Browse by category

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

Lighthouses

Lighthouses are often thought to be haunted because they are located next to large, moving bodies of water. There are many lighthouses located near beaches that are perilous because ships have crashed there, resulting in a large number of deaths. These deaths could be linked to ghostly sightings. Lighthouses are also often haunted by lighthouse keepers or their families, as they frequently lived in extreme solitude, which could lead to emotional discomfort and even violence, perhaps creating leftover energy as well as their feeling the need to continue their work to keep sailors safe on the high seas. The aura surrounding haunted lighthouses is enhanced by the fact that much local folklore and many stories about them have been passed down through the years.

School Buildings

Paranormal beliefs suggest that school buildings may be considered haunted because they often have a history of significant life events, including tragic accidents, suicides, or deaths of students and staff. These events could leave behind lingering spirits attached to the place they occurred. The high emotional intensity in a school environment, with both positive and negative experiences, could contribute to a perceived "haunted" feeling. If someone spends a lot of time in the building while it's open and active and then finds it empty, it can be strange and disorienting.

Libraries

Libraries are typically old buildings with a rich history; they are filled with stories and knowledge contained within books, which could attract lingering spirits who may want to continue learning or experiencing the stories even after death. Additionally, the quiet and secluded nature of a library can contribute to a heightened sense of the paranormal. This characteristic is one of the reasons libraries are frequently considered potentially haunted locations. One also needs to consider the land that the library is built upon. Paranormal activity is often tied to the land and not the particular structure. If there has been paranormal activity within buildings that have been razed and a new building is built in that location, the activity may continue in the new structure.
