Ghost hunting is actually becoming very popular today. It’s a lot more mainstream than it used to be, and a lot more accepted. Some people do it for a living, but most people just do it for fun. If you’re looking for some spirit activity and an eerie place to visit that gives you the feel of days gone by, there are some towns you should visit.

Centralia, Pennsylvania should be your first stop. A coal mine caught fire there, and the town was destroyed from underneath.

Bodie, California is another great place to go. It’s deserted, desolate, and pretty much just like it was when everyone left, except for the ravages of time. Money, alcohol, and gold were the killers of this town.

Tombstone, Arizona is a quintessential ghost town and the subject of a lot of films, too. People still live there, but that doesn’t make it less eerie.

Calico, California has tours and gold-panning, among other things. It’s a great place to go, like most old mining towns.

Last but not least, go and see Belmont, Nevada. There are saloons still there, and it’s a working ghost town full of history and maybe something more.
