With so many haunted houses, cemeteries, prisons, hospitals (the list goes on), below are some of the most haunted spots in the U.S as reported by visitors and investigators.

Gettysburg Battlefield, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Most of us have heard of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania because of the famous "Battle of Gettysburg" which was the most catastrophic battle of the Civil War. In 1863 over 10,000 men were killed at the Battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg Battlefield is now a historic site for tourists and visitors. Many have reported seeing Civil War like ghosts roaming around. Screams and sounds of battle have been heard at various locations and digital equipment seems to mysteriously malfunction when roaming around this historic site.

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, Midlothian, Illinois

Claimed to be one of the top three haunted spots in the U.S, Bachelor's Grove Cemetery is located on the outskirts of Chicago. The name was given to the cemetery in the 1800's due to the large number of single men that were buried there. When the cemetery was abandoned in the 1960's, vandalism to the headstones and the cemetery grounds increased. It is also rumored that satanic rituals have taken place here. Many people have reported seeing ghosts and hearing blood curdling screams and eerie voices. It is even said that Al Capone and his mob used to dump the bodies of their unfortunate victims in the pond located in the cemetery. One of the most well known sightings is a picture taken that clearly shows a translucent woman sitting on a grave dressed in 1920's apparel.
