There is many ways to spend the night Halloween. There are those who prefer to pretend that this imported tradition does not exist; others are content to paint their faces for a costume party; The bravest chooses the horror movie and turns off all the lights in the house.
But there is another level: visit abandoned places (or notoriously haunted) on the scariest night of the year.
