Most of us aren’t likely before Halloween to make it to Transylvania to visit one of the most spookiest castles, and most well known, Bran Castle. However, I did find some equally eerie and possibly haunted castles right here in the United States that promise to be quite spirited. Find out why the Hearst Castle in California is filled with such mystery surrounding the millionaire. Hear about the eerie hauntings of Galveston, Texas following the Great Storm of 1900 and how Bishop Palace became one of Galveston's most haunted destination. Take a boat ride to Heart Island in the Thousand Islands in upstate New York to hear the heartbreaking story of Boldt Castle and why a lonely bride still wonders the island.
