I bet you can't make it through all these terrifying stories.
"It was a tuberculosis hospital in the early 1900s where thousands died during their treatments. There’s even an underground tunnel that was used to transport the bodies out. People report a lot of paranormal activity throughout the hospital and grounds. Currently, you can tour the building or book reservations to SPEND THE NIGHT."
"Lydia’s Bridge has your standard 'woman in white' story, but I have a coworker who actually experienced it. He was in the backseat of his grandmother's car when she stopped to pick up a young lady in white. It was raining outside and she was waiting on the side of the road. While they were driving to where the woman told them to go, she suddenly disappeared. My coworker said the seat was still wet."
"There's an old church graveyard in Exeter, and in it lies the grave of Mercy Brown — the last person in the US to be accused, posthumously, of being a vampire."
"There’s an old grain mill next to the train tracks, but no trains run on it anymore. People say it’s haunted — many have seen a ghost girl in a blue dress roaming around the elevator or heard a train horn early in the morning. My gym class was on our way to a golf range near the mill when we all heard a loud train horn. It was quick and stopped everyone in their tracks — there hadn't been a train in our town for decades."
"The hotel had numerous suicides and crazy deaths, including a boy who was chopped in half by an elevator. My grandmother — who worked as a cigar girl there when she was 12 — claimed the basement was terrifying. The baths were down there, and women who worked at the hotel bathed guests with the town’s mineral water to cure and purify them. It’s supposedly very haunted, and Ghost Adventures even did an episode in it!"
"It’s an old coal mining town that has been burning beneath the surface since around 1962. Super interesting, but super creepy to actually visit."
"Dudleytown is also known as 'the Village of the Damned.' By the 1800s, all of its occupants had literally disappeared without a trace. It's supposedly cursed by Henry VII because Edmund Dudley — the town's founder — was a traitor to the crown. Stories say that many residents went insane and/or committed suicide, with some claiming to have seen demons before doing so. Today, people say that it’s eerily quiet at night — not even wildlife makes a sound. Others have put out warnings not to take anything you find, because the curse will follow you out."
"In the early 1900s it was a hospital for the mentally ill and criminally insane, where patients were said to have been abused and tortured. Now people claim to see the spirits of children running around. Some even report hearing screams, footsteps running down the halls, and doors mysteriously slamming."
"I stayed on board the ship once, and throughout the entire night, the bathroom light kept turning on. I'd get up periodically to turn it back off, only for it to turn on again. I took pictures on the haunted tour and noticed orbs throughout every single picture in the pool area and nearby bathrooms. At no other point did those orbs appear."
"In Sheridan we have the Sheridan Inn, where Buffalo Bill used to vacation. It's haunted by a woman named Miss Kate, who used to work there, though some even claim that Bill himself makes the occasional appearance. We went on a field trip there for history class once, and I swear I saw one of the old rocking chairs moving back and forth in the corner of Miss Kate's old room."
