Driving Down This Haunted Connecticut Road Will Give You Nightmares

What are some real haunted places in Connecticut? 

Over the decades, Connecticut has earned itself a reputation as, well, a state with a lot of ghosts. (If we're fascinated by tales of the paranormal, Connecticut is pretty much a slice of heaven.)

There have been countless movies made centering on Connecticut-centric stories (A Haunting In Connecticut, anyone?). Some places are sought out to this day due to rumors of actual hauntings plaguing them.

Some places known to locals and in some cases around the world include:

• The Bruce Museum, in Greenwich, is often hailed as one of the most haunted places on the east coast.
• While in Greenwich you’ll also want to check out the old Homestead Inn, which is said to be haunted by strange footsteps in the halls and lights that turn on and off on their own.
• In Easton, you’ll find an infamous haunted cemetery called Union Cemetery, where a ghost known as the White Lady is said to roam.
  We could go on for days; Connecticut is a great state for those who are curious about the paranormal. These are just a few of the haunted places in Connecticut.

Is paranormal activity in Connecticut a regular occurrence?  

Well, to be honest, paranormal activity in any one place is not a regular occurrence by definition. If these kinds of odd happenings and spooky stories occurred regularly, there wouldn’t be nearly as much debate as to whether ghosts and spooks are real or not. Of course, there are some infamously haunted places (like those mentioned above) where you’re more likely to encounter something unexplainable than in most places. New Haven County, Litchfield County, Fairfield County, and many more are all said to be home to more hauntings per building than most places, so they’re all worth a visit at some point... if you dare.
