Haunted Adventures for Halloween

When I popped open my email this morning, I was amused to find an invite from a Seattle friend to join in on a "Haunted History Tour" - seems there's more than meets the eye to the old brewery neighborhood. I'm all about the wacky local diversion - they're often quite cheap, close to home, and it's always thrilling to learn more about what's in your own backyard. Also, a few years went on the Night Watch tour in the pretty medieval city of Steyr in Austria and had a great time, in spite of the freezing cold and the rapidly whispered translations. With Halloween heading our way, I thought it might be fun to see what's happening in the (under)orld of haunted tours.

Haunted Happenings is a blog devoted to tours and events that retell the time of the Salem Witch Trials.
On this tourism/cottage rental blog, there are several suggestions for tours of haunted places in England, including a Hogwarts site.
The Twilight series of books has inspired curious vampire seeking tourists to visit Forks, Washington.(I've been to Forks. Save your money.)
How about Halloween in Transylvania? One wonders what the packing list would be like for that tour. Wooden stakes? Check.
The Smart Traveller suggests jetting off to Prague, Europe's "most haunted city."
Travelcuts has some fun suggestions too, including the "Queen of the Damned Ball" in New Orleans.

Have you taken a ghost tour? Tell us about it.
