Ghost Tours and Paranormal Experiences<\/span><\/h2>\n

Poconos is a hot spot for chilling paranormal experiences and ghost tours. The spots listed below are some of the places where you can participate in ghost tours and experience paranormal activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Haunted Pocono Trolley Tour<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Haunted Pocono Trolley Tour is a terror-inducing tour that begins from The Historic Castle Inn and ends at the same place. The trolley usually runs from September to October during the evenings. You can discover several paranormal activities on your tours. Few of those activities are: the unsolved grisly ax murder in the Delaware Water Gap eatery where you might hear an unnatural voice to \u201cGet out,\u201d the Pocono resort where a woman in white relives her wedding day, the old county jail where a \u201crain man\u201d defied the laws of gravity and nature, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Old Jail Museum<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe is full of ghost stories and paranormal experiences. The jail housed several inmates, the most notable being the Molly Maguires. The biggest crime they were accused of was murdering their bosses as well as other miners. The hallways in the jail give out a cold and eerie ambiance. In addition to Molly Maguires, the jail also has a mysterious handprint on a wall that cannot be erased. Legends tell that this was the handprint of a man who tried to show that he was innocent and the handprint will remain forever as a witness to that.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Haunted in Candle Shoppe Tour<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Candle Shoppe in the Poconos might seem like an ordinary place. However, that might be the case until you learn about its dark past. Dr. William Redwood Fisher, who developed the smallpox and yellow fever vaccines, used to live here. He had a biological laboratory in the basement and experimented on monkeys. Several visitors claim that they hear monkey screams, feel the fur of the monkeys brush against them and even capture the photos of the doctor while taking photos. This gives Candle Shoppe the reputation of being one of the scariest <\/span>haunted houses in the Poconos<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
