This story was originally published on Oct. 11, 2016, and is being republished due to its seasonal nature:

It's almost Halloween, which means it's the perfect time to spook yourself out with some of Pennsylvania's scariest sites. Luckily, Bucks County residents don't have to go far.

A Haunted Road Trip of Pennsylvania, created by the website Only In Your State, has three stops in Bucks County, including in Bristol, New Hope and Buckingham. The road trip is supposed to lead participants "to the scariest places in Pennsylvania."

The three local sites included on the haunted road trip are:

The King George Inn II, Bristol

Here's what the website says about the local inn:

Today, diners tell of ghostly sightings, including that of a man neatly dressed in a top hat and tails walking through the inn. Others tell of paintings suddenly falling off of the walls and doors opening and closing when no one's there.

Van Sant Covered Bridge, New Hope

Here's why the website included the bridge on the tour:

Local legend tells two different haunted tales of what happened on Van Sant Bridge - now known as Crybaby Bridge. In one tale, a man viciously murdered a woman and her infant on the bridge. His deed was repaid when he was hanged from the rafters of the bridge.

Hansell Road, Buckingham Township

The tour includes the road for its paranormal qualities, the website says:

A leisurely drive along Hansell Road, which leads into the forest, may seem like a peaceful way to spend an hour or so. But, if you believe in the paranormal, you may find that tranquility shattered when you begin to see mysterious objects, such as orbs glowing from the trees.

The 10-site road trip also includes Eastern State Penitentiary, Centralia and Pennhurst State Hospital and School.
