BOY SCOUT LANE, STEVENS POINT, WISCONSIN

Don’t let the name fool you, Boy Scout Lane sounds pleasant enough, but it is actually one of the most haunted places in Wisconsin.

The dead-end road was named in honor of some Boy Scouts who died there during a camping trip many years ago, but records are sketchy with regard to how they actually died.

As you might imagine this means that there are a number of versions of the tale floating around. Some say that the boys were murdered by their bus driver while others believe they simply went missing in the woods and were never found.

Yet more stories suggest that one scout dropped a kerosene lantern accidentally and started a fire that killed the rest of his troop.

Whatever the true story is, visitors agree that if you visit Boy Scout Lane at night you are likely to see the light of a solitary lantern bobbing through the trees.

It is said that this is either someone searching for the lost scouts or perhaps the spirit of the one who started the fire.

Forsyth Park, Savannah, GA

The entire city of Savannah is pretty much one giant ghost story, due in large part to the mysterious tunnels that run below the town's streets. The underground structures play a major role in many of Savannah's most haunted locations, including Forsyth Park, the fountained green space you probably recognize from a postcard or two. According to Savannah Magazine, doctors at the adjacent Candler Hospital (now the Savannah Law School) performed autopsies in the tunnels below. Maria Pinheiro, a historian and spokesperson with Ghost City Tours, says these below-the-surface rumblings make Forsyth Park particularly ripe for sightings of shadowy, now-you-see-them-now-you-don’t figures.

St. Augustine Lighthouse, FL

The St. Augustine Lighthouse is visited by nearly 225,000 people annually, but it's just as well-known for its otherworldly visitors. Several tragic events that occurred at the now-historic site have contributed to the alleged paranormal activity. The ghost of a lighthouse keeper who fell to his death while painting the tower has been spotted watching over the grounds. And ever since the horrific death of three young girls, who drowned when the cart they were playing in broke and fell into the ocean, visitors have claimed to hear the sounds of children playing in and around the lighthouse.

La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina

You don't have to be religious to be moved by La Recoleta Cemetery, which features thousands of statues, mausoleums, fairytale grottoes, and intricate tombstones, as well as the remains of Argentina's most iconic figure—Eva Perón. The stone walkways and labyrinth of mausoleums are as beautiful as they are eerie, and Recoleta has a couple haunted legends of its own. One of the most famous stories involves David Alleno, a former grave-digger and caretaker who worked at the cemetery for 30 years before killing himself. Today, people report hearing Alleno's keys jangling as his ghost walks the pathways at dawn.
