Most people do not realize a love for something until having experienced it for the first time. Something that is extremely true when it comes to Paranormal Tourism. While there are a number of shows surrounding ghost hunting and movies like Ghostbusters, many do not take these type movies and shows seriously.
The introduction of spirits into the mainstream started quite some time ago, then was later enhanced in the 20th century by movies like Ghost and Ghostbusters. Back To The Future, Phenomenon and other films which reveal the supernatural in ways that could never be real have a part in creating this skepticism. Though, at the same time, offer pretty good insight into the ghostly, otherworldly and tragic aspects of aliens, demons, ghost and vampires.
Speaking of history, it seems a great number of ghost sightings and stories are related to historical events like the Civil War, or Holocaust. Not surprisingly, there have been many sightings in areas in which these events took place. One ghost tour related to an historical event is that of one in San Antonio, Texas related to the Alamo.
The ghost tour at the Alamo is different than many others in that the tour guides allow the tourists to use various paranormal equipment during the 90 minute tour. The equipment is most often distributed at the beginning of the tour in which the guests are allowed to tour the grounds of the Alamo in search of various responses to electromagnetic meters and other items. After which, the tour guide then takes the parties to other sites which have reported sightings.
There are also ghost tours in which the guides simply focus on the historical aspects of buildings. These tour guides may lack a fictional tale to go along with the notation of a haunting but generally tourists can sense a feeling of something supernatural. In some cases, guides go as far as to allow tourists to use ghost hunting equipment like those located at the Alamo. As the Alamo has a great deal of history and loss, it is reported to be one of the most haunted sights on the San Antonio ghost tour.
The most ghostly of the ghost tours in the United States is reported to be that of the Queen Mary, now docked in Long Beach, California. The Queen Mary has been featured on a number of ghost hunting shows and is quite well known. As many tourists have noted sightings which have been reported prior to touring the vessel, many more believe this ship to be haunted than believe in the haunting of other locations.
When it comes to haunted cities in the United States, most believe Savannah, Georgia and New Orleans, Louisiana to be the most haunted. St. Augustine, Florida being the oldest city is also rumored to have a number of ghosts residing within the city limits. Most often the ghosts in these areas are rumored to walk cemeteries, reside in bars, basements and historical mansions or roam the streets.
Whether one believes in the supernatural or otherwise, taking a ghost or vampire tour can be a great deal of fun. For those whom believe in UFOs and aliens, visiting Area 51 near Roswell and White Sands, New Mexico can provide for a fun outing. When it comes to vampires, taking a vampire tour in New Orleans, Louisiana may be as close as one can get to meeting a vampire.
