A Gentlemen’s Club Haunted by a Little Girl & 5 More Places to Meet Ghosts in Boise

The Oldest City in America is also One of the Most Haunted

Ever hear of St. Augustine? Nestled on the northeastern coast of Florida, it's the longest-inhabited city in America. Some tourists love the coastal town founded in 1556 for it's stunning Spanish colonial architecture and it's namesake beach. But paranormal enthusiasts will tell you they're smitten with the city's vibrant supernatural activity.

According to Ghost Hunters of A&E TV, the St. Augustine Lighthouse (featured in the clip below) is the "site of some of the most compelling paranormal evidence ever captured" in the show's history. Day or night, locals are accustomed to floating orbs and ghostly apparitions appearing in the windows of old buildings and on the streets.

We'd expect nothing less in a centuries-old city, but what about a much younger metropolis like Boise?

Boise's "Baby" Ghosts

Compared to those of St. Augustine, Boise's ghostly residents are practically babies. They've only come about over the course of the city's 160-year existence. Yet despite this, Idaho has been investigated and featured on the Travel Channel's Ghost Hunters five times, including a stop at Boise's notoriously haunted Old Idaho Penitentiary.

During their visit to the Old Pen (in the clip below), the Ghost Hunters believed they saw the apparition of Raymond Snowden, Idaho's Jack the Ripper and the last man hanged at the prison.
