Everything OddWay knows about. Narrow it down by what you're after, or where you're going.
Hotels, theatres, prisons and back roads with a reputation.
Beaver, OK
The sand dunes north of Beaver are sometimes promoted in regional lore as the site of unexplained disappearances and strange phenomena, including fanciful Bermuda Triangle comparisons. The real visitable landscape is a public dune park; the supernatural layer remains folklore.
Newport, RI
Designed by Richard Morris Hunt and completed in 1894, Belcourt is one of Newport's strangest Gilded Age mansions, combining French Gothic and Renaissance influences around enormous carriage spaces. Later owners promoted stories of haunted antiques and unexplained phenomena inside the house. Visits are through scheduled tours and events.
Wilmington, DE
Bellevue Hall, the mansion at Bellevue State Park, has accumulated stories of unexplained shrieks, moved furniture and electrical disturbances attributed to resident ghosts. Delaware state sources preserve those claims as part of local paranormal lore. The park grounds are public, while mansion access depends on current programming and events.
Tombstone, AZ
This modern saloon occupies a historic downtown building and leans heavily into Tombstone lore connected with Big Nose Kate, Doc Holliday and alleged hauntings. Treat ghost claims as entertainment and local legend rather than documented fact.
Tombstone, AZ
The former theater, saloon and gambling hall preserves bullet marks, gaming equipment and rooms associated with Tombstone's boom years. Its violent history has also made it one of the town's best-known paranormal-tour destinations.
New Orleans, LA
The 1826 Beauregard-Keyes House is a preserved French Quarter residence associated with military, immigrant and literary history, along with local ghost lore. It operates as a ticketed historic house museum with scheduled programming.
Lumberville, PA
The Black Bass Hotel has served travelers along the Delaware River for centuries and incorporates stories of unexplained visitors into its documented history and folklore. It remains a functioning hotel and restaurant, so travelers can visit normally without entering private guest spaces.
New Orleans, LA
Bloody Mary's Haunted Museum & Voodoo Shop combines New Orleans paranormal history, occult objects, haunted artifacts, dolls and Voodoo-related displays in a small museum and shop. Daytime museum visits are supplemented by scheduled ghost hunts and paranormal investigations after hours.
Saratoga, TX
A long straight former railroad grade through the Big Thicket is associated with the Saratoga Ghost Light, a mysterious glow reported by generations of nighttime visitors.
Salem, WV
Also called the Flinderation Tunnel, this roughly Civil War-era railroad tunnel is now reached from the North Bend Rail Trail and has accumulated stories of ghostly voices and unexplained figures. The tunnel is dark enough that a flashlight is necessary, and reaching it requires trail travel rather than simply pulling off the highway.
Passaic, NJ
Brighton Asylum is a large horror-entertainment complex themed around an abandoned institution, with elaborate haunted walkthroughs, escape rooms and special events. Its main haunted-house season is limited to selected dates, although the property hosts other horror experiences at different times of year.
Deadwood, SD
Guided tours enter century-old mine workings beneath the Black Hills and interpret the dangerous conditions faced by early miners. The operator also offers candlelight ghost tours, making it one of the state's few paranormal-oriented experiences attached to a genuine historic underground site.
Denver, CO
Denver's 1892 Brown Palace has accumulated stories of unexplained sounds, apparitions and lingering former guests over more than a century of operation. It remains an active hotel, so public access should stay within hotel, dining or tour spaces.
Galion, OH
Brownella Cottage was built in 1887 and later became the home of Bishop William Montgomery Brown and his wife Ella, with much of the house's original character and furnishings preserved. The Galion History Center now offers scheduled paranormal investigations and ghost tours in the cottage, including recurring public investigation dates.
Burnside Township, MI
Built in 1876, the Bruce Mansion is a Victorian landmark with decades of local ghost stories and reported paranormal experiences. The current operators lean directly into that reputation with scheduled mystery tours, events and paranormal visits, giving travelers legitimate access without trespassing on the property.
Neenah, WI
Burial Chamber Haunted Complex is a seasonal Neenah-area destination with several different haunted attractions, including high-intensity walkthroughs and darker maze-style experiences. The complex operates on select fall nights and bundles multiple scares into a single visit.
New Orleans, LA
This long-running Bourbon Street gay bar has accumulated stories of apparitions associated in local lore with writers and former patrons. It remains an active nightlife business rather than a paranormal attraction.
Calumet, MI
Opened in 1900 during the Copper Country boom, the ornate Calumet Theatre still hosts performances and scheduled historical tours. Local ghost lore centers on actress Helena Modjeska, whose apparition was reportedly seen by another performer in 1958; the story remains folklore rather than verified history.
Buxton, NC
The towering black-and-white spiral lighthouse is an Outer Banks icon and the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States. Its surrounding area also carries ghost stories, including tales of a spectral cat and maritime spirits linked with the dangerous waters of the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
Mystic, CT
A 1756 waterfront building now operates as a restaurant and pub while preserving centuries of Mystic history. Local haunting stories include a young girl on the staircase and other unexplained activity, making it an unusually easy paranormal stop where visitors can simply book a meal.
Preston, CT
This operating eighteenth-century inn openly embraces its reputation as one of Connecticut's haunted lodgings. Guests and investigators have reported apparitions, knocking, moving objects and activity associated with the Adelaide Room, while old cemeteries immediately around the property deepen the atmosphere.
Key West, FL
Former morgue and icehouse built around a hanging tree, packed with ghost stories and old graves.
Lewisburg, WV
Built in 1902, Lewisburg's Carnegie Hall has accumulated reports of footsteps, whispers, lights and other unexplained activity inside the historic arts venue. It remains an operating performance hall, so visitors should attend a scheduled event or view the exterior rather than treating it as an unrestricted investigation site.
Dubuque, IA
Dubuque's historic Carnegie-Stout library has long been associated with staff stories of unexplained movement, sounds and apparitions. It remains a functioning public library, so OddWay should present the supernatural claims as local lore rather than fact.
