That Black Shuck one sounds good. Although I wouldn't want to see Black Shuck, because seeing him is supposed to be a harbinger of doom.

There are also tours in Williamsburg, Virginia. Nightly tours are visited by school children as part of their early Virginia heritage trips. Spooky fun for the kids.

Boston's Ghosts & Graveyards tour is supposedly quite good.

A Salem Witch day trip is also worth looking into.

The Salem Witch tours are more informative than scary, but the history is really fascinating, and there are some great Halloween shops, as well as the Salem Witch Museum.

Asheville, North Carolina has a ghost tour of town.  Of course, it's silly, but the stories are interesting.  And one gets to walk around and see Asheville,

Been on the ghost tours in Asheville and St. Augustine before. Both are pretty fun.
