Fall is finally settled in and Halloween is right around the corner, so that means Spooky Season is in full effect. And what better way to get in the spirit of things than diving deep into tales of apparitions, mysterious urban legends and other stories of all the things that go bump in the night.
Thrillist compiled a list of the "most haunted place" in every state, finding chilling locations like "old state hospitals, murder sites, homes with talking dolls, and hotels [that] are so disturbing, they've served as the setting for some of the most iconic horror movies."
According to the list, the most haunted spot in Missouri is Main Street in St. Charles, with a stretch of shops that have had reports of objects disappearing and a mysterious voice speaking French. Here's what the site had to say about the reportedly most haunted spot in all of Missouri:
"This multicolored main drag look like the perfect setting for a Midwestern horror movie: charming, peaceful Main Street USA that's actually haunted by dozens of roaming spirits. The legend dates to 1853 when the old Borromeo Cemetery was moved and a number of the graves they dug up had no bodies in them. Those spirits are rumored to haunt the shops at 700 South Main Street, where objects vanish inexplicably and mysterious cooking smells emerge — as does, apparently, a deep-speaking French voice. The town is also home to a haunted community college, a haunted high school, and a haunted forest."
