Forget about those inane amusement park attractions. Real haunted houses can be found all around America.

We’re referring to the genuine, terrifying-as-possible haunted houses.

Locals swear they can hear voices in the homes where alleged serial killers dumped their victims. Murders and suicides often take place in the same locations where stories of entire families vanishing into thin air are said to have originated.

In order to convey how unsettling these locations are, photographer Seph Lawless braved these crumbling and decaying structures for his latest photo book, “13: Hauntingly Beautiful” The captions for the pictures include details from some supporting news sources along with the legends and stories Lawless has heard about the houses depicted in the pictures.

On Halloween night, Lawless will spend the night in one of these vacant homes and broadcast the experience live online. His Instagram followers will vote to determine which house gets selected.
