The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum doesn?t operate any more. It hasn?t since 1994 when it was forcibly closed due to its history of maltreatment of patients, and the lawsuits that followed. But, beneath the decay and warped molding present today, you might see hints of the hospital?s former grandeur - and most certainly, evidence of its many ghosts.

Pennhurst Asylum may have opened with the best of intentions, but it didn?t end up that way. In its 79 years of operation, the asylum was characterized by the harshest of patient mistreatment. Its more than 10,000 residents were subjected to what the Philadelphia Inquirer described as ?medical experimentation, cruel punishments, and constant threats to physical and psychological well-being.? Residents were trapped, forced into labor against their will, unable to leave, out of control of the most basic elements of their own lives. And that was the adults. Children under five years old were kept in cages, lying in their own filth for days on end. As one newspaper put it in 1972, Pennhurst Asylum was ?the shame of Pennsylvania.? Many inmates stayed there as long as 35 years. And some never left.

Early in the morning of December 20, 1964, flames blazed against the darkened sky, erupting from a fire in a home in Palmyra, New York. The house burned so intensely that the city?s fire chief told a contemporary newspaper, ?When we got there, the flames were shooting into the middle of the street.? When all was said and done, six children and their mother died in the blaze. Today, the Palmyra Museum stands in that very spot, and may be one of the most haunted locations in the country.

Florida?s most haunted home has seen more than its fair share of tragedies. Inside the walls of the May-Stringer House have been sickness and suffering, untimely deaths of spouses, the enslavement of more than 50 people, and the tragic loss of children who died so young they barely even knew their parents. Some say the spirit of a little girl wanders the house to this day, looking for the mother who died bringing her into the world.

In 1997, during renovations to the Crescent Hotel, workers found a bizarre discovery. In the woods behind the hotel, they unearthed a glass jar with a mystery object inside. Local authorities determined that it was a cancerous tumor, preserved in alcohol. More than 400 more jars were soon found and...is it any wonder the Crescent Hotel is considered one of the most haunted hotels in America?

And, it's remarkably haunted.

In the Naval Park in Buffalo, New York, three majestic ships float quietly in the water, part of a large-scale tribute to the United States Military and the sacrifices made by soldiers who were wounded or killed in the name of freedom. Many believe the ships to still be haunted by the men who served on them. Eyewitness accounts detail hearing phantom footsteps and mysterious whispers, objects flying across the room, and blurred faces in photos. Some people report seeing full-body apparitions in places where there are no other living people.
