Real places. Documented history. Reported hauntings.

Onondaga · New York

13 Curves / Cedarvale Road

Cedarvale Road’s winding stretch southwest of Syracuse has a long-running accident-and-apparition legend. The Haunted History Trail records claims that people killed in a crash haunt the roadway, though its account does not establish the victims’ identities or an exact date.

Honolulu · Hawaii

16th Avenue bridge

A disappearing-child story associated with Kaimukī's 16th Avenue bridge appears in Honolulu Magazine. The report establishes a local account; it does not independently verify its biographical details. Do not stop traffic or enter the roadway to investigate.

Woodbury · Connecticut

1754 House

Previously called the Curtis House Inn, this property has reports of voices and footsteps attributed to former guests or employees. It appeared on Gordon Ramsay's Hotel Hell under its earlier name. The television connection documents publicity surrounding the inn, not verification of its alleged spirits.

Savannah · Georgia

17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant

The 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant appears in Georgia’s official guide to ghost-associated locations. Its stories concern supposed former occupants remaining in the building. Such reports provide a starting point for research into Savannah’s paranormal tourism, while historical claims and the identities assigned to apparitions require independent corroboration.

Independence · Missouri

1859 Jail and Marshal’s Home

Investigators record reports of a blue-suited figure attributed to sheriff Henry Bulger, alongside footsteps and voices. The identification is a local interpretation of alleged sightings; the jail’s documented history should be researched independently.

Owego · New York

1867 Parkview Inn

Owego’s Parkview Inn combines historic lodging with accounts of bells sounding and objects moving in empty restaurant rooms. Its tourism listing also describes a fire-related child-spirit legend. Treat that identity narrative as a claim requiring separate historical support. Overnight accommodation and investigations are distinct bookings.

Cortland · New York

1890 House Museum

Industrialist Chester Wickwire’s former home is now a museum. Staff and visitors have reported footsteps, knocking, shadows and apparent figures in windows. The regional tourism trail confirms a 2013 Ghost Hunters appearance. Such reports establish an active haunting tradition without proving who or what produced the experiences.

Lake Lure · North Carolina

1927 Lake Lure Inn

Lake Lure's historic inn has reports of a bride-like apparition, screams and a sudden floral scent. Other accounts describe a presence called Sam pulling hair near the basement and a painting that seems to move. The dramatic identities assigned to these experiences remain part of the reported lore.

Abbeville · South Carolina

Abbeville Opera House

Tour guide David Eller describes backstage pipe bangs and disappearing props, attributed in local stories to a worker said to have died during construction. Another account places a woman's presence in the third balcony. South Carolina ETV recorded these stories as folklore, preserving who told them.

Simsbury · Connecticut

Abigail's Grille and Wine Bar

Staff and guests report a presence near the upstairs women's restroom in the former Pettibone Tavern. The building dates to 1780. A story identifying the ghost as a murdered Abigail Pettibone circulates widely, but Connecticut tourism explicitly notes that records do not support that murder tale.

Atlantic City · New Jersey

Absecon Lighthouse

A lighthouse preservation association’s newsletter records reports of stairway footsteps, tobacco smells, voices, and a disappearing hand at Absecon. It also describes an investigation during noisy weather. The published account preserves these claims without establishing that the sounds or impressions were paranormal.

Riverton · Wyoming

Acme Theatre

At the Acme, theatergoers have reported a man sitting in the balcony during performances. Local tradition associates the figure with an earlier performer. Wyoming's tourism office places the account in the building's transition from early twentieth-century live entertainment to films, preserving a theater story with an identifiable setting.
