About

I’m Stephen, and I started the Haunted Atlas because every “haunted places” list I found was either copied from three other lists or buried the real history under clickbait. I wanted the opposite — the documented story of the place first, then the ghost stories that grew out of it.

What we do here

Every place on the Atlas is real, with real history and real people reporting real things. We research the documented past first, then tell the hauntings as reported — attributed to witnesses and local accounts, never presented as established fact. Every photo is either license-verified and credited, or created for the article and labeled as such.

Who’s behind it

I’m Stephen Wilson, based in Washington State. I research and write every investigation on the site.
