Browse by category

We have several categories to choice from to browse the locations. Below we selected just a few random selections.

Abandoned Buildings

Ghost stories often center around old buildings or structures that have been abandoned and left to deteriorate, as they contribute to a spooky atmosphere. As time goes on, stories and traditions about strange events that take place in these locations might be handed down from one generation to the next, strengthening the belief in the lore. These stories frequently draw in those who are interested and courageous, since they want to feel the excitement of the unknown. Although the reports of hauntings at these locations may be more folklore in nature, there are some that may carry historical background that should be investigated, as they may be what caused the location to become abandoned in the first place.

Cemeteries

Most people believe cemeteries are void of paranormal activity because they are consecrated or because spirits don't return to their graves. However, cemeteries are often considered "haunted" because of their association with death and the unknown, as well as stories of disturbed graves, unmarked burials, tragic deaths, natural disasters that disrupt resting places, and the general sense of sadness and grief that surrounds a graveyard. All of these factors lead people to believe that spirits might linger in cemeteries.

Factories or Mills

Old factories or mills are often considered "haunted" because of their history of potentially tragic accidents, harsh working conditions, and the large number of people who may have died on site during their operation. These factors have led to stories of lingering spirits attached to the building due to the traumatic experiences associated with the location. The dilapidated state of many abandoned locations also contributes to a spooky atmosphere, further fueling the belief in hauntings. Furthermore, old mills are also located near moving bodies of moving water (waterfalls), which could potentially act as fuel for the spirits to manifest.
