The green space that is Washington Square Park used to be a cemetery, and its believed that there are 20,000 people still buried there.

Continuing the spooky theme, a townhouse at 14 West 10th Street is nicknamed the “House of Death,” and is said to be haunted by 22 ghosts. The most famous 'resident' is Mark Twain, who lived there from 1900-1901.
