Spookiest (Not That Small) Towns: All The Ghouls Know Cleveland Rocks

October 30, 2008 at 12:30 PM | by kjb | 0 Comments

Even though Liz Lemon couldn't make it work with Floyd there, there's still plenty to do in The Cleve--especially when Halloween is involved. It definitely has its share of spooky stories and haunted legends--and they're all available to you thanks to some ghoulish entrepreneurs.

Start with a tour of some of the Cleveland's oldest buildings and likely hiding places for supernatural beings. A five-hour long Ohio City and Beyond Ghost Tour will even take you into Franklin Castle, a real haunted house.

If you're more of a marine thrill seeker, drop some cash on the Burning River Ghost Tour. You'll step aboard the USS Cod submarine docked on Lake Erie as you look for the serviceman who died trying to protect his ship. Even if you don't spot any ghouls, you'll finish off the tour at a local brewery--so you can wash away any disappointment.

Set Sail to Beaufort

October 28, 2008 at 12:30 PM | by kjb | 0 Comments

Although we've already confirmed that zombies are taking top billing over pirates this Halloween, we can still occasionally provide a little love to the pirate fans. This year, those brave enough can get get a first-hand glimpse of the Hammock House--the supposed home of legendary swashbuckler, Blackbeard.

The Beaufort Ghost Walk, on North Carolina's east coast, takes ghost hunters through the historic downtown while sharing some haunted tales. Your pirate guides, dressed to the nines in the buccaneer regalia, let you in on the town's many secrets and legends. The town was founded in 1709, so you know there's a lot of good stuff to share.

Besides Blackbeard's crib, you'll do your best to navigate through the nearby 300-year-old cemetery--the final resting place for those without watery graves. Make sure you bring your camera, as many have captured the spirits on film. Reservations for the $15 tour are required--so plan ahead.
