- ScottMcIntyre, on 03/27/2009, -0/+19The Edinburgh ghost tours (mentioned in the article) are great. They take you round the atmospheric Old Town of the city to the sites where Burke and Hare did their 'bodysnatching', ancient vaults and other spooky places... whether ghosts exist or not, a well-planned ghost tour can make you jump!
- Petrarch1603, on 03/27/2009, -0/+12I ain't afraid of no ghosts
- tavallai, on 03/27/2009, -0/+11New Orleans should be on that list... Granted, much of the fun and suspension of disbelief comes from being ***** much of the time - but it's a GREAT haunted city.
- gavinhudson, on 03/27/2009, -1/+7Spooky. Having grown up near a ghost town and exploring abandoned mining squatters shacks, I like this one.
- entropysteak, on 03/27/2009, -0/+4cruise control for cool.
- emecks, on 03/27/2009, -0/+3I highly recommend the Edinburgh ghost tours too, if you're thinking of visiting our fine city hit me up too :)
- SDM187, on 03/28/2009, -0/+3Are you a ghost? cuz otherwise, no.
- tomjunlee, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2digg.com - accepting atheism and yet for some reason, some are still superstitious by believing in ghosts.
Please explain?? Where's the consistency? - entropysteak, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2someday, syntaxgs, someday.
- plaguepony, on 03/27/2009, -0/+2Dr. Steven Novella might disagree with this list...
- diggerStaz, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2One summer I was a tour guide for Mark Nesbitt's Ghosts of Gettysburg tours. His were pretty cool (unlike the ripoff tours right up the street) and it was definitely a cool/easy summer job (most of us went to Gettysburg College and were doing summer theatre). The pay was OK, but the real money was when you finished and all the wives elbowed their husbands to give you a tip. :-) The worst part was the civil war buffs that would try to quiz the ghost tour guides on every nuance of the the battle at Gettysburg. I finally started doing a disclaimer before the tour saying that it wouldn't even be fun trying to trip me up as I only knew the North won (and sometimes some of the southern tourists did not agree even with that much).
- inactive, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2pretty funny that while i was reading this "Friendly Ghosts" by eels started playing on fire.fm
I wanna go to these places, i've always wanted to see a ghost or at least something paranormal. - onionoino, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2i do not know if ghosts exist, most likely they do not, but it would be simultaneously awesome and terrifying to see one.
- rsbryswrrl, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2Synchronicity is cool.
- bghs2003, on 03/28/2009, -0/+2Probably the same reason New Age beliefs have become so popular in Britain. Many people have the desire to believe that there is far more to this world than we suspect, and will latch onto things that can fulfill that desire. Since most New Age beliefs, and the belief in ghosts, are not strictly contradictory to atheism those beliefs can continue to thrive in communities that reject the belief in God/gods.

- onionoino, on 03/28/2009, -0/+1of all the comment gimmicks out there yours is by far the most annoying
- Joshper85, on 03/27/2009, -0/+1Fort Mifflin In Philly has an over night ghost tour google Fort Mifflin.
- rsbryswrrl, on 03/28/2009, -0/+1Gettysburg is effing creepy. We used to go there a lot when I was a kid cause my family are history buffs. The graveyard there will give you the chills, even on a warm sunny summer day. Baltimore has a terrific ghost tour: http://www.fellspointghost.com. My hometown of Richmond, Virginia has a really good one too, with Civil War history, Poe stories and other local tragedies from the past that claim haunted areas: http://www.hauntsofrichmond.com

http://the-malaysiantourism.blogspot.com - courtscribe, on 05/13/2009, -0/+0I was pleasantly surprised to find the International flavor to this article. Ghost tourism is huge. So huge I'm launching a website devoted to it in fact: hauntjaunts.net. It's still under development and this article is making me think I better add another Jaunt section to it: Overseas or Interntional or Europe...Very neat! Glad to see this sort of thing out there!

The best places to go for ghosts are meant to be Chester and York. - entropysteak, on 03/27/2009, -10/+5who the ***** believes in ghosts? why is this on the front page?
