Haunted Oklahoma #12

In this journey, I will rank 13 states from what I feel is the least haunted to the most haunted.

Let's go down that

proverbial haunted rabbit hole

Coming in at #12, Oklahoma

I am sure that when one thinks of Oklahoma, being very haunted is not on of them. People tend to think of... the musical called Oklahoma, the Dust Bowl, cattle drives, oil, and being part of Route 66.

So is Oklahoma haunted?

The answer is yes.

According to the website Only in Your State, there are many haunted places.

Here are some of my favorites

directly from their list:

Bird Creek School: Pawhuska

"This one room schoolhouse was built in the early 1900’s for Native American children. The story goes, if you enter the school and write your name on the blackboard and leave for a few minutes, when you come back your name will be erased."

Cain's Ballroom: Tulsa

"Cain's has been a long-standing concert venue in Tulsa and has hosted hundreds of performers over the years. It is said that it is haunted from one of those performers, Bob Wills, a country western performer. A lady's presence has also been seen and felt over the years. Visitors and paranormal teams explain an eerie feeling of being watched, cold spots felt in the ballroom, orbs seen in photos, lights going on and off on their own and silly voices heard."

Belvidere Mansion: Claremore

"Built in 1902, this mansion was made for the Bayless family, party of 8. Six months before its completion, Mr. Bayless died from an appendicitis attack. His wife and children moved into the home and occupied it until 1919. It is believed the spirits of the Bayless family haunt this mansion. Hot and cold spots are felt throughout, hazy figures in dim lights will be seen and unexplained noises have been heard on numerous occasions."

Blue Belle Saloon: Guthrie

"This saloon in Guthrie was a former bordello, run by Miss Lizzie and her girls, named Claudia and Estelle. It was a bustling saloon but Claudia was beaten to death and buried inside. Later on Miss Lizzie and Estelle were found dead for unknown reasons. Since those deaths, the saloon has been haunted by Miss Lizzie and her family."

Cherokee Strip Museum: Alva

"In its earlier days, the museum was an old hospital. It is reported that only the ground floor has paranormal activities. Many visitors have reported cold spots on the ground floor, along with ghostly voices and a piano that plays by itself. It is presumed that the spirits of patients who died in the hospital still wander the museum."
