South Dakota
Deadwood, South Dakota was a famous frontier town in the 19th century. The Bullock Hotel in the historic city is allegedly haunted to this day by the phantom of Seth Bullock, the first sheriff of the outlaw town. Visitors have reported moving objects, running faucets, and other strange phenomena.
Tennessee
If you’re going to haunt a building, choose one with a name as cool as “the Orpheum Theater.” That’s apparently what at least six ghosts decided to do when they took up residence in the storied Memphis theater, where they can be seen sitting in the audience during shows or dancing in the lobby after hours.
Texas
Remember the Alamo? That’s the fort that several famous Texans, like James Bowie and Davy Crockett, defended from Santa Anna’s army until their final breaths. Naturally, local legends say that the spirits of these defeated defenders still linger in the historic Spanish mission.
Utah
Fort Douglas Military Museum in Salt Lake City is located very close to the University of Utah. That makes it easy for students to tour this allegedly haunted museum and meet “Clem,” a ghost that visitors say was a soldier who died defending the fort during the Civil War.
Vermont
Emily’s Bridge in Stowe, Vermont is a covered bridge dating to the 19th century. Local myths hold that the bridge is the final resting place of its namesake, Emily, a young woman who threw herself off the bridge after discovering that her husband was unfaithful. Naturally, her ghost haunts the region to this day.
