Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Your journey begins in a Pennsylvania National Park, which is believed to be haunted by some of the over 43,000 casualties from July 3, 1863. Sightings have included a headless officer on horseback, a woman in white, and the phantoms of scruffy soldiers.
2. Leaving behind Pennsylvania, your journey takes you on to Baltimore, Maryland. Former residents and current employees of the poet's residence have never reported seeing any ravens. They do, however, claim the location is haunted by a heavy set female. Most of the activity occurs in the attic.
3. Leaving behind Baltimore, you head to Charlottesville, Virginia. Here you stop at a tavern that has been there since 1784. There you realize that the third floor still has a party in full swing, only catch is that these guests have been dead for quite some time.
4. Waving goodbye to the tavern, the next stop on your map is Memphis, Tennessee. Once there, you decide to go and see a musical. Once inside the theater, you check your ticket well because it is reported that seat C-5 is permanently taken. Workers claim that the spirit of a twelve-year-old girl, "Mary", haunts the theater. Many actors, employees, and patrons have claimed to have had run-ins with little "Mary".
5. After visiting all the great sites that Memphis has to offer, you move on to Pontotoc, Mississippi. As you drive up to your next destination you are awestruck by the beauty of this plantation. Legend states that this white plantation is haunted by a duty driven slave named "Uncle Ed". "Uncle Ed" promised the young James Gordon that he would watch over the plantation while James was away at war. "Uncle Ed" has held to this promise, even beyond the grave.
6. Leaving behind "Uncle Ed" and the beautiful plantation, it is time for some shut eye in a Louisiana haunted plantation. You can get a room at the "most haunted place in America", if you think you can stay the whole night. There have been multiple reports of hauntings. The most famous of its ghosts is that of a young slave named Cloe. Cloe was hanged by fellow slaves after they found out she had killed the two young children by poisoning their birthday cake.
7. A good night's rest and a full belly send you away from the beautiful plantation. Checking your map, you see that Galveston, Texas is next. You head to the historic district and come to a large mansion. Lucky you, you are here on February 18, which just so happens to be the birthday of the resident ghost. "Bettie", as she is known, was the daughter of the original owner, James Moreau Brown. It is stated that in life "Bettie" was a free spirit and it appears that death was not even enough to slow her down. As you walk up the center stairs you feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. The tour guide smiles and states, "I see you sense Bettie." It is said that "Bettie" also haunts the Gold Room and the living room.
8. You wave goodbye to "Bettie" and her beautiful mansion. Next stop, Cloudcroft, New Mexico. This mountain inn's resident spirit is known as "Rebecca". "Rebecca" was a beautiful red-haired maid at the inn. Her beauty caught the eye of a lumberjack and his jealous rage killed her in the 1930's. Since then, her spirit has wandered this expansive mountain lodge. She seems to like room 101, often making calls either to the room or from the room. She is also known to move ashtrays and start fires in the fireplace of the Red Dog Saloon.
9. You look back one last time on "Rebecca's" inn and head towards Tombstone, Arizona. No trip to Tombstone would be complete without visiting this once thriving burlesque hall. This famous night spot was the site of sixteen gunfights. It is thought to be haunted by a stagehand and a little boy, among many others. Some say if you listen in the deserted rooms you can still hear people singing and talking.
10. Tombstone was fun but it is on to sunny California. Sunnyvale, where your next haunted location is at an unlikely place. A modern store is not exactly where you would expect to find a poltergeist. When employees and customers were afraid to go into certain areas of the store, the store director decided to call in some help. A psychic determined that the spirit, known to throw roller skates and books, was a ranch hand nicknamed Crazy Johnny. In 1884, Johnny was cutting wood on the property and cut his leg. He bled to death near a well on the property.
