Both Ann Bolyen’s ghost in the Tower of London and several haunted spaces in the White House in Washington, D.C. are two very public and populated places which come to mind. Enthusiasts bring attention to historical properties and have an interest in preservation as well. From Civil War-era towns like Old Salt Sulphur Springs in Virgina to ghost walks in old opera houses like Rohs Opera House in Kentucky and train-loving ghosts in Colorado, many locations are ready for sleuthing on National Ghost Hunting Day.
Perhaps it’s the anticipation for the novice who has yet to experience the thrill of witnessing a restless soul making contact for the first time that lures him into a first haunted journey.

How does a ghost stay in one place, since the earth is moving?
The only reason living people do is because they have mass.
Here. I’ll help you by giving you “The Best Of Ghost Adventures”:
What was that?
Oh, I feel cold.
Did anybody see that?
OMG, something touched me.
I heard something.
A mysterious voice said “toe jam” on our recorder.
LOL!
True...but it’s still corny fun after a couple of beers. :)
I have a ghost bat my husband gave me.
Who Ya Gonna Call? ;)
Love that show. There are Ghost Adventures marathons several times a week. Just check your local listings for daytime programing. I watched last Saturday’s Season Premiere; very spooky.
