How do you feel about word jumbles? You know, unscrambling letters to see what words they form?
I’ve always loved them. I’m not always good at them, but I do love brain teasers like that. (I rock at word searches, though. It’s the one thing I’m freaky fast at.)
Anyway, for Paranormal Day I thought it’d be fun to try making one. So I did! Let’s see how it turned out.
Will you be able to unscramble the names of these 10 famously haunted places? (If you get stuck, I’ll link to a solution sheet. But I won’t publish that until May 4.)
How to Play
- Unscramble the following letters.
- Each line spells the name of a haunted place.
- Some letters are capitalized. Those start a word. (That’s me helping you cheat a bit. If I do this again I might not be so generous!)
Example: Eesttrn State Peeirantiany
Answer: Eastern State Penitentiary
They start out easy and get harder.
Good luck!

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
