Old West's most notorious towns--Tombstone, Arizona.
