Three Haunted Houses for the Weekend

#1 Whaley House
Visitors and employees report seeing or hearing the ghosts of former owners Thomas and Anna Whaley. Thomas' ghost resides near the landing at the top of the staircase, while Anna's stays downstairs or in the garden. Regis Philbin is among those who claimed to have seen Mrs. Whaley's ghost. The scent of cigar smoke and perfume have mysteriously arisen at times.


#2 The White House
First Lady Abigail Adams; First Lady Dolly Madison; Andrew Jackson; Abraham Lincoln. Seen by Eleanor Roosevelt; Jimmy Carter's daughter; George W. Bush;  Woodrow Wilson's wife. The White House could make a killing off offering presidential ghost tours.


#3 The Villisca Axe Murder House
Now a murder-themed bed and breakfast, the Villisca Aex Murder House was home to the most gruesome murder in Villisca, IA. On June 10, 1912; Josiah Moore, his wife Sarah and their four children invited Lena and Ina Stillinger, to spend the night at the Moore house. After the family and their guests turned in for the night, someone entered the house and used Josiah Moore's axe to crush the skulls of every person in the house while they slept. No one was ever convicted of the murders, and those murdered still reside within the macabre attraction.
