This East Texas town can lay claim to an impressive, unlikely history. In the 19th century, though far inland, it was second only to Galveston as the busiest port in Texas. It's also known as one of the best cities in the state for bed-and-breakfast getaways. Now it's known as the most haunted small town in Texas due to fame on the Travel, Discovery and SciFi channels, says Jodi Breckenridge, guide for the Historic Jefferson Ghost Walk. [ Visit Website ]
