Gravesend Inn Haunted Hotel, New York City
In the 1850’s the place was a slaughter house with a huge hole in the basement where all the blood and bones of the killed animals were dumped, thereby attracting a Satanists cult which also occupied the house for a while. Later it became the scene of almost every type of gruesome death imaginable and now it is a bar said to hold “The portal to Hell”. It is impossible to sip your drink there without witnessing something unexplainable and terrifying.

Technically it is not a house, but still did serve as living arrangements for some of America’s most notorious prisoners.

Called “America’s most haunted house” this seemingly humdrum brick structure holds some very creepy secrets. Back in the 1880s, when they Whaley family still lived in what was meant to be San Diego’s nicest house, there were several deaths – a man was hanged, one of the Whaley girls committed suicide, one of the children’s playmates broke her neck, but those were just some of the very first deaths in the house. Many claim to have witnessed paranormal occurrences and ghost sightings throughout the years. On weekends from 5:30 to 9 and during October you can experience the scariest side of the house.
