Here are four of the supposedly most haunted locations in New England. There's no reason to wait until Halloween to visit them. The ghosts are waiting.

If you believe in ghosts, chances are you love exploring haunted places. What follows is a short list of the most haunted places in New England. The question is this. Are you brave enough to go exploring?

The Kennebunk Inn (Kennebunk, Maine)

Originally built as a private residence, the Kennebunk Inn opened as a tavern in 1928. It is said to be haunted by Silas Perkins as well as various other apparitions. Perkins, the inn’s former auditor and watchmen, loves to play pranks on guests and employees alike. Most especially in room number 17.

Snedeker Demon House (Southington, Connecticut)

This funeral home turned private residence is the home that inspired the book (and movie) “The Haunting in Connecticut.” It’s where Ed and Lorrain Warren, both paranormal investigators, assisted the Snedeker family of ridding their ghosts in 1986.Lizzy Borden Bed & Breakfast (Fall River, Massachusetts)

Take a tour of one of the most haunted houses in Massachusetts. It’s the home of Lizzy Borden, who is said to have killed her father and stepmother in 1892. If the thought of sleeping with ghosts doesn’t bother you, you can even book accommodations for the night. Photos are allowed on this tour.

New Hampshire State Hospital (Concord, New Hampshire)

Originally referred to as the “New Hampshire Asylum for the Insane,” locals will be the first to tell you that this abandoned medical facility is one of the most haunted buildings in the state. It was a horrible place to receive treatment, closing because of many allegations of neglect.

Today, there are claims of elevators starting up on their own, echoing footsteps in the halls, files that fly off tables and the feeling that someone is always watching.

These are four of the supposedly most haunted locations in New England. There’s absolutely no reason to wait until Halloween to visit them. If you’re in the area and looking for something scary to do, why not consider stopping by? The ghosts are waiting!

    This looks like it would be such a great day trip for my family to take. I would be scared. However, I’m sure they would love the experience.

    I believe in ghosts which is exactly why I’m a bit hesitant to go to these houses and explore. But I’m sure if there are people with me, I’ll feel more confident to do so. This is really creepy but also exciting!

    The State Hospital has be totally freaked out! Also, I grew up in CT and I pretty much think that so many places there are legitimately haunted!

      I am so interested in all these places, scary yes but it would be fun to explore them. I would go anywhere during the day with people around.

    I love these kinds of posts. I’m a big fan of going on haunted tours or just tracking down haunted areas. I haven’t found anything yet, but I’m not giving up!

    I am really afraid of haunted houses so it would have to be in the day time with a lot of people around before I would go in. That asylum sounds especially scary.

  6. Ashley says

    I have a friend totally into horror that would love to visit here. Thanks for the list.

    What a great list! One Summer we are going to have to check some of these out since we head to Rhode Island several times for camp visits and pick-ups!

  8. Marcie W. says

    How fun! We definitely have plans to visit the New England area at some point and these haunted locations would all be a must see for my husband.

  9. Bill Sweeney says

    I think just from the historical standpoint, these places would be cool to visit. The unknown is what intrigues me.

    I am all about cemetaries and haunted hotels. But scary movies? HECK NO! Can’t handle them!

    I think these places you listed would be creepy, but exciting to visit. I know most people don’t believe in ghosts, but are interested in visiting these kinds of places.

    I am not a big fan of anything haunted because I’m a big baby. I’m sure there are tons of people who love that type of thing. Seems like some great trips.

    Hands up I love hearing about haunted locations and I would love to get out there and explore some of them. These sound like great spots to visit if your in the New England area.

  14. Pam says

    I love visiting haunted places and learning about all the history behind them. All of these sound like must-visits.

    The last time I went to the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast the only thing that haunted me was the awful smell in there lol!! I have not yet been to these other spots.

  16. Joely Smith says

    What FUN! I love learning the history of haunted places and visiting them! I am bookmarking this for future reference!

  17. Terri Steffes says

    June 28, 2018 at 10:27 pm

    I have a friend from Salem and he loves your list! I would love to do this but I am a true fraidy cat. I’d have to go with someone I trust.

  18. Lisa Favre says

    June 28, 2018 at 10:47 pm

    I have an old coworker who would totally be into doing a tour from your list! He has told me of other places he has visited and can talk hours on end about them!

  19. Shannon Gurnee says

    I would love to visit New England someday! Not sure I would be brave enough to visit the haunted places though! Although my husband would be. Ha ha!

  20. Toni | Boulder Locavore says

    This is really interesting! Will keep this in our list next time we visit England!

    The New Hampshire State Hospital sounds like a really terrifying! There is a similar hospital here in Johannesburg that has been abandoned because of such things.

  22. indah nuria says

    June 29, 2018 at 6:56 am

    Now I want to see those places myself! The Hospital has always been the top one!. We have so many Urban Legend as well in Indonesia and many of them are super scary!

  23. Angela Ricardo Bethea says

    June 29, 2018 at 7:04 am

    From the sound of it, these places would be super creepy to visit. Closed down hospital with a sketchy background is really scary for me.

  24. Brianne says

    June 29, 2018 at 7:13 am

    Wow this place does look a little creepy! We were just in Kennebunkport, I would’ve love to see that haunted house!

  25. Bianca Dottin says

    June 29, 2018 at 10:47 am

    I never knew there was this many haunted places in New England. I’m not sure if I would be up for visiting these places but this is a great list!

  26. Sara Welch says

    June 29, 2018 at 12:23 pm

    I absolutely love reading stuff like this. It’s neat when it’s your own hometown because it’s like learning a bit of history.

  27. Heather says

    June 29, 2018 at 12:32 pm

    While these things fascinate me, I don’t think I’d have the guts to actually go into one of them.

  28. Annemarie LeBlanc says

    June 29, 2018 at 2:25 pm

    Haunted places or going ghost hunting is not my thing, but thank you for sharing this list. If we get to visit New England, I am sure my sons would love to go on a adventure into those places.

  29. Reesa Lewandowski says

    June 29, 2018 at 8:06 pm

    This is so cool! I know so many people who are SO into ghost hunting and visiting places like this!

  30. Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen says

    June 30, 2018 at 7:40 pm

    Oh gosh, these places would probably scare the hell out of me but I would love to see them.

    This isn’t really my cup of tea, haha but I bet some would love this list! Would be cool for Halloween for sure though.

    Spooky fun! When I lived in Savannah, GA they had all kinds of spooky places, and ghost tours. Not a ton here in Omaha, NE. They did just get a ghost tour happening finally in the downtown area.
