When it comes to eerie things like spirits and orbs, I can’t say that I’ve personally experienced anything, but I know plenty of people who have. In fact, a good friend of mine grew up in a literal haunted house. He even saw floating bread in his kitchen! I can enjoy a good haunted house at the theme parks, but I’m glad I haven’t lived in one with real ghosts lurking.

A few to name include Koreshan State Park, the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, The Burroughs Home and Gardens, McCollum Hall, The Naples Hotel and the Arcade Theater.

Coming in at #5 on the list is the St. Augustine Lighthouse. I’ve never been up there, but I’ve always wanted to go on a St. Augustine ghost tour. This lighthouse is the oldest in America and some of the things visitors have mentioned is giggling in the woods at night and seeing some sort of a shadowy figure inside the lighthouse. There are 166 mentions of the word ‘haunted’ and 73 mentions of the word ‘scary’ in their Tripadvisor reviews.
