Funny Halloween Town Names in America

Image by solyanka via FlickrFrom Denny:  Want to scare your pants off with a new address?  Who knew that a town's name could be so creepy - just in time for Halloween.

This comprehensive Halloween list was compiled by the folks over at AccuracyProject.org.  Some of these town names are directly associated with Halloween while others were not intentionally so but sure look like a good fit.  Some towns no longer exist or are virtual true ghost towns as they have dwindled down to just a few buildings or are completely abandoned.

Look at it this way, if you are a teacher this fun list will help motivate your students to enjoy geography class during the holiday season! For people who like to meander around on educational sites, check out AccuracyProject.org.

Some of the funnier names are Hell Hollow, Half Hell (now how do you get just half of Hell??) and Little Hell, towns found in three different states.  It just goes to show you that no matter how far we live apart our thinking is pretty much the same!
