Spooky Sites, Historic Ties, and Modern Risks

It's spooky season once more, ghost followers! For those who revel in the eerie whispers of tales from beyond the grave, you’re in for a treat. Unearth some haunted spots in the US—those with a Pinkerton connection—where history lingers like a bone-chilling breeze on a moonless night.

Take Pennsylvania’s Eastern State Penitentiary, for example, once a fortress for the wicked, where Pinkerton agents ensured some of the most ruthless bank robbers did their time. Do their restless spirits remain on this earthly plane? Some say yes, but we'll let you decide!

How about Savannah's Ghostly Graveyard? Even the shadows shiver when recalling how Allan Pinkerton himself trudged past in pursuit of Adams Express's train robbers. These legacies of mischief still murmur through the moss-draped oaks. (Think you can visit in the dead of night for extra chills, think again.)

And Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, home to the Pinkerton family plot, it’s a site echoing with stories untold. In true Pinkerton fashion, the Agency’s shadow operatives buried there are neither seen nor heard—resting in peace after successfully completing their earthly business, some might say—but other ethereal residents might just offer a more...lively experience.

Dare to follow these spectral traces and keep one thing in mind—crime risk waits for no ghost. The Pinkerton Crime Index gives you the lowdown on the earthly risks you'll face at each spot. Swipe through our spooky carousel and feel free to plan your ghoulish getaway. But remember, when ghosts are your guides, being safe never goes out of style.

Know your risk. Be safe.
