Stillwater, Oklahoma · Hotel
The hotel's reported disturbances are largely visual and mechanical: mysterious glows, shadowy figures, lights activating by themselves and doors locking or unlocking without an apparent cause. OK Haunted Houses also records sudden cold spots.
Claremore, Oklahoma · Historic house
The Bayless family is said to remain in the mansion they once occupied. Legends of America records shadowy figures, inexplicable sounds, hot and cold spots, toilets flushing themselves and the sensation of an unseen touch. These domestic disturbances form the core of the home's haunted reputation.
Pawhuska vicinity, Oklahoma · Other
Rural Roads Photography and OK Haunted Houses repeat a chalkboard legend at this abandoned school: writing left on the board is said to vanish while the room is empty, as if an unseen teacher erased it. Abandoned Oklahoma identifies a 1939 WPA two-room school on private property with cameras and explicitly forbids trespass; this corrects older early-1900s/one-room claims.

Blanchard, Oklahoma · Cemetery
A tall man in black trousers is said to appear among the graves, sometimes raising a hand to wave at visitors. OK Haunted Houses pairs this figure with reports of unexplained lights around the cemetery, without naming the apparition.
Tulsa, Oklahoma · Other
Even when no performance is underway, people reportedly hear singing, giggling and disembodied voices in Cain's. OK Haunted Houses also recounts abrupt hot and cold patches, lights switching themselves and a sense of being watched. TravelOK connects the venue's broader lore to Bob Wills and a woman in red.
Alva, Oklahoma · Other
In the former Alva General Hospital, staff have described objects moving, crooked pictures, unexplained lights and children's voices in empty rooms. A 2024 NWOK Buzz report gathers these museum accounts. Earlier lore focuses on the surgical rooms and a persistent stain, which a curator also suggested might be iodine. Do not confuse with Cherokee Strip Museum in Perry. OK Haunted Houses mistakenly combines the Alva hospital story with Perry's address. Corroboration: https://northwesternnews.rangerpulse.com/local-museum-under-paranormal-investigation/ and https://www.travelok.com/listings/view.profile/id.1305
Pawhuska, Oklahoma · Theater
OK Haunted Houses attributes the theater's delicate footsteps and a woman's apparition to Sappho Constantine Brown, the former owner's daughter. Restoration workers reportedly encountered her during the 1980s. Another part of the lore describes an invisible brawl, connected in the telling to the building's hotel days.
Weatherford vicinity, Oklahoma · Road or bridge
The Deer Creek crossing is associated with the 1905 death of Katie DeWitt James. OK Haunted Houses recounts a blue, shapeless light near the crossing and a woman's voice crying for her baby. These are later ghost reports attached to the tragedy, rather than evidence explaining the murder.
Dewey, Oklahoma · Other
A male presence is reportedly felt in an upstairs bedroom of the former hotel. The account collected by OK Haunted Houses identifies him in local speculation as Jacob Bartles, Dewey's founder, still lingering in the building he established.
Edmond, Oklahoma · Other
The school has a local story of a floating figure dressed in Victorian clothing. OK Haunted Houses also describes a second, less visible presence that turns on music. The tale is tied to the school building, with no verified identity for either supposed ghost.
Wynnewood, Oklahoma · Other
The former hotel's museum displays feature in its ghost stories. OK Haunted Houses reports mannequin figures shifting without anyone moving them, while dark shapes are said to travel through the rooms. The alleged movement makes the preserved historical interiors central to the haunting.
Fort Gibson, Oklahoma · Cemetery
The Vivia Thomas legend describes a young woman who followed a faithless soldier west in disguise, then died grieving at his grave. Later accounts describe a soldier-shaped apparition weeping nearby. KJRH confirmed the named headstone but noted how little is known about the person behind the popular story.
Durant vicinity, Oklahoma · Other
Fort Washita's Aunt Jane legend describes a woman killed after refusing to reveal hidden money. In the best-known possession story, her spirit is said to have threatened a nearby child before retreating when the child's mother prayed. TravelOK and the haunted-location directory preserve the tale as fort folklore.
Bartlesville, Oklahoma · Other
The restaurant in the Buford & Son Building has a ghost story about Estelle, said in local lore to have worked in a former brothel and been murdered. OK Haunted Houses reports people hearing and seeing her presence in the building over the years.
Enid, Oklahoma · Hotel
The former Grand Avenue Hotel has a ghost tale centered on its 1903 guest David E. George. His former room is reputedly haunted. Some storytellers identify George as John Wilkes Booth, an unsubstantiated identity claim that became entangled with the building's paranormal reputation.
Tulsa, Oklahoma · Other
Night security guards and other museum employees have reportedly seen a figure wandering the galleries and corridors. OK Haunted Houses records the recurring appearance without establishing the ghost's identity. The account belongs to the museum's older building, so redevelopment matters when interpreting the location.
Skiatook vicinity, Oklahoma · Cemetery
The cemetery's Witch's Grave legend warns that anyone disturbing a particular burial will suffer misfortune. OK Haunted Houses also records a separate apparition attributed to a teenager killed in a nearby car crash. These are cemetery stories, not evidence that a buried person practiced witchcraft.
El Reno, Oklahoma · Other
Childlike apparitions, indistinct dark figures and sounds attributed to soldiers are reported around the fort. OK Haunted Houses preserves those accounts; TravelOK adds window faces, footsteps, slamming doors and faucets turning on inside the visitor center without anyone apparently operating them. Supplemental story and established guided-tour tradition: https://www.travelok.com/articles/top-haunted-places-in-oklahoma. Fort Reno, Oklahoma, not the Washington DC or Wyoming forts.
Vinita, Oklahoma · Hotel
In the former hotel's ballroom, visitors have reportedly heard piano music with no player and seen a man dressed in an old-fashioned suit. OK Haunted Houses places these encounters in the historic ballroom even after other guest spaces became apartments and the ground floor housed Napoli's restaurant.
Bartlesville vicinity, Oklahoma · Cemetery
Visitors attempting photographs reportedly find their digital cameras malfunctioning at this overgrown burial ground. The short account collected by OK Haunted Houses is an equipment-failure story, with no consistently named ghost or verified cause. Directory describes overgrowth/abandonment; cemetery identity also documented by https://www.okcemeteries.net/washington/jesse/jesse.htm. No nighttime access assumed.
Noble, Oklahoma · Other
Kendall's lore names four ghosts. A girl in old-fashioned clothing is said to appear in the dining room, formerly stables; Margaret, dressed in black, appears in the kitchen. The male presences Henry and Theodore are blamed for disruptive object movement reported by staff and diners.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma · Other
The store's lore names Patty and Rose, sisters said to search for each other in the former dance hall. OK Haunted Houses reports lights changing on their own and an unseen follower upstairs. A reported encounter on the staircase involved a sensation of cold hands pushing an employee. Current city-tourism corroboration: https://www.visitokc.com/blog/all-posts/post/ghost-tours-haunted-places-in-oklahoma-city/. Do not assume the sisters' alleged deaths are verified history.
Enid, Oklahoma · Other
The historic warehouse turned children's museum has an unusually modern ghost story: people reportedly receive phone calls originating inside after closing time. OK Haunted Houses says checks of the building then find it empty, leaving the caller unexplained.
McAlester, Oklahoma · Other
The closed pub's reported ghosts are practical jokers. OK Haunted Houses describes dimes appearing on the premises, bottle caps and kitchenware being thrown, and people locked in bathrooms. The tales link these pranks to alleged deaths in upstairs apartments, although those histories were not independently established here.
