Haunted & Spooky Attractions in Nebraska
Whether you're a year-round paranormal enthusiast or you're just here because it's the season, we've got hauntings to tell you about. Proceed with caution as the following locations are not for the faint of heart. But for those who love a good scare, here are a few locations across Nebraska that are sure to get your blood racing!
Haunted Nebraska Locations
These five destinations should be spooky enough to get you through October, and while you can visit some of these spots, others are private property* (please don't trespass!) that you'll have to view from afar.
Museum of Shadows
Omaha
Featured on the Travel Channel and Amazon Prime, the Museum of Shadows is packed full with over 3,000 haunted objects. In other words, you could say it’s pretty spooky here.
The Alliance Theater*
Alliance
Tales of an actress who met an untimely end while on stage surround this theater ... some even mention a chandelier falling on her right in front of the audience. The one thing all the stories have in common are the subsequent accounts of hearing a woman practicing her lines in the walls, or furniture appearing to move itself.
*Private property/business, please do not enter without permission.
Ball Cemetery*
Springfield
This cemetery has been around since at least 1869, so tread carefully here — the dead have had plenty of time to establish themselves. Over the decades, this cemetery has become a hotspot for reported ghost sightings, with some claims even describing a woman who tugs on visitors’ clothes.
*Private Property, please do not enter without permission.
Seven Sisters Road
Nebraska City
Some may drive past this stretch of road, unaware of the tragedy behind the locals’ name for it. The story goes that in the early 1900s, a young man lived in the area who, in a fit of rage, led his seven sisters one by one to seven trees on individual hills and hung them. Those brave enough to traverse the road at night have reported inexplicable car troubles along the road and even screams on the darkest of nights.
Devil’s Canyon
McCook
Named for what locals thought influenced the event, this canyon is said to be the site of yet another tragedy. Supposedly over 100 years ago, a man brought his wife and children out here solely to end their lives and his. The man's ghost, known as "The Duke," is said to roam the area, playing tricks on visitors unlucky enough to be caught there at night.
