Halloween Haunted Destinations For A Guys Trip

ManTripping.com is building a haunted destinations roundup for guys who want their fall trip to come with a ghost story. Salem and New Orleans are the obvious ones that everyone knows and we will probably include them, but the submissions we most want are the places our readers have not already heard of and offer some unique experiences that will send chills down the neck of even the strongest most manly men in our audience.

We are looking for haunted hotels and inns you can actually book, ghost tours and paranormal investigations worth the ticket, haunted pub crawls, cemeteries and historic sites with a real story, prisons, asylums, sanatoriums and ships open to visitors, haunted distilleries and breweries, spooky trains and boat tours, towns that go all in for October, and haunted houses and scream parks worth traveling for rather than the one in the local mall parking lot. Legends, folklore, and local history are the point, so tell us the story.

Some destinations with multiple entries may be bundled together.

Two things make a submission usable. First, the story - what happened there, who is supposed to haunt it, and what visitors report. Second, the trip - what a group of guys does with the rest of the weekend, including where they eat, where they drink, and what else is nearby. A haunted site with nothing around it is a stop, not a trip.

Destinations featured in this roundup will be published on ManTripping.com with potential additional features on MenWhoBlog.com and CouplePlaces.com. Only respond if you represent the destination, property, tour operator, or tourism organization you are submitting.

Deadline: September 11, 2026

Listing Type

We are only accepting submissions from tourism boards, destination marketing organizations, PR firms, and brand representatives with a direct relationship to the destination or travel experience being pitched. We are not seeking travel tips, blogger contributions, or general travel commentary.

Press Kits & Media Materials

Press kits, digital media assets, and destination materials are not required for inclusion but are sincerely appreciated. When media materials are provided — including high-resolution image libraries, destination fact sheets, story angles, or video assets — they create the opportunity for expanded coverage including stand-alone destination features, lifestyle content, and social and video content beyond the initial placement.

Please note our standard media materials policy:

  • Submitted digital press kits and media assets are retained for editorial reference and will not be returned or deleted upon request unless required by applicable law.
  • We welcome unsolicited press kits and media materials; however, receipt of unsolicited materials does not create any obligation on our part to feature, cover, or review the destination unless coverage has been specifically agreed upon in advance.

Press Trips

We are available for and actively interested in press trip opportunities. Our strong preference is for individual or small-group itineraries rather than large group press trips, as this allows for more focused coverage tailored to our specific editorial niches. That said, we are open to considering all press trip and FAM trip opportunities related to men's travel and lifestyle — if you believe it is a strong fit, please reach out.
