    About Haunted History

    Every haunted building has a paper trail. These pieces work through deeds, census sheets, obituaries, and newspaper morgues to establish what actually happened in a place before the ghost stories started.

    The history comes first. The reported hauntings are presented as reports, alongside the record that either supports them or does not.

    Sourcing: historical claims are drawn from public records, archives, and contemporary news reporting. Reported hauntings are labeled as reports, not established fact.
