Every haunted place has a story.
Behind the ghost sightings and paranormal activity lies history—tales of love, tragedy, mystery, and the unexplained. SpookFinder exists to preserve and share these stories.
We're building a comprehensive directory of haunted places across America. From the infamous hotels where guests check in but never leave, to forgotten cemeteries where the restless still wander, to Civil War battlefields where soldiers march through the mist—we document them all.
Currently cataloging 1332 haunted locations across 28 states and 610 cities.
Each entry includes the location's history, reported paranormal activity, and practical information for visitors. Whether you're a paranormal investigator, a history buff, or just someone who enjoys a good ghost story, SpookFinder helps you discover the supernatural side of America.
How We Research
Every place in our directory goes through a multi-source verification process. We don't publish a ghost story based on a single blog post or secondhand account.
7-10 verified sources per place. Each ghost story is cross-referenced across historical records, local historical societies, news archives, and paranormal research organizations before publication.
Precise dates, names, and events. We trace hauntings to their historical origins — specific people, documented incidents, and verifiable timelines rather than vague legends.
Transparent sourcing. Every place page lists its sources with direct links, so you can verify our research and explore further.
Ongoing updates. Each place tracks a "Last Researched" date. As new information surfaces — investigations, restorations, demolitions — we update the record.
