Spooky season in New York

Clocking in at a whopping 478-acres, you could get lost in this Brooklyn cemetery if you're not careful. Opt for haunted walking tour or one of the many other events they host year round. You may even come across some famous graves.

This museum offers standard tours, but they also offer Candlelight Ghost Tours...and for good reason. The Tredwell family lived in the home for nearly 100 years, with 8 people (on record) dying in the house.

Step into (or rather under) the Basilica of Saint Patrick’s Old Cathedral. You'll need to book a tour - kindly click the link below (yes, I get a referral bonus!).

Located on Roosevelt Island (take the tram!), the Renwick Smallpox Hospital opened in 1856. The hospital was placed to be completely quarantined from the rest of the city in order to keep smallpox under control. During the hospital’s 19-year run, it treated approximately 7,000 patients a year, with about 450 patients dying there annually.

Visit at night to experience Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas Light Trail, running only Sep 27 - Nov 30.

One day only! On Wednesday October 30, you'll be able to watch jack-o'-laterns float by in Central Park at sunset.

The oldest operating hotel in NYC is obviously haunted. The Algonquin opened its door in 1902, and has kept a live cat in the lobby since the late 1920s (spooky!). Stop in for drink at The Blue Bar, or click the link below if you're brave enough to stay (yes, I get a referral bonus!).

Dylan Thomas famously drank 18 (yes) shots here, before dying at the Hotel Chelsea later that night. Supposedly his ghost shows up from time to time. I'm not sure about that, but it's a great place to grab a drink (not 18).

Built sometime around 1850, the house (which has since been converted to a 10-apartment building) has seen 22 deaths. It's been said the ghost of Mark Twain, a tenant from 1900-1901 has been spotted there in addition to other unsettling paranormal activity.

This swanky cocktail bar (previously the office of John Campbell) inside Grand Central is owned by Mark Grossich who is absolutely certain it is haunted. He claims the most haunted parts of the bar are the upstairs bathrooms and the mezzanine. Both staff and patrons have reported seeing a well dressed older couple enjoying cocktails while watching the patrons below.

To start, John Lennon was murdered here. Throughout her history, The Dakota has had some rather notable residents, many of which report paranormal actives. The Dakota is an apartment building and not open to the public, but has absolutely beautiful architecture to admire. In fact, The Dakota's exterior was used for the fictional Bramford apartment building in the 1968 film Rosemary's Baby.

When Aaron Burr was Attorney General of New York State during the 1790’s he housed his coach and horses in the carriage house at 17 Barrow Street. Nowadays, it is a *quite* fancy restaurant. If you're willing to splurge, maybe you can see one of the twenty reported ghosts lurking about.

This Tribeca firehouse will look familiar to any Ghostbusters fan. The FDNY Ladder Company 8 served as the Ghostbusters headquarters for the 1984 original film.

Another Ghostbusters favorite! It's no surprise the writers were inspired by this location, considering the NYPL sits on Bryant Park (which was actually built upon a potter's field).

This is Manhattan's older surviving residence, and it's giving haunted. Built in 1765, the home hosts a variety of paranormal programming and has attracted many academics and investigators alike.

One of the oldest bars in NYC, the building was originally built as a home for James Brown in 1770. Starting in the mid 1800s it became a watering hole for sailors, and survived as a speakeasy through prohibition. A famous ghost "Mickey" has been waiting for his ship to come into the harbor for 100 years now.

This now luxury apartment building has a dark history. Previously, The Octagon served as the main entrance to the New York City Mental Health Hospital in 1841. Conditions were a true nightmare, with the hospital filled to double its capacity. Nellie Bly wrote the exposé "10 Days in a Mad-house" for the New York World in 1887, after going undercover as a patient. It's safe to say the tormented souls of this "Mad-house" are lingering.

The ghost of Olive Thomas - a once famous movie star - is said to haunt this theater where she first got her start. Originally her death was ruled a suicide, but later on deemed an "accidental" poisoning. Anyways, you can see Aladin there.

At night, WSP is more of a NYU party than a haunted house. That being said, the park is built on a mass grave of 20,000 bodies. There's also "hangman's elm" (stands at the park's northwest entrance) which according to local legend served to hang traitors during the American Revolution. Historical records suggest the tree is more than 300 years old.

The church was built on the estate (and grave) of Peter Stuyvesant who is said to haunt the church. Turns out Stuyvesant was notoriously short-tempered and had a peg-leg, both of which make for a solid haunting.

Ghost sightings here are so common that they are referred to by name. We have Mary, the Titanic survivor who hung herself in her room on the fifth floor. Nadia, a young woman who threw herself out the window in 1922, and Larry who apparently is a real chatter box.

Legend has it that if you hear a train thundering over the tracks of the Hell Gate in the wee hours of the morning and it stops in the middle of the bridge, it means that the train is letting off the ghosts of all the people who lost their lives in the waters of the Hell Gate.

According to actors and backstage personnel, the ghost of David Belasco has been spotted sitting in an empty box during the opening night of a production.
