About SpookFinder
Every haunted place has a story.
Behind every haunting is real history — a fire, a death, a grief that outlived the people it touched. We dig up the documented record behind the ghost and show our sources, so you can tell the history from the lore yourself.
How we work
-
01
Sourced, not rumored.
Every place is cross-checked against historical records, newspaper archives, and local historical societies — never a single blog post.
-
02
Names and dates, or it doesn't run.
We trace a haunting to documented people and events. Vague "a woman died here long ago" claims don't make the cut.
-
03
When the record doesn't back the legend, we say so.
Some famous ghost stories trace back to a marketing stunt or a bartender's invention — when the documents show that, we note it. Getting the history right beats a good scare.
-
04
Every claim is checkable.
Each page lists its sources with links and the date it was last researched. Trust nothing — verify it yourself.
I started SpookFinder because I love learning about haunted places — the real history, the people, the why behind the legend. I wanted one place that gathered it all, with the sources to dig into yourself. Thanks for wandering in.
