As if the town of Salem, MA didn’t have enough haunted history, Count Orlok's Nightmare Gallery Monster Museum adds a spine-chilling cherry on top. Bring Fido along to view over 60 life-size realistic wax reproductions of classic horror movie characters created by Hollywood special effects artists. Take your pup’s pic with Michael Myers, Reverend Henry Kane from “Poltergeist,” and the original Pennywise the Clown. After your tour, stop by the gift shop to purchase creepy swag to remember your visit. Tickets should be purchased in advance, especially during October.

While you’re in town, bring your small pup to The Witch House at Salem and take a Ghost Tour. Then, if you’re able to fall asleep, rest up at The Salem Inn.

The 2002 film, “Mothman Prophecies,” starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney, was loosely based on events that transpired in the small town of Point Pleasant, WV, in the late 1960s. Today, the Mothman Museum highlights some of those events along with props from the movie. As you and your pup stroll through the museum, you can read newspaper clippings about Mothman sightings, watch videos from the Silver Bridge disaster that claimed 46 lives, and snap photos with creepy replicas of the creature. Fido can also have his picture taken with the large Mothman statue outside and shop for unique gifts in the museum store and at the neighboring Point Pleasant Trading Company.

Don’t be alarmed if you dream of red eyes in the dark during your stay with Fido just across the Silver Memorial Bridge at Hampton Inn Gallipolis.

Just because something is bizarre doesn’t necessarily mean it’s creepy, but at the Museum of the Bizarre in Wilmington, NC, the two terms go hand-in-hand. During your visit with Fido, you’ll see oddities like the Crystal Skull of Knowledge, a chupacabra hand, Alexander Hamilton's hair, Bigfoot's imprint, Houdini's Ouija board, and a variety of strange movie props like the Annabelle doll and Mr. Pinhead from "Hellraiser". You can even take your curious pooch in the mirror maze or through the laser escape room.

Make sure Fido keeps his paws off Houdini’s Ouija board and avoids bringing any unwanted guests back to your room at Front Street Suites.

If you and your pooch are on the hunt for all things freaky but true, The Freakybuttrue Peculiarium and Museum in Portland, OR has you covered. Established in 1967, this one-of-a-kind museum and art gallery is home to interactive exhibits for all six senses. You’ll find plenty of fun photo opportunities, giant monsters and creepy scenes keeping Portland weird. If you’re feeling hungry during your visit, grab a bite from The Snackery and then shop for off-the-wall souvenirs like books, candles, T-shirts and art in the gift shop.

Take your finds back to your room at Residence Inn Portland Downtown/Pearl District.

Do you believe? After Fido visits The Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey, CO, he certainly will. This museum of all things Bigfoot is a must-see. Small dogs that can be carried are welcome to tour the museum to see footage, figurines and evidence, and read about encounters with the mysterious creature. The museum store also boasts the largest selection of Sasquatch souvenirs anywhere in the Western U.S., including a bandana for Fido and a variety of camping supplies and gear to get your squatching adventure started!

Before you and your four-legged ‘squatch hunter head out on your own search, rest up at nearby Bailey Lodge.

Two hours west of Point Pleasant, where the Mothman mystery is still unsolved, another mythical creature haunts The Mountain State. Bring Fido to the Flatwoods Monster Museum in Sutton, where you can both learn about the mysterious creature reported to have crash-landed in the town in 1952. Just let the owners know you’re bringing your pup inside so they can put the resident cat in the back. Then, browse through the exhibitions, which include collections of artifacts, historic items, memorabilia, books, and more, and snag some merch of the monster known as “Braxie” while you’re there. After your visit, stop by the five Flatwoods Monster chairs in town and take Fido’s picture. Photograph all five chairs and the visitor’s bureau will give you a “Free Braxie” sticker.

If you’re willing to spook yourself out, take Fido camping in the woods at Gerald Freeman Camp Campground and tell stories of the Flatwoods Monster around the campfire.

While you may not find Treasure Trolls from the 90s or the DreamWorks “Trolls” movie to be creepy, the history and folklore at The Troll Hole Museum might haunt Fido’s dreams at night. Not to mention, the building housing the museum has been known to give the owners and visitors some scares with orbs on video, footsteps, voices and troll dolls moving around. This unique museum in Alliance, OH is in the “Guinness Book of World Records” for having the largest troll doll collection. Bring your pooch in to see for yourself and grab a cup of Grumpy Troll Coffee. Then, shop the gift shop while you’re there.

You won’t have to cross any troll-guarded bridges to get to your dog-friendly room at Hampton Inn & Suites Alliance.

For an out-of-this-world experience with your pup, look no further than the International UFO Museum in Roswell. The museum is committed to chronicling stories and preserving materials related to the infamous 1947 ‘Roswell Incident,’ as well as other UFO events from around the globe. Put a tin foil hat on Fido and bring him to the museum to explore decades of supernatural history, research, and science. Before you leave, stop by the gift shop to purchase an ‘Alien Hunter’ dog shirt for your canine earthling. Afterward, visit Roswell UFO Spacewalk to take your pooch on a blacklight adventure through a spaceship and alien planet, and end the day at Alien Zone for more souvenirs and wacky photo ops.

If the thought of little green Martians doesn’t scare Fido away, book a room at The Roswell Inn, the self-proclaimed crash pad recommended by 9 out of 10 aliens.

Let Fido sink his fangs into history and folklore at VAMPA Vampire & Paranormal Museum in Bucks County, PA. The museum showcases vampire and paranormal artifacts, sculptures, and antiques, some dating back to the 1700s. If your pup isn’t too scared, he can check out vampire-killing tools, original talking boards, vampire kits, sculptures, and an intact exorcism chair. Outside on the five-acre property, there’s a dinosaur park for children, a Zen garden, and free-roaming peacocks, so be sure to keep Fido on a leash.

You won’t be sleeping in coffins during your stay at Ash Mill Farm Bed and Breakfast. The farmhouse has seven cozy rooms and a cook-to-order breakfast menu.

Well-behaved pets on short leashes are invited to tour the International Cryptozoology Museum in Bangor, ME. As the world's only cryptozoology museum, it features a wide range of exhibitions, including rare, one-of-a-kind scientific and zoological specimens, popular cultural homages, and anthropological and psychological acknowledgements of sightings and folk traditions. Where else can you find actual hair samples of Abominable Snowmen, Bigfoot, Yowie and Orang Pendek?

Fido won’t have to worry about nightmares from the day’s adventure when he sleeps in the comfort of this charming Bangor home.
