Halloween is just a few days away and that means we are all in the spooky spirit. Maybe you love celebrating the best season ever by going to a haunted house or you love going to an actual haunted house with real ghosts.

Thankfully, there is no shortage of either right here in the Northland and beyond. We have not only a bunch of haunted attractions, from the Haunted Ship to the Haunted Shack, but we also have places that are reportedly haunted.

One of the most haunted places in the state is in the Northland. The Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing is supposedly one of the most haunted places in all of Minnesota and in downtown Duluth, a ghost was caught on camera at the St. Louis County Depot.

Branching off from just our neck of the woods, there are many other very haunted places, including many haunted hotels that have more guests than the ones that formally check in if you know what I mean.

Plus, all of them are open and just waiting for you to come see for yourself.
