Two homes in New York State were just named the scariest in the whole country. The first one is in New York City, and the second one is in Upstate New York.
The She Budgets website just put out a list called “25 Most Terrifying Places in America.” On the list are historic homes like the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Massachusetts, where people who want to feel scared can stay at the site of the horrible double murder in 1892.
You could also visit The Stanley Hotel in Colorado, which was the setting for “The Shining” by Stephen King. New Orleans’s St. Louis Cemetery was also talked about because of its well-known above-ground tombs and voodoo spirits.
How do you find the New York State homes with the most ghosts?
1) House of Death Located In New York City
There is a house in Greenwich Village called “The House Of Death.” It is said to be the site of 22 deaths and is haunted by many ghosts. Mark Twain, who lived there for a short time, is said to show up in a white suit as a famous ghost.
Built in 1856, on West 10th street in Greenwich Village what is now known as ‘the House of Death’ has at one time or another housed many of the cities bright and beautiful. Including the wife of the founder of the Metropolitan Underground Railroad and the Broadway Underground Railroad, Mr. James Boorman Johnston.”

2) The Amityville Horror House Located In Amityville
This house is the scene of the famous DeFeo murders and many other scary stories that have been turned into books and movies:
On the tragic evening of November 13, 1974, a young man shoots and kills his entire family with a 35-caliber Marlin rifle as his parents, two brothers and two sisters apparently sleep. The gruesome murder of the DeFeo family shakes up the sleepy Long Island town of Amityville—and leads to decades of horror storytelling.”
