Some cities never bury their past. Haunt walks you through it — self-guided audio tours of America's most haunted streets, narrated like a late-night story told by someone who was there. HOW IT WORKS Pick a tour. Put in your headphones. Walk. Haunt uses your location to begin each story as you arrive at the spot where it happened — no guide, no group, no schedule. Go at midnight or at noon, pause for a drink, take the long way. The ghosts will wait. WHERE WE HAUNT • Boston — graves, gallows, and Brahmin-era crime • Salem — the 1692 accused, and the Witch City they left behind • Savannah — midnight squares and Hostess-City crimes • Charleston — the Holy City's ghosts • St. Augustine — four hundred years of the Ancient City • Key West — Old Town haunts and Hemingway's island • Tampa — Cigar City crimes and the spirits of Ybor • Baltimore — Fells Point and Poe's city • Los Angeles — Haunted Hollywood, Noir City, Studio Ghosts • San Francisco — the Barbary Coast, Nob Hill & Chinatown • Chicago — Gangland • Gettysburg — ghosts of the town the battle left behind • San Diego — Old Town after dark • Annapolis — Dark Harbor and the colonial ghosts of the old capital New cities haunting all the time.

Haunt Pass unlocks every stop of every tour in every city, with offline downloads, ambient music, and walking and driving modes.

Every town has a place people whisper about — the hotel with the room no one will book, the theater where the lights flick on by themselves, the bridge you don't stop on after dark. Paranormal Pitstops puts more than 750 of America's most haunted places on one map, with the real story behind every single one. This isn't a list of made-up scares. Each location is a real, visitable place — a historic hotel, an old asylum, a Civil War inn, a lighthouse, a roadside legend — and every story is grounded in documented local lore, folk legend, and firsthand accounts from the people who've stayed, worked, and investigated there. WHAT'S INSIDE • 750+ haunted locations across all 50 states, on one clustered map • The true "why it's haunted" story for every place, written to be read at the scene • Real photos of the locations • Search by name or by state — type "Ohio" and see every haunt in it • Near Me — find the closest haunted places wherever you are • Get directions in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze • Favorites and a Bucket List to plan your own haunted road trip • Proximity alerts — get a heads-up when you're driving near a haunted place (you choose the distance, 1 to 20 miles) BUILT FOR THE ROAD Whether you're a paranormal investigator, a road-tripper who loves a good detour, or just someone who wants to know the story behind that creepy old building, Paranormal Pitstops is made to be used in the car and at the door.
