America’s Most Haunted Neighborhood Is in Kentucky

When I was young, all us kids in the neighborhood would convene under a street light, "pull up" a piece of asphalt, have a seat, and tell ghost stories. We would adapt already familiar ones, in the annals of supernatural folklore, and make them local.

It hardly made ours the most haunted neighborhood in America, or even Kentucky, for that matter. We didn't care. We were having a blast. But if you do want to visit "America's most haunted neighborhood," it's right here in Kentucky.

That neighborhood is Old Louisville, and I have no reason to doubt that claim. I've been there. It's beautifully gothic and old. VERY old. And it's loaded with the kind of wonderful old homes you just don't see built anymore. I'm always pleased when areas like that are maintained.

In fact, David Dominé wrote a book about it called True Ghost Stories and Eerie Legends from America's Most Haunted Neighborhood. The Amazon blurb writer neatly sums up Dominé's eerie tome:

Over the last decade, so many stories of paranormal activity have surfaced that Old Louisville has gained the reputation as being one of the spookiest locations in the country. David Dominé discovered this for himself after purchasing an old home on Old Louisville’s famed Millionaires Row in 1999.

Dominé even hosts the popular Victorian Ghost Walk through Old Louisville, and it appears as if the actors are ready to give guests a spooky good time.

Here's Dominé himself speaking about this amazing old neighborhood:

But don't make it a one-stop during your visit to Louisville this Spooky Season. Visit one of the city's many top-rated haunted houses or the Jack-o'-Lantern Spectacular. Or do it all. There are too many things that go bump in the night in Kentucky's largest city to make it a short road trip.
