Located in San Diego, California, the Whaley House is often referred to as "America's Most Haunted House." Built in the mid-1800s, it has served as a family home, a courthouse, and even a site of public hangings. Many believe the spirits of those executed, as well as members of the Whaley family who suffered tragic fates, still haunt the house. Visitors and staff have reported eerie laughter, disembodied voices, and shadowy figures moving through the halls. The house's past is layered with sorrow, and stepping inside feels like stepping back in time—into a world where history refuses to rest.
