Welcome to our weekly feature ✨#HauntedHotSpot✨, where we take a deeper look at some of the most famous (and famously terrifying) sites in the world. ⁠
⁠
This week’s pick: The Mark Twain House⁠
⁠
Now a National Historic Landmark, this Hartford, Connecticut, residence was once home to author Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) and his family. Penning some of his most well-known works here (including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn), the author called these some of the happiest and most productive years of his life. However, after daughter Susy died of meningitis in 1896, the Clemens family was too heartbroken to continue living in the house and sold it in 1903. Today, the home is maintained as a museum and is said to be haunted by a "lady in white." In October, visitors can see for themselves during Graveyard Shift Ghost Tours. Filled with haunted history, dark tales and Victorian traditions, these nighttime tours are as educational as they are goosebump-inducing. (What a way to celebrate #Ghostober! 👻)⁠
