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.
Bethlehem, PA
Hotel Bethlehem stands on a historic Main Street site associated with hospitality going back to Bethlehem's early years. Guests and staff have reported ghost stories throughout the building, including persistent lore surrounding Room 932, while the property remains a fully operating hotel.
Delaware, OH
Delaware County's brick jail and attached sheriff's residence were completed in 1878 and continued holding prisoners until 1988. The preserved complex now operates as a historic site with scheduled tours and seasonal lights-out ghost hunts, so visitors need to attend an official opening or event rather than entering on their own.
Cheyenne, WY
A landmark 1911 downtown hotel with long-running local ghost legends attached to its rooms, halls and early-20th-century history.
Trinway, OH
Prospect Place is an 1856 mansion built for abolitionist George W. Adams and is now preserved by a nonprofit historical organization. Its legends and reported paranormal activity are incorporated into scheduled flashlight tours and ghost hunts, while free daylight tours are offered seasonally from March through November.
Savage, MD
Historic Savage Mill dates to the 19th-century textile industry, and its organized ghost tour mixes mill history with reports of footsteps, apparitions and a mischievous child spirit. Tours require tickets and run on scheduled dates, so the haunting experience is limited even though the commercial mill complex is otherwise open.
Ellinwood, KS
The restored 1894 Wolf Hotel is a working lodging and event property connected with Ellinwood's underground tunnel network. It also markets paranormal and history experiences, so ghost claims should be treated as part of the property's lore rather than established fact.
Zoar, OH
Zoar was founded in 1817 by German religious Separatists who created a communal village that survives today as a collection of historic museum buildings. Seasonal lantern ghost tours use stories of unexplained encounters reported by residents, staff and visitors, so the paranormal version of the stop requires a scheduled ticket.
Los Angeles, CA
The 1927 hotel is intertwined with early Hollywood history and long-running ghost stories involving figures such as Marilyn Monroe; paranormal claims remain folklore.
Brown Township, OH
Hope Furnace was built in 1853-54 to smelt iron and operated until 1874, leaving a large stone furnace stack beside present-day Lake Hope State Park. Local legend says a night watchman who died at the furnace still appears carrying a lantern during storms, while the surviving furnace and historical marker remain publicly accessible.
Rapid City, SD
The historic downtown hotel openly promotes long-running reports of unexplained activity associated with several rooms and areas of the building. These stories are hotel lore rather than verified events, but the property is one of the rare South Dakota businesses that directly interprets its own paranormal reputation.
Alexandria, LA
The grand 1908 Hotel Bentley has long accumulated stories involving wartime guests, political figures and reported paranormal activity. It is an operating hotel, so ghost lore should not interfere with normal guest areas or private rooms.
Glenwood Springs, CO
The grand 1893 hotel is wrapped in stories of spectral figures, phantom smells and wartime-era hauntings. It is still an operating hotel, so the OddWay interest is its documented age and folklore rather than unrestricted exploration.
Tucson, AZ
The 1919 hotel is tied to Tucson nightlife, the capture of John Dillinger's gang and decades of ghost stories associated with its old rooms and hallways. It remains an operating hotel, restaurant and music venue rather than an abandoned haunt.
Georgetown, CO
A remarkably intact 19th-century hotel museum preserving the story of French immigrant Louis Dupuy and Georgetown's silver era. Its period rooms have also accumulated paranormal lore, but the documented hotel history is the main draw.
Aspen, CO
Aspen's 1889 hotel carries a persistent legend about the 'water boy,' a child apparition reportedly associated with the pool. The story is folklore attached to a still-operating luxury hotel and should be presented that way.
Dubuque, IA
The historic Hotel Julien occupies a long-standing downtown hotel site associated with river-town history, famous guests and local ghost stories. It remains an operating hotel, giving travelers a lawful way to experience the atmospheric building.
Flagstaff, AZ
The 1927 downtown hotel has decades of stories involving phantom bellboys, strange voices and other alleged activity. It remains an operating lodging property, giving visitors a lawful way to experience the historic building.
Morgantown, WV
The restored Hotel Morgan is an operating downtown hotel with decades of guest stories about unexplained sounds and apparitions. It is included on West Virginia's Paranormal Trail, but it remains a functioning hotel rather than a dedicated ghost attraction, so visit as a guest, diner or respectful sightseer.
Prescott, AZ
The small historic hotel is especially known for stories involving Room 16 and a woman commonly called Abby in local ghost lore. It remains a functioning hotel, so paranormal claims should be presented as stories associated with the property rather than verified events.
Bethel Park, PA
Hundred Acres Manor is a large Pittsburgh-area seasonal haunt that combines several themed horror environments into one continuous attraction. Live actors, detailed sets, food and midway-style extras make it a destination haunt operating on selected fall nights.
Cooperstown, NY
This large early-nineteenth-century mansion overlooking Otsego Lake has more than a century of stories involving footsteps, whispers, phantom knocking and apparitions. Hyde Hall operates seasonal historic tours and scheduled haunted programming, including candlelit ghost tours in the fall.
Kilgore, TX
Imminent Doom is a large Kilgore seasonal haunted attraction featuring live actors, animatronics and detailed horror sets across an indoor walkthrough. It operates on select dates around Halloween and is intended as a commercial scare experience rather than a historic haunted location.
Cincinnati, OH
Bootlegger George Remus fatally shot his wife Imogene near Eden Park's Spring House Gazebo in 1927 while she was on her way to divorce proceedings. Local legend says a woman dressed in black still appears around the gazebo and former reflecting pool, which remain freely accessible within the public park during park hours.
Huntertown, IN
The Irene Byron Tuberculosis Sanatorium complex once treated tuberculosis patients outside Fort Wayne, but the surviving historic structures were ultimately demolished. There is no public sanatorium attraction left to visit, so this entry should not be routed as an active destination.
