Lacking so many entries it shouldn't exist or should be expanded
editThis article/page is kind of pointless because there are way more supposedly haunted places in all of the states. 99.97.141.22 (talk) 12:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- @99.97.141.22: endorsing such haunted places is against WP:FRINGE policy. If you would look at the article history, the list had included more places before, but much of those entries were either lacking sources or poorly sourced (using unreliable sources like blogs and/or websites run by those places themselves.

Virginia - Cold Harbor
editCold Harbor Battlefield in Virginia is considered one of the most haunted places in the United States. I am part native American and when I went to school near there, at least 6 times a year some kid from that area asked me " My mom wants to know if you know anyone on the reservation who can do a spiritual house cleansing because we have a ghost " 173.53.115.23 (talk) 02:55, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
