24. Haunted Parks: Death Valley National Park, California

Morbid Outdoors

It got its name after death for a reason. Death Valley National Park has claimed the lives of many since before its conception. Its dark history includes death, hanging someone twice, and ghost towns. Not to mention, it's surrounded by some weird stuff. Many visitors and some historians say that Death Valley still has some visitors still hanging around on the other side.
