Every town seems to have a few places everyone thinks is haunted. That is true for most places in Oklahoma. The stories behind these hauntings are often passed down by locals and seem to get more eccentric with each passing generation. Here are some [unlikely] state hauntings.<\/p>\n
\u00a01. Cain\u2019s Ballroom – Tulsa<\/strong><\/p>\nBob Wills began his career at Cain\u2019s, and according to some people, he\u2019s still there. Many believe that he haunts the venue that gave him his start, often appearing on stage. Other people swear to see a woman wearing a red dress, while most claim to see the ghost of a cowboy. Cold spots and light orbs have also been reported.<\/p>\n
2. Mason\u2019s Children\u2019s Home \u2013 Guthrie<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you or a friend has ever considered getting married at the Dominion House in Guthrie, they may want to rethink the venue. Back in the 1920\u2019s it was a children\u2019s home and acts of brutality allegedly occurred there. Some people have seen the ghost of a nurse who killed herself while other people hear the cries of children. According to legend, a headmistress beat a six-year-old girl to death and her ghost haunts the building and grounds. The same headmistress also supposedly buried four boys in the basement.<\/p>\n
3. Thunderbird Youth Academy \u2013 Pryor<\/strong><\/p>\nLocals claim that there used to be an orphanage on these grounds, but it was destroyed by a tornado in 1942. The storm killed many of the children inside the building, and their ghosts still haunt the area. One person witnessed waking up in the middle of the night to a little girl next to his bunk.\u00a0 A boy named Hector supposedly roams the third platoon building, and some people believe he was killed by the cook and fed to the other children.<\/p>\n
4. Highway 20 \u2013 Claremore<\/strong><\/p>\nMany people have picked up a young boy hitch-hiking along this highway east of Claremore. Around Pryor, the boy asks to be let out of the car in an area where no houses are present. The boy claims he lives in the area and promptly disappears. Vanishing hitch-hiker stories occur in many towns across the United States.<\/p>\n
5. Ghost Hollow \u2013 Cushing<\/strong><\/p>\nIn our very own Payne County near Cushing and a mile north of the Cimarron River, there is an elm tree where outlaws used to be hanged.\u00a0 In 1887, an innocent man was accidentally hanged, and the next day all of the bark fell off of the tree. According to legend, on the night of a full moon the tree is said to glow white as if it has no bark on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
