27 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.
Lewis O. Powell IV connects this cemetery’s reported cries to witness accounts collected by Bill Carpenter. One visitor described hearing a girl sob and scream while touching Fannie Gibbons’s grave; Gibbons was among three teenagers murdered in 1881. Other accounts describe unexplained sounds, without establishing a supernatural cause.
The Wisconsin Steel Company built this school in 1926 for its coal-camp community. Classes ended in 1992, and the building became an inn. Lewis O. Powell IV cites Theresa Racer’s account of guests reporting encounters interpreted as former pupils remaining in the converted school.
The former coal community is interpreted through surviving structures and miners’ recollections. Kentucky tourism also associates it with regional ghost stories and a seasonal storytelling program. Those traditions sit alongside the mining history; the word ghost in its reconstructed buildings does not itself indicate a paranormal claim.
Donated to the Kentucky Historical Society in 1976, this chest carries a family tradition linking stored clothing with subsequent misfortunes. The museum traces that story through family correspondence and Beverly Mayne Kienzle’s 2017 book. The artifact is real; the alleged curse remains a family belief.
Kentucky Educational Television interviewed author David Dominé about a reported mist-like figure with a bowler hat and goatee at the mansion. The broadcast preserves an attributed account and connects the property to regional ghost literature. The reported appearance does not establish the figure’s identity or supernatural nature.
R. J. Stacy’s memoir describes a drive with his wife in the mid-1990s when a bluish-white light reportedly crossed above their car and disappeared into woodland. Lewis O. Powell IV identifies the account and its book source; the light’s cause was not established.
Visitors have reported a woman in bridal clothing near the falls. The accompanying story describes a newlywed falling into the river in the 1950s. Kentucky tourism repeats this narrative, but supplies no named victim or contemporary accident record; it should therefore be read as a local legend.
A 1999 newspaper story, summarized by Lewis O. Powell IV, reported an unusual incident involving a deceased employee’s time card. A library worker said the card was punched in, then punched out two weeks later. The library’s institutional history dates to 1893; the time-clock claim remains an attributed workplace account.
A stairwell apparition is attributed in local stories to Alfred Victor DuPont. The publisher identifies this location in The Haunted South. This is a published haunting account; the proposed supernatural explanation remains unverified.
Built for Walter Hite Ferguson in 1901, this mansion later housed a funeral business before becoming a historical society. David Dominé’s account, discussed by Lewis O. Powell IV, attributes displaced books, footsteps and slamming doors to “Sally.” The identity behind that nickname is undocumented.
Firefighter Henry McDonald died while sleeping at this 1904 firehouse on Christmas Day 1945. Lewis O. Powell IV summarizes subsequent accounts of heavy footsteps, cold drafts and a rocking chair heard moving upstairs. Firefighters adopted the reported presence affectionately as a station mascot, eventually calling the spirit “The Captain.”
William Lynwood Montell collected a nurse’s account of infant crying from an empty room at this hospital, which operated from 1952 to 1994. A later haunted-attraction operator reportedly heard similar sounds. The building subsequently became veterans’ apartments; its haunting accounts do not authorize residential access.
This former jail has guest and staff accounts of disembodied voices and other sounds. Attributing them to former inmates is a paranormal interpretation, not an established identification.
Liz Carey’s distillery reporting describes visitor accounts of a woman at the T. Jeremiah Beam House windows and a figure interpreted as a former guard. She also reports that Paranormal Lockdown investigated the property in 2018. The televised interpretations sit alongside an operating bourbon business, rather than establishing the reported figures’ identities.
The Brown family’s eighteenth-century home is associated with a Grey Lady story that Kentucky tourism traces to the nineteenth century. Visitors also describe other figures. The age of a haunting tradition is evidence of a persistent story, not confirmation that its suggested identities or supernatural explanation are correct.
Investigator Patti Starr’s accounts describe a woman in a purple evening gown around the lodge, roads and campgrounds. Lewis O. Powell IV also cites a published 2008 guest experience involving dread and flickering lights. The apparition’s identity remains uncertain; the park’s sandstone arch is its documented natural attraction.
This distinctive house museum connects Civil War history with accounts of apparitions and unexplained cooking smells. Kentucky tourism describes stories about residents, enslaved people, and soldiers. Such proposed identities are part of the haunting narrative and should not be substituted for records about the people who lived here.
Visitors report apparent figures dressed for different periods at this historic tavern. These are modern accounts associated with a real building, rather than verified sightings of deceased people.
Kentucky Monthly records unexplained sounds and shadow-figure reports at this historic performance venue. These experiences form a local haunting tradition; the article does not establish a supernatural cause.
Sightings and eerie sensations are reported at the Civil War battlefield. The battle is historical; later perceptions of ghosts are separate claims requiring their own evidence.
A figure called Avery is described as a guardian in this published local tradition. The publisher identifies this location in Phantoms of Old Louisville. Its inclusion documents a published paranormal account; the interpretation of a reported experience as a ghost remains unverified.
Kentucky tourism describes reports of footsteps, voices, shadows and apparent figures at this historic performance venue. These modern accounts accompany its documented theatrical history. The reports support inclusion as a real place with a haunting tradition; they do not demonstrate that the perceived figures are spirits.

At this restaurant, the best-known haunting report concerns a little girl and a ball heard bouncing on the wooden staircase. Kentucky tourism includes the account among the state’s local ghost traditions. The reported sound does not establish the presence or identity of a spirit.
The university building has reports of figures around its stage and corridors. Stories linking them to a student’s alleged fatal fall should be treated as a haunting narrative.
A former tuberculosis sanatorium, Waverly Hills is widely associated with paranormal television and organized investigations. Kentucky tourism lists both historical tours and overnight visits. Its medical history deserves careful documentation and respect for patients; present-day haunting accounts do not establish that their spirits remain in the building.
Former guide Keven McQueen recorded guards’ reports of a light moving between upstairs windows during restoration. Other staff described unexplained smells and figures in period clothing. History Goes Bump connects these accounts to the expanded Clay family home and discusses Patti Starr’s investigations rather than treating them as established supernatural events.
