Kansas, Ellinwood - The Underground Saloon & Bar - The historic Wolf Hotel was founded in 1894 as a bank and hotel with an underground library and speakeasy. In 2013, Ellinwood native Christopher McCord took over and restored it to its full glory. With over a century's worth of history, including an embezzlement scheme that led to a suicide in 1908, and a suicide in the dining room in 1927, it should come as no surprise that some of the building's spirits remain. There have also been sightings of a small girl, and it's not uncommon for staff to hear random footsteps or see doors opening and closing on their own. Don't miss Sunday brunch, when fried chicken and chicken-fried steak dinners are served in the dining room by staff dressed up in period attire. (You'll also notice a place setting in honor of the man who committed suicide in the room.) After dinner and a slice of homemade pie, you'll get to go on a tour of the underground tunnels, where the ghosts are said to spend most of their time. Friday and Saturday nights are your chance to soak up the speakeasy vibes — don't miss the signature cocktail, Miss Sally's hard cherry limeade. Have you ever dined at this restaurant?

Kentucky, Paducah - Shandies - Shandies, a restaurant housed inside the old Cohen building in downtown Paducah, wants guests to abide by their motto, "Relax, savor and enjoy." With an eclectic pub menu and warm ambience, it's easy to do. Until your salt and pepper shakers tip over on their own accord and chairs start moving by themselves. The building is purportedly haunted by the spirit of Stella Cohen Peine, who died in the upstairs apartment. Her two dobermans, who guarded the building while she was alive, were found guarding her body when she passed away. On opening night, a party goer swore she saw a doberman ghost walk through the room. Other mysterious happenings include glasses falling from the bar, flickering lights and unexplained "cold spots" in the room. Ease your jitters with chef Karla Lawrence's creative comfort food signatures such as her sweet-savory-spicy deviled eggs or the smoked Gouda mac n cheese, but don't sleep on specials like peach barbecue chicken or the Tijuana-inspired street tacos. Wash it all down with one of "the Shandies," like the Kentucky Shandy, which teams up Goodwood Brewing Co.'s Louisville Lager with Select Stock Bird Dog Bourbon.

Louisiana, New Orleans - Muriel's - When Muriel's opened in 2001 in New Orleans' French Quarter, its mission was to be more than just a restaurant. Co-owner Denise Gratia says they wanted it to be a venue that excites all the senses, and the restaurant has since lived up to its name with some hair-raising happenings. Book the Ghost Table, which is set each night with bread and wine to appease the spirit of its resident ghost, Pierre Antoine Lepardi Jourdan, who just might join you for supper. The spooky vibes continue upstairs — in the back corner is the Séance Lounge which is mysteriously chillier than the rest of the place. Many diners have experienced such bizarre paranormal activity here that they've emailed or messaged photos of ethereal images to the owners. Regulars and employees alike have witnessed glasses falling off the shelves when no one is around and wine bottles inexplicably falling out of their storage bins. But it's not just about the ghosts at Muriel's. Seriously good eats include the fan-favorite crepes, stuffed with goat cheese and topped with a creamy crawfish sauce, or the wood-grilled double-cut pork chop, served with a duo of Southern sides including pecan sweet potatoes and greens. If you're dining in October, wash it all down with the Vampire's Kiss, where lemon vodka mingles with a cranberry-balsamic reduction that gives it just the right bite.

Maine, Freeport - Jameson Tavern - As one of the oldest operating taverns in Maine, Freeport's Jameson Tavern is steeped in history. It's even known as the "Birthplace of Maine," as commemorated by a plaque that was donated by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The building was first the family home of Dr. John Anglier Hyde before Captain Samuel Jameson and his wife took it over in 1801. For the next two decades, it was a well-known meeting place for prominent businessmen and luminaries such as the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Its taproom also earned a reputation for its convivial atmosphere and fine spirits. These days, spirits aren't only of the quaffable variety. There have been sightings of a tall gentleman in a top hat, the trail of a little girl's dress disappearing around the dining room corners and objects falling off the counter. You never know when you might encounter something off-kilter, but you can always count on a taste of super fresh Maine seafood. There's the daily lobster roll and clam chowder special, a lobster stew — which Bobby Flay has called one of the best he's ever tasted — as well as the lobster-studded Down East fondue.

Maryland, Baltimore - The Horse You Came in On Saloon - The Horse You Came in On Saloon, locally known in Baltimore as "The Horse," was established in 1775 and is America's oldest continually operating saloon (even during Prohibition). Over the centuries, it's become a Fell's Point institution known for its live music and lively atmosphere. The energy levels are high, which perhaps explains why floating orbs — believed to be a form of spirits' energy — have been spotted at the bar. The most famous ghostly legend is that of writer Edgar Allen Poe. The Horse was the last place he was seen before he mysteriously passed away in 1849. There have been rumors of his ghost walking down the street on his way to the saloon and bartenders even used to leave out a glass of cognac for him (though the bar no longer serves it). These days, the bar is known for its house-infused spirits such as tequila, in which flavors like jalapeno, pineapple and strawberry make for a very spirited margarita indeed. This is Maryland, so crab is king: opt for signature snacks such as the crab pretzel, a soft pretzel topped with warm crab dip, or the crab cake sliders. Have you ever dined at this restaurant?
