Browse by category

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

Poor Houses or County Homes

People often think that old, poor houses are "haunted" because they are more likely to have a tragic history, such as deaths that occurred in the house due to illness, accidents, inappropriate activities, or violence. These locations would also be used to house tuberculosis patients. Tragic events could leave behind "residual energy" that people interpret as ghostly activity. Additionally, the poor condition of these buildings can make people feel uneasy. These locations would be funded by local counties, but most have been closed in the mid-1980s to early 1990s due to lack of funding or reports of inappropriate activity. As a result, many of these abandoned sites have become the focus of urban explorers and paranormal enthusiasts, potentially stimulating the paranormal activity that is housed within.

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.

Bars or Pubs

People often think bars or pubs are haunted because they have been the site of violent and fatal events in the past or because spirits can become attached to places where people feel a sense of belonging or had a strong bond with the building or its owners. With its mix of happiness, sadness, and sometimes conflict, bars can be high-energy places where emotions can get intensified, which could harbor paranormal activity. Changes in ownership, renovations, or other uses can cause spirits to become restless. Some people say they see or experience paranormal behavior more easily when they're intoxicated because it might lower their inhibitions and change how they see things. Folklore and media often use the idea of a "haunted bar," which can make people believe that these places are even more likely to have supernatural behavior.
