# 1 Abington Presbyterian Church
This church was built in 1779 after removing a cemetery from its construction site. Since then, the ghost of the child has been seen around this church. With the cemetery now located just a few feet away, locals claim to have seen a child standing around the church’s doors and windows at night. Some of the members of this church have also testified seeing a child appear during prayer sessions that take place within the church. Believe it or not, there is nothing quite as scary as a ghost that appears during prayers. This is without a doubt one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania.
# 2 Academy-Juniata County
This place has long been known as one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania. The current setting is on the site of an old woman’s school that was destroyed by fire in the early 1800s. A few meters from the modern school is a mass grave where the victims of the 1800 fire were buried. The mere site of the cemetery makes the entire area quite terrifying.
There is a famous myth about a school worker who used to kill students and hide their bodies on school grounds. People who have visited this place at night claim that strange things happen! From strange sounds, flashing lights, ghost attacks, you name it. Some people have even claimed to have seen a man dressed in black attracted and others have gone one step further and testified upon hearing the sobs of a little girl. Whether these claims are true or not, the Academy (Juniata County) is without a doubt one of the creepiest places in Pennsylvania.
# 3 Mudlick Hollow, Brighton Township
The Mudlick Hollow really deserves to be ranked on our top list for Hauntings in Pennsylvania. This place is really haunting and scary, especially at night. It is believed that in the early 1800s, some kind of spell struck a young couple who had just arrived from their wedding in a horse-drawn carriage.
Along the way, a small wild animal emerged from the surrounding bushes scaring the horses. This forced the horses to veer off the road and into Mudlick Creek. The young couple suffered serious injuries and died immediately. You can imagine how painful it is to slowly die alongside your newlywed girlfriend who is also moaning in pain.
Anyway, nowadays, locals claim that a fog appears on this stretch of the road. At night you can hear the sound of an approaching horse drawn carriage. As the procession approaches, it stops instantly followed by the sound of a crash and shouts. After this, everything goes quiet and the fog clears. Phew! You can’t even imagine what it’s like to visit this mysterious place at night. You will surely die of fear.
# 4 The Subway, Canonsburg
Our latest mention in this comprehensive list of the 4 best Hauntings in Pennsylvania is this ghost-infested site. According to history, the metro (Canonsburg) was built on the land that previously occupied a former nursing home. People who work here claim to have heard ghosts whispering in their ears, doors opening and closing, and strange people calling them by name at night. Can you imagine spending a whole night with a ghost who knows your name? In addition to the strange voices, security cameras installed throughout the venue often capture a dark image. The exact identity of the owner of the shadow has yet to be established, although people claim that it belongs to Mr. Fred (the ghost that rules this place at night).
