An adventure through 5 of the most haunted places in the US, and their
connections to famous Historical Events
An Introduction
This tour is designed for a high school level classroom. It could potentially
be used in a history/English class, or even a journalism class.Taking
inspiration from the season, I decided to make a presentation that I
thought would engage and intrigue students. It is based around the 5 most
haunted places in the United States and the history based around these
myths and stories. It expands from facts about the civil war to forts that
were operating during the revolutionary war.
I think this is an engaging way for students to do some personal research
and self-based learning around history, while building off an intriguing
concept.This is something I would use in a classroom around October
because students have their minds on Halloween, therefore making this
lesson relevant to them.
