6. Howard Street Cemetery – Salem, Massachusetts



With Salem's witch hunt history, it seems appropriate that many assume Salem is the most haunted town in the U.S. I myself having traveled there last year, I would have to agree with this statement.



This graveyard is the oldest in the city, and holds the many famous in the Salem Witch Trials.

One famous resident of the grounds wasn't just buried there – he died there too, in 1692.

Giles Corey was the only person to die by torture during the Witch Trials, when he refused to admit guilt or innocent of Witchcraft, and was crushed to death by stone weights.

Some say Corey appears in the cemetery right before tragedy strikes the town, and was supposedly seen just days before the Great Fire of 1914.

Little known fact, this is also the graveyard where Max Dennison got his shoes stolen by Ice. Will you roam this graveyard after dark, possibly catching a glimpse of Corey?
