Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does Hauntica list? Hauntica indexes documented haunted locations, ghost tours, haunted attractions, abandoned sites, cemeteries, paranormal podcasts, and related content drawn from verified, non–user-generated sources. Listings are based on public documentation, historical references, and established reports, not on user submissions or anecdotal claims.
2. Are the haunted sites verified by Hauntica? No. Hauntica does not verify or authenticate hauntings. The directory indexes sites with documented reports, historical references, investigator records, or long-standing public documentation. Hauntica’s role is to organize, categorize, and structure those references — not to confirm or validate paranormal activity.
3. Can I submit a haunted place, tour, or attraction? Yes. Independently owned and operated businesses can submit a haunted location, ghost tour, or attraction for inclusion in the directory. Submissions must meet Hauntica’s basic vetting standards (e.g., legitimacy of the business, accurate information, non-chain operations, and category relevance) before being added.
4. Does Hauntica handle bookings or reservations? No. Hauntica does not process bookings, ticketing, or reservations. All listed tours, attractions, and businesses are independently owned and operated, and visitors are directed to the operator’s own website or booking platform for tickets, schedules, and availability.
5. Does Hauntica include abandoned or closed sites? Yes. Hauntica includes documented abandoned sites and historically referenced locations when they appear in public records, investigator reports, local history, or other verifiable sources. These listings are informational only; access, safety, and legality depend on local laws and property status, not Hauntica.
7. Is Hauntica U.S.-only or global? Hauntica is global. The directory expands continuously to include haunted locations, tours, attractions, and documented paranormal sites from the U.S. and international regions. Global coverage is updated in phases as verified information becomes available.
