Top 4 Ghosts in Pennsylvania

#1 Abington Presbyterian Church
This church was built in 1779 after removing a cemetery from its construction site. Since then, the ghost of the little boy is seen around this church. With the cemetery now located just a few meters away, locals have claimed to have seen a child standing around the doors and windows of the church at night. Some of the members of this church have also experienced seeing a small child appear during the prayer sessions that are held inside the church. Believe it or not, there is nothing scarier than a ghost that appears during prayers. This is surely one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania.

#2 Academy-Juniata County
This place has long been known as one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania. The current setting is on the site of a former girls’ school that was destroyed by fire in the early 19th century. A few meters from the modern school is a mass grave where the victims of the fire of 1800 were buried. The mother site of the cemetery makes the whole area quite scary.

There is a famous myth about a school worker who used to kill students and hide their bodies inside the school compound. People who have visited this place at night claim that strange things happen! From weird sounds, flashing lights, ghost attacks, you name it. Some people have even claimed to have seen a man dressed in black and others have gone a step further and tried to listen to the sobbing of a young woman. Whether these claims are true or not, Academia (Juniata County) is surely one of the spookiest places in Pennsylvania.

#3 Mudlick Hollow, Brighton Borough
Mudlick Hollow truly deserves to be ranked on our top list of Hauntings in Pennsylvania. This place is really creepy and scary especially at night. It is believed that in the early 19th century, some kind of spell struck a young couple who had just arrived from their wedding in a horse-drawn carriage.

Along the way, a small wild animal emerged from the surrounding bushes startling the horses. This forced the horses to veer off the trail and into Mudlick Creek. The young couple suffered serious injuries and died immediately. You can imagine how painful it is to slowly die next to your newlywed girlfriend who is also groaning in pain.

Anyway, nowadays, the locals claim that fog appears on this section of the road. At night you can hear the sound of an approaching horse-drawn carriage. As the procession approaches, it stops instantly followed by the sound of a crash and shouts. After this, all is silent and the mist lifts. Phew! You can’t even imagine what it’s like to visit this creepy place at night. I’m sure you’ll be scared to death.

#4 The Subway, Canonsburg
Our last mention in this comprehensive list of the 4 best ghosts in Pennsylvania is this ghost-infested site. According to history, the Subway (Canonsburg) was built on land formerly occupied by a former nursing home. People who work here claim to hear ghosts whispering in their ears, doors opening and closing, and strangers calling their names at night! Can you imagine spending an entire night with a ghost that knows your name? In addition to the strange voices, the security cameras that are installed throughout this place often capture a bleak picture. The exact identity of the owner of the shadow has not yet been established, although people claim that he belongs to Mr. Fred (the ghost that rules this place at night).

That’s it for our Top 4 Hauntings in Pennsylvania list today. We hope you found it interesting, scary and fun to follow. Sorry to scare the faint of heart, and good luck in your efforts to learn more about ghosts in Pennsylvania.
