Moundsville Penitentiar
The Moundsville Penitentiary in West Virginia was one of the nation's most brutal prisons throughout its more than 100 years of operation and the last resort for approximately 1,000 convicts. Due to the confined living conditions of the convicts, riots occurred. Many men were executed by hanging or using the electric chair, while other prisoners also committed murders. Some claim that even though the jail was closed in 1995, the tortured ghosts can still be seen or heard during tours of the cells and the facility's tunnels.
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Starting in 1864, this institution, formerly known as the Weston State Hospital, housed thousands of patients suffering from mental disease. Before the hospital's 1994 closure, hundreds of individuals passed away here. The ghosts allegedly haunting the location now come from the Civil War, when the asylum's grounds were used as a military outpost. The facility's paranormal excursions include two-hour visits to the asylum's four primary hotspots. An 8-hour overnight paranormal expedition with skilled ghost-hunting guides makes up the more rigorous Ghost Hunt.
Villisca Axe Murder House
The old white frame house at 508 E Second St turned into a gruesome crime scene on June 10, 1912. The brutal killing of Josiah B. Moore, his wife, their four children, and two young girls who were staying over devastated the small Iowan town of Villisca, and the killer was never found. Residents of the house have over the years described seeing a guy with an axe, children wailing, and unexplained paranormal activity. The house was returned to its pre-1994 state in 1994, with no indoor plumbing or power. These additions enhance the eerie atmosphere during a lamplight tour from April through November or an overnight experience that is available for groups with reservations.
Sammie Dean
Jerome, Arizona, a formerly copper-mining community, has a long history of paranormal activity. There are currently only 400 people living in the town (it once had 15,000), but according to mythology, there used to be a lot more due to mining accidents and gunfights. Sammie Dean, a working girl who worked as a prostitute and was killed by a client in the former Crib District, is one famous ghost. Her lovely ghost wanders the alleys in search of her unidentified killer.
Cuban Club
Ybor City in Tampa is home to the Cuban Club, commonly known as Circulo Cubano de Tampa. This location was a well-liked gathering place for Cuban immigrants in 1917, who took advantage of the ballroom, outdoor band shell, and cantina with a stage and dance floor. Today, the compound, which is listed on the National Historic Register, is a venue for special occasions and performances as well as the site of several ghost stories of ghosts riding the lifts and playing the piano.
Fort Mifflin
The only Revolutionary War battleground in the nation that is still in tact is Fort Mifflin, which was constructed in 1771. On the property along the Delaware River, there are 14 renovated structures and reputedly a lot of ghosts from the past. One of the ghosts rumoured to inhabit the fort is a screaming lady, whose cries are so deafening that the Philadelphia police were called to investigate—only to discover no one there. A faceless guy walking around the fort, a tour guide dressed in revolutionary attire, as well as several kids and pets, are other figures from the area's ghost legends.
