One for the Road: Ghost Hunter's Guides
Calling all paranormal adventurers -- ready for a Halloween ghost hunt? Cardiology specialist and ghost hunter Jeff Dwyer's latest guide reveals details about over 70 haunted hangouts around the Crescent City. The Ghost Hunter's Guide to New Orleans provides historical background on the spooky stories that have made these locations legendary.
But no fears or frets if NOLA is not on your Halloween travel agenda. Ghost-lovers in Los Angeles and San Francisco can do hunting as well, using Dwyer's guides to those cities. Folks who might be up for hunting goblins in between sips of chardonnay will want to pick up his Ghost Hunter's Guide to California's Wine Country, due out next year. (A guide to haunted locales in Seattle is forthcoming as well.) Whether or not you believe in the paranormal, these guides might be fun to have if you are traveling to these cities this Halloween season, or on any family vacation when you want to spook the heck out of your Aunt Martha.
Bonus for California residents: You can actually join up with Dwyer for ghost hunts taking place on Saturday, Oct. 13 at Acres of Books (1 pm) and Under the Bridge (5 pm). And he'll be signing books at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose on Oct. 27 (6 pm). Boo!

I wish I had that when I went in February! I took a ghost tour that wasn't too bad. Very cool stories, but would love to go back and see a few more.
Here in the DC metro area, there are some great tours. Leesburg, VA is a terrific place to take a tour during halloween. And Alexandria, VA apparently has a good one too. I'm trying that one this year.
