Bran Castle in Transylvania<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Bran-Castle-Transylvania.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nFueled by Bram Stoker’s classic novel and countless movie adaptations, the very name Transylvania<\/em> sends shivers down the spine! No wonder it\u2019s become a haven for horror seekers and wannabe blood-suckers all year round. (A glass of type \u2018A\u2019 for me please!) Use your cheap round trip flights<\/a> to fly into Cluj-Napoca<\/a> and travel one hundred miles through the Romanian landscape keeping an ever-watchful eye out for wolves skulking alongside the imposing Carpathian mountain range. Look out for flying bats (and flying guano) as you near the city of Brasov, home of Bran Castle, the reputed home of everyone\u2019s favorite fang-flashing vampire\u2014Dracula himself!<\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore you start the castle tour, put yourself in the mood with a visit to the nearby villages where legends speak of immortal undead<\/em> spirits haunting locals by night! Creepy!<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese days you may be more likely to bump into the evening cow parade than any cloak-waving vampires, but Transylvania is so worth a visit, if only to marvel at its unspoiled landscape, churches, castles, and folklore-filled mystery. (Your friends will love getting the postcard too!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Castle museum tours<\/a> are open to scare 9am-6pm daily (Mondays from noon) in summer and 9am-4pm daily (except Monday) in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeattle’s Underground City<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"James](\"http:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Seattle-Skyline-Clouds.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe all know Seattle<\/a> is famed for its underground grunge music, but did you know that Seattle actually has its own underground<\/em> city?<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeattle was built too near sea level and flooded often, so when a large part of the city burned down back in 1889, developers decided to raise the foundations of the new city by 32 feet. (Made crossing roads quite difficult!) Several years later, the bubonic plague drove the final stragglers from the old sea-level streets, leaving these dusty alleyways to the criminals and the rats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, you can journey through what\u2019s left of the old city<\/a> pretty much as it was back in its gold prospecting days, but don\u2019t expect to find your fortune on this subterranean adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnderground tours run daily except Christmas and Thanksgiving. Guides inject some local color and humor into their tours\u2014 but it\u2019s still pretty creepy under there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spooky South of Savannah<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Whytock](\"http:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Savannah-Cemetery-Statue.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOf course, no self-respecting terror town list would be complete without mentioning the Queen of them all, Savannah, Georgia<\/a>! This Southern spooksville has been the subject of more alarming anecdotes detailing sinister happenings and mysterious goings-on than a full-length Scooby-Doo movie! From ghostly apparitions to seriously creepy cemeteries, this poltergeist paradise is the epicenter of ectoplasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSavannah gently relishes her macabre status with plenty of tours and meticulously maintained mansions shaded by mossy trees, but she also embraces her natural eeriness, luring big-name Hollywood movies into her cold grasp. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil<\/em> was set here, and is it just us, or is anyone else still screaming after watching Cape Fear?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou may also like: Experience Spooky Savannah, Georgia in 24 Hours!<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nTraipse Through the Tower of London<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Ferenz](\"http:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Tower-of-London.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you fancy hopping over the pond to experience how British ghosts sound (do their howls have accents?) make sure to visit London\u2019s<\/a> most haunted building! The infamous Tower of London is steeped in horrific history.<\/p>\n\n\n\nScreaming prisoners were tortured, butchered, beheaded, and quartered here, whilst flocks of inky ravens looked on. Numerous sightings of apparitions have been reported over the years in many of the Castle’s towers and halls, and there are even reports of a ghostly perfume nauseating guards and visitors near the entrance to St. Johns Chapel! (Casper the Unwashed Ghost,<\/em> perhaps?)<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Tower<\/a> is a fascinating reminder of London\u2019s dark and violent past and offers visitors many different ways to enjoy its blood-stained history. You can lust after the priceless Crown Jewels (don\u2019t touch!) that are fiercely guarded here or just wander around the grounds and halls taking in the scenic city landscape whilst waiting for a beheaded Queen to float by!<\/p>\n\n\n\nSituated on the North Bank of the River Thames, this popular and eerie attraction is easy to get to, and a great day out for all the family. Just don\u2019t blame us if you have nightmares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The West Virginia Penitentiary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.cheapoair.com\/miles-away\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/West-Virginia-Penitentiary.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow does a visit to an old, disused penitentiary in West Virginia<\/a> to walk with the restless souls of inmates who lost their lives within its fortified walls sound to you? Fun? Really? As if an empty jail at night isn\u2019t creepy enough, the West Virginia Penitentiary located in Moundsville has frequent ghost sightings, most commonly the maintenance man<\/em> who hangs out by the basement bathroom! (Hey, even ghosts have to go now and again!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
