House of the Seven Gables

Salem, Massachusetts is legendary for its history of the witch trials and other spooky entities. The Turner-Ingersoll Mansion is known as the House of the Seven Gables, and it has had a number of ghostly reports. Because the house is now a museum quite popular around Halloween, visitors have seen some spooky, unsettling things: a man climbing up and down the secret staircase, a little boy who giggles and runs around the attic, and even Susannah Ingersoll, the cousin of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the author of the novel The House of the Seven Gables. One visitor heard a woman’s voice in his ear whispering “shhh”, and when he turned around expecting to see his girlfriend, no one was there.
