The Whaley House: San Diego, California
Back in 1852, James “Yankee Jim” Robinson was hung by his neck for the crime of grand larceny. A few years later, Thomas and Anna Whaley built a house on the spot where Robinson died and soon enough, Yankee Jim’s ghost showed up, haunting the site. It's said his footsteps can be heard clumping around the house.

Yankee Jim isn’t the only specter, though—both Mr. and Mrs. Whaley, a young girl, and even the family dog have been known to make appearances from beyond the grave. The house is so thoroughly spooky that, according to TIME, in the 1960s, the U.S. Commerce Department classified the Whaley House as haunted.
