Gettysburg Battlefield, Pennsylvania is the first spooky and most-definitely haunted destination on the list. An incredible history which dates back to July, 1863 and was fought between the Union and Confederate armies for three days. In this battle, known as one of the bloodiest on American soil, over 50,000 young men died valiantly for their cause.
