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.

Government Buildings

The concept that government buildings, and the United States Capitol in particular, are haunted has their origins in a combination of historical occurrences, folklore, and the building's singular function as a symbol of authority and democracy. Tales of ghostly figures and unexplainable phenomena have resulted from this. Government buildings, like many other old buildings, have a rich history that is defined by both successes and tragedies. These tragedies include the deaths of famous individuals, political turbulence, and periods of national crises. As a result, the energy of these events often lingers, giving rise to stories that capture the imagination of visitors and locals alike. Visitors often feel uneasy or watched in these buildings, fueling the belief that they hold more than history.

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.
