Browse by category

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

Homes or Mansions

Houses might be considered "haunted" if the people living in them died in a tragic way or experienced a traumatic event in the house, which would leave behind a "residual energy" in the space. Conversely, a person who lived in a house for a long time and had a strong positive emotional connection to it may leave behind a lingering presence even after they have died as well. Historic homes are more likely to be haunted because they have seen more significant events. If the house is younger, it is also possible that it was built over a burial site that was previously used, and the concentration of the area was shattered when the graves were disturbed. This scenario could potentially lead to paranormal activity because the property is being disturbed rather than the structure itself.

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.

Colleges

Colleges can be considered "haunted," as these locations may include tragic events such as accidents, deaths, or even wartime usage. Many schools have experienced serious events like fires, epidemics, or the deaths of students and staff that are connected to tragedies in certain places on campus. Older college buildings often have intricate designs with secret areas, which can make people feel like there's paranormal activity. As a result, students often tell stories of ghostly encounters within the buildings and grounds, which can strengthen the belief in ghosts on campus. The eerie vibe of a college campus, especially at night, when ghost stories are often told, can then make people feel uneasy and more aware of possible unexplainable experiences.
