If you're looking to get your spooky on this Halloween, you can't do better than this Minnesota attraction, which was just named one of the Scariest Haunted Houses in the World!

The Land of 10,000 Lakes isn't exactly a slouch when it comes to hosting some amazing Halloween attractions every year. According to the site, Minnesota Haunted Houses, you can get your fill of the scary season at:

  • 52 Pumpkin patches
  • 45 Hayrides
  • 35 Corn mazes
  • 14 Haunted houses

But among all those fabulous Minnesota fall events, there is only *one* Halloween event that has just been named one of the 7 Scariest Haunted Houses in the World! That's the word from this recent Forbes story that just included this Minnesota attraction.

That would be the Duluth Haunted Ship. That's right, this scary attraction in Minnesota's Twin Ports isn't just located near Lake Superior, it's actually *ON* the big lake they call Gitche Gumee, inside the 700-foot S.S. William A. Irvin.

According to the Duluth Haunted Ship site:

The ghouls on board are waiting to morph the William A. Irvin historic freighter into something truly sinister. This year, you can look forward to more activity outside of the ship on Harbor Drive as well. There are strewn lights, bonfires, drinks and food available for purchase, and more.

Forbes points out that the freighter might be genuinely haunted too. It was apparently the site of a tragedy when in 1964, a sailor onboard was killed during a boiler room accident. Since then, the story goes, there have been 'unexplained shadows, phantom footsteps and other strange events like employees having objects thrown at them while doing maintenance work,' Forbes says.
