The 1914 former hotel and mineral-bath complex now houses shops and paranormal events, with extensive lore attached to its basement pool and old rooms.
Manitou Springs, CO
This rambling 1890s mansion combines multiple architectural styles, narrow passages and period interiors under one roof. Local haunting stories add to an already strange building, while the museum provides legitimate public access.
Fort Worth, TX
A former boarding house and brothel in the Stockyards now operates as a small hotel and leans openly into long-running ghost stories associated with the building.
Tonopah, NV

Denver, CO
The restored home of Titanic survivor and activist Margaret Brown is also part of Denver's long-running ghost-tour lore. The documented history is the core attraction; paranormal claims are best treated as later stories attached to the house.
Fonda, NY
Built in 1836, this courthouse witnessed generations of criminal trials and executions and now houses county historical records on its first floor. Paranormal reports include unexplained footsteps, voices, falling books and an apparition described as a woman in blue, while the public can visit during normal county history and archives hours.
Galveston, TX
A vast 1895 mansion restored with family furnishings and frequently included in Galveston's paranormal lore.
Brown Township, OH
Moonville was a remote mining and railroad settlement whose last residents left in the twentieth century, leaving behind its cemetery, foundations and brick-lined railroad tunnel. Numerous deaths along the old rail line produced stories of a spectral brakeman carrying a lantern and other apparitions; the tunnel is reached on the public Moonville Rail Trail, which is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and remains rugged in places.
New York, NY
Manhattan's oldest surviving house has accumulated stories of apparitions and unexplained activity connected with its long history, including former owner Eliza Jumel. The museum has offered dedicated paranormal investigations, although the mansion is temporarily undergoing roof work in 2026 and access should be checked before visiting.
Moss Beach, CA
The operating coastal restaurant openly preserves the Prohibition-era 'Blue Lady' ghost legend associated with its former speakeasy history; the haunting is folklore.
Saint Paul, MN
A restored neighborhood theater hosts performances and has also publicized long-running reports of unexplained activity inside the building. Any ghost claims should be treated as local lore, while access remains through authorized events and scheduled programs.
New Orleans, LA
Muriel's embraces the building's ghost lore with a dedicated séance lounge and stories about former resident Pierre Antoine Lepardi Jourdan. It is an operating restaurant, so paranormal interest should remain secondary to normal guest access.
Omaha, NE
This paranormal museum displays objects presented by its operators as haunted or connected with unusual activity. Whatever visitors conclude about the claims, it is a purpose-built, lawful paranormal attraction rather than an abandoned building or trespass-dependent legend.
Burbank, CA
A horror and occult-themed shop and exhibit space rotates immersive installations involving supernatural films, witchcraft aesthetics and paranormal culture.
Brownsville, PA
Nemacolin Castle grew from an eighteenth-century trading-post site into an elaborate nineteenth-century mansion overlooking the Monongahela River. The Brownsville Historical Society opens the castle for scheduled tours and events, including programs built around longstanding reports of unexplained activity.
Groton, CT
The unusual brick lighthouse at the mouth of the Thames River is famous for a resident ghost nicknamed Ernie, traditionally described as a former keeper. The New London Maritime Society owns the light, and public access is available on selected boat tours rather than by road.
Elmwood, LA
New Orleans Nightmare is a large seasonal haunted attraction with multiple themed horror environments, live actors, elaborate sets and optional add-on experiences. It runs on select nights around Halloween rather than as a normal year-round museum or historical site.
Newport, NH
The historic Newport Opera House has been investigated by paranormal groups after reports of unexplained sounds, shadowy figures and unusual experiences inside the building. Its preserved stage and upper-level spaces give the stories a strong physical setting. Access is through performances, events and authorized tours rather than unrestricted exploration.
Havelock, NC
Nightmare Factory was a long-running Havelock haunted attraction, but the Havelock location has closed while the business prepares a future move to New Bern. The old Havelock record should not be routed as open; the operator currently plans to return at the new location in 2027.
Myrtle Beach, SC
Nightmare Haunted House is a long-running Myrtle Beach walk-through attraction using dark corridors, horror scenes and live or theatrical scares near the oceanfront. Unlike many temporary October haunts, it operates across a much broader portion of the tourist season and may be open year-round on selected schedules.
Hart's Location, NH
The Notchland Inn sits near the setting of one of the White Mountains' enduring ghost stories. Nancy Barton reportedly died in 1778 while searching the winter wilderness for her missing fiancé, and later folklore describes her spirit wandering the area around the old road and inn property. The inn remains an operating lodging property, so visitors should respect guests and private areas.
Oatman, AZ
The 1902 hotel is one of Oatman's most recognizable buildings and is tied to mining-town history, Clark Gable honeymoon lore and ghost stories. The ground-floor restaurant and bar remain public even though it no longer functions as a conventional hotel.
Buffalo, WY
The restored 1880s hotel and saloon preserves Old West interiors and is frequently associated with reported ghost stories, including a child spirit.
