Just in time with the Halloween season, let's forget about amusements parks and discover some terrifying structures with eerie tales across the United States. And one of haunted properties is The Haught Mansion in Michigan were several dead bodies were found in the cellar of the mansion.

The Haught Mansion in Michigan is considered as one of the most evocatively stunning abandoned houses with a real-life horror story behind it. According to the Courier Mail, the mansion was used as a brothel for upscale gentlemen in 1941. In the mansion's cellar, several dead bodies were found with each body had been marked by what looked to be a perfect circle on the torso and chest areas.   

Michigan's Haught Mansion was one of America's real haunted houses with horror tales accompanying them. Seph Lawless, the photographer that captured the beauty of the abandoned eerie buildings, has established himself as one of the most esteemed photographers by documenting urban crumble across the United States. His poignant photographs of abandoned buildings, factories and residences accentuate the overwhelming effects of globalization.

Lawless usually travels across America in his hybrid vehicle, with a camera and a talent for discovering bizarre structures, and gathering tales of his journeys along the way. And next to his several adventures, the Huffington Post reported he stumbled upon a few frightening properties that include some ghostly stories.

In time for the Halloween, Lawless gathered the most impressively striking haunted properties in his coffee table book entitled, "13: An American Horror Story."  Each first-rate portrait displayed in the book is essentially dedicated for the macabre fanatics.

Seph Lawless flaunted the real-life haunted houses he has visited throughout his journey. And the slightly shocking histories based on actual events and personal tales made each of the pictures unique. He has gone from Texas, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Kentucky, Wisconsin and Connecticut to capture theses beautiful structures that were left to crumble while the rest of the nation is too terrified to notice.

Lawless' coffee table book features 13 pictures with short tales that go with them that are based on the actual events of his journey through America's most haunted houses. And one of the 13 is The Haught Mansion in Michigan.

"There is a growing number of people that have a need for feeling vulnerable and afraid. They want to experience fear as long as it's in a controlled environment," Lawless told a news website. "Now people can enjoy my dangerous and oftentimes horrifying journeys by simply viewing them on their smart phones from the comfort of their homes."

In his book, he photographed The Haught Mansion and The Temple Haunted Mansion in Michigan; Kentucky's Sayer House; The Nova House, The Milan Mansion, The Cleveland Home, The Akron Childhood Home and The Abandoned House in Ohio; The Hooley Haunted Mansion in Texas; The Doll House Mansion and The Oliver Family Mansion in Pennsylvania; Connecticut's The Bailey Mansion and The Cater House Estates in Buffalo, New York.

The tales that go with the pictures in the book, just like The Haught Mansion snapshot in Michigan, are what Lawless calls "creative nonfiction."

"It's taking real-life stories and making them appear to be fiction," he shared. "The goal is to make the reader become so enthralled by the details and the fantasy that they forget the story is real."

Lawless also said that nothing is scarier than the truth.

"So humanity invented lies, half-truths and misconceptions... mankind prefers to be deceived, so let it be," Lawless stated. "I hope people take away a more truthful depiction of their reality and surroundings after reading these stories."

The 13 photographs with the accompanying short tales, like Michigan's Haught Mansion from Seph Lawless can be previewed in The Huffington Post and The Courier Mail. Some of Lawless' photos are also seen on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
