Our Story
HauntedHQ began as a passion project to centralize scattered information about America's paranormal hotspots. We noticed that while countless haunted locations exist across the country, finding reliable, detailed information about them was challenging and time-consuming.
Our team spent years researching and compiling data from multiple authoritative sources, including the renowned Shadowlands Haunted Places database, historical records, local folklore, and verified eyewitness accounts. We've painstakingly verified locations, cross-referenced historical data, and ensured each entry includes accurate geographic coordinates.
What started as a small collection has grown into the most comprehensive haunted location database in America, featuring over 9,000 verified paranormal hotspots across all 50 states. From famous locations like the Eastern State Penitentiary and the Queen Mary to hidden gems like Gore Orphanage in Ohio, we've documented them all.
Today, HauntedHQ serves thousands of paranormal enthusiasts, researchers, and curious travelers who rely on our platform to discover, explore, and learn about America's supernatural heritage.
