3. Beulah Road

3 - Beulah Road - 10 Most Haunted Hikes in Pennsylvania

On your haunted hikes in Pennsylvania, you must try walking down the Beulah Road on Wopsononock Mountain in Altoona.

The ghost who haunts this road is a lady dressed in white, and she wanders up and down the road every evening, looking for her husband.

Years ago, there was a hotel at the top of this road, which burned down years ago.

Earlier before the fire, a young couple snuck away to get married, and they planned to visit the hotel for their honeymoon.

Their father did not approve of the marriage, so the couple had to flee up the road for safety at the hotel.

Sadly, the carriage they were taking up the hill went off the road, and both the woman and her husband fell over the edge of the cliff and died.

The body of the woman was found a few days later, but the body of her husband was never recovered.

Now, many visitors say that they can see a woman in white walking along this road, searching for her lost husband.

Beulah Road is one of the sadder haunted hikes in Pennsylvania, because the ghost here was not murdered, instead she still pines away for her lost love.

People call her the White Lady of Wopsononock or the White Lady of the Buckthorn, and many different visitors have seen her over the years.

Sometimes she will even appear to those who drive along the road, even though she disappears as soon as their cars stop.

10. Coal Mine in Hastings

10 - Coal Mine in Hastings - 10 Most Haunted Hikes in PennsylvaniaNear the small mining town of Hastings, there is a well-known coal mine that used to be popular in the town.

Many miners lived and worked in the area without problems, until three working miners came to town and had a different plan.

They worked at the mine for a few months while they scoped out the town and chose a victim for their next robbery.

A widow lived in the town as well after losing her husband in a mining accident one day.

People in the town knew that she was not wealthy, but the miners thought that she had hidden jewelry in her house.

They burst in to steal her jewelry and shot the widow’s son, who was there visiting his mother.

He passed way, and the miners hid out during the police investigation to escape the murder charge.

They dropped off their stolen wealth in an abandoned mine tunnel and made plans to go back for it once the police left.

As soon as they did, the thieves got together and started digging up what they had stolen.

Because they had stored the jewelry in an abandoned mine tunnel, they were not very careful as they were digging.

They accidentally dug through the riverbank and let in a rush of water, which killed all of them before they could escape.

The widow was never able to recover her jewelry, but she did get justice after the bodies were found.

Their shouts can still be heard on nights when the river is high.
