Featured Locations:

Fort Abraham Lincoln

In addition to the spirits of soldiers, Fort Abraham Lincoln is said to be haunted by Native American spirits who once inhabited the area. Some visitors have reported seeing the ghostly figures of horses galloping across the plains, perhaps tied to the battles that once raged here. The fort’s cemetery is also known for its eerie atmosphere, with strange lights often spotted at night.

North Dakota State Capitol
600 E Boulevard Ave, Bismarck, ND 58505
The Capitol building is also rumored to be haunted by a former governor who roams the halls, particularly near the legislative chambers. During nighttime security rounds, guards have reported hearing the faint sound of an old-fashioned typewriter in empty offices, as well as the smell of cigar smoke lingering in the air, despite a strict no-smoking policy.

Children's Museum at Yunker Farm
1201 28th Ave N, Fargo, ND 58102
In addition to the sounds of children’s laughter, some visitors have claimed to see the image of a young boy peering out from the windows. The basement, which is not open to the public, is rumored to have its own paranormal activity, with reports of cold drafts and unexplained sounds, especially near the old coal room.

White Lady Lane
Near Walhalla, ND 58282
Locals have reported that vehicles sometimes experience strange malfunctions on White Lady Lane, with headlights flickering and engines stalling near the site of the accident. There are also tales of a ghostly dog that appears alongside the White Lady, as if to protect her on her eternal vigil.

San Haven Sanatorium

San Haven is also known for its eerie abandoned tunnels, which were once used to transport patients. These tunnels are said to be especially haunted, with visitors reporting disembodied voices and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Paranormal investigators have captured EVPs of voices calling for help, as well as sightings of orbs and mist.

Liberty Memorial Building
604 E Boulevard Ave, Bismarck, ND 58505
In addition to the ghostly librarian, some visitors have reported seeing an apparition of a man in military uniform near the building’s war memorial section, perhaps a tribute to the fallen soldiers memorialized within.

Rough Riders Hotel
301 3rd Ave, Medora, ND 58645
The ghost of a young woman in a 19th-century dress has also been seen wandering the upper floors of the hotel, believed to be a former guest who never left. The hotel’s restaurant has experienced strange happenings, with silverware moving on its own and the lights flickering during quiet hours.

Harvey Public Library
119 10th St E, Harvey, ND 58341

The Old Armory is also known for the occasional sighting of a spectral bugler, who is heard but never seen, playing taps late at night.
