It is true that one of the best movie lines of oral history. From "Ghostbusters" for  "Ghost" to "The Sixth sensea" Hollywood has had a fascination with the world beyond life. But why let Hollywood have all the fun? Maybe on your next vacation, youÂ'd like to try their own hand at ghost hunting.

Cars theme will take you and one other "ghost hunters" to various ghosts, the Whaley House, which some believe to be the most haunted house in America. (Okay, what does "more hauntedÂ" mean? For me, a ghost is only a heap).

Whaley House has a particularly sad story that sits atop a graveyard of some of the almost 9,000 Kumeyaay, one local Indian tribe who converted to Christianity by Father Junipero mission Serrao, who died of disease and violence. The Whaley family was held Many Kumeyaay as slaves. It said many of these Kumeyaay haunt the house today.
