Safety & site disclaimer

Last updated: October 16, 2026. This notice applies to The Haunted Record at thehauntedrecord.com. It explains the limits of our information and important risks. It is not a guarantee of safety, a signed activity waiver, or a substitute for an operator’s rules.

1. Information, history and reported experiences

This site is an informational and editorial resource about U.S. locations, published accounts, folklore and reported hauntings. “True” refers to real places or documented reports, not proof that a supernatural event occurred. Witness accounts, media coverage, marketing, unusual readings, sounds and images do not establish paranormal causes. Screen adaptations may fictionalize events.

2. Research, corrections and changing information

Content is AI-assisted and may contain errors or omissions. We do not represent that every entry has been independently investigated or that every product has been tested. Sources, property ownership, access, prices, schedules and availability can change. Check original sources and confirm current details directly with the relevant property or provider before relying on a listing.

3. Visits, permission and physical risks

A record, map, itinerary or product link is not permission to enter a property. Do not trespass, enter abandoned or unsafe structures, bypass barriers, disturb graves, remove objects or contact private residents about a reported haunting. Obtain necessary permission, follow posted rules and obey applicable laws. Private and restricted properties are reading-only records unless their authorized operator independently confirms lawful public access.

Night outings and travel can involve falls, traffic, weather, wildlife, poor visibility, unreliable communications and other hazards. Choose authorized, maintained locations; travel with a companion; share your plan; carry lighting and appropriate supplies; and leave if conditions are unsafe. No checklist or product eliminates these risks. In an emergency, contact 911 or the appropriate local emergency service.

4. Equipment and image or audio capture

EMF meters, thermometers, motion sensors, thermal or infrared cameras, audio recorders and devices marketed for ghost hunting have ordinary technical functions and limitations. No item linked here is established by this site to detect ghosts, identify spirits or communicate with the dead. Noise, radio signals, environmental conditions, reflections, dust, equipment settings, processing and user interpretation can affect outputs.

Read manufacturer instructions, verify compatibility and use equipment only as intended. Avoid unsafe lasers, improvised electrical modifications or hazardous lighting setups. Do not use a consumer investigation device to assess whether a building, air supply or electrical system is safe. Preserve original recordings and disclose edits; do not present generated or altered imagery as documentary evidence.

5. Recording and other people’s privacy

Recording, consent, surveillance and drone rules vary by location. Obtain required permissions before photographing, filming or recording people or property, and follow venue restrictions. Do not publish private information or use an ambiguous recording to accuse an identifiable person of wrongdoing. We do not provide legal advice about a particular recording or visit.

6. Protection, spirituality and personal wellbeing

Safety supplies offer limited practical functions and are not guarantees against injury, crime or loss. Jewelry, crystals, journals and other spiritual or symbolic items are presented only for personal belief, reflection or decoration. We do not claim they repel spirits, remove curses, prevent harm, heal illness or treat physical or mental health conditions. They are not substitutes for ordinary safety measures or qualified care. Do not burn substances or use open flames where prohibited, and stop an activity that causes distress.

7. Affiliate links and purchases

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. We may receive commissions through links marked “paid link” at no additional cost to you. Compensation does not verify a claim, certify a product or guarantee an experience. Our affiliate disclosure explains these relationships.

Shopping searches may return unrelated products, fiction, different editions or items with unsupported seller claims. Unless specifically stated otherwise, listings are not firsthand reviews, endorsements of a particular seller, or certifications of safety, authenticity or fitness for your needs. Review the exact product, seller, instructions, current price, returns and warranty terms before ordering.

8. Independent sellers, tours and bookings

The Haunted Record provides information and referrals. It does not sell the linked products, operate the listed tours or properties, make reservations, or supervise your activities. Purchases and bookings are with the external provider under its own terms, cancellation policies and privacy practices. Saving an agenda or exporting a calendar does not reserve a room, ticket or tour. External links do not imply that the provider endorses this site.

9. No professional advice or warranty

Content is not individualized legal, medical, mental-health, engineering, security or other professional advice. Seek an appropriately qualified professional for decisions requiring such expertise. To the extent permitted by applicable law, site information and tools are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, uninterrupted availability or fitness for a particular purpose. No outcome from a visit, purchase or investigation is promised.

10. Limits of responsibility and your legal rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, The Haunted Record and its operator disclaim liability for losses arising from reliance on site information, third-party products or services, or independently undertaken travel and investigations. The scope and enforceability of any limitation depend on applicable law and the facts. Nothing in this notice excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, waives non-waivable consumer rights, or excuses fraud, willful misconduct or other conduct where the law prohibits such a limitation. This notice does not itself guarantee immunity from claims or establish that a visitor has signed a release.

11. Contact and corrections

Send questions or correction requests to hauntedrecordsusa@gmail.com. Include the page URL, the statement at issue and supporting sources. Do not send confidential records or private residents’ personal details. This inbox is not an emergency service.
