Reports of haunted locations are part of ghostlore, which is a form of folklore. There are entries on this list from all 50 states, but the list is, by its very nature, incomplete. Many, but not all, of these locations have been featured on ghost hunting television shows. Many are, by virtue of their haunted reputation, tourist attractions.
