1. Redbud Valley Nature Preserve, Tulsa

Travelok.com
Editor's Note: Unfortunately, the Redbud Valley Nature Preserve is temporarily closed due to ecological damage.

Your haunted road trip will start just north of Tulsa at the Redbud Valley Nature Preserve. This beautiful spot is full of scenic places but also some very haunted places. In 1976, a girl's body was found brutally murdered near a bridge in the park. The bridge was named "Karla's Bridge," after the young schoolgirl. Now, visitors report hearing a young girl laughing and crying. Atop the hills in the park, bright orange lights have been seen and many accidents along the road near the bridge have occurred.
2. Cains Ballroom, Tulsa
423 N Main St, Tulsa, OK 74103, USA

While in Tulsa, your next destination will be Cains Ballroom — a long-standing concert venue that has hosted hundreds of performers over the years. It is said that it is haunted by one of those performers, Bob Wills, a country-western performer. A lady's presence has also been seen and felt over the years. Visitors and paranormal teams explain an eerie feeling of being watched, cold spots felt in the ballroom, orbs seen in photos, lights going on and off on their own, and silly voices heard. Visit the Cains Ballroom website to learn more about one of the most haunted places in Oklahoma.

3. Ingalls Ghost Town

Your next stop will take you to the ghost town of Ingalls in Payne County — a town full of history, violence, gunfights, and outlaws. The town was once a hideout spot for the Doolin-Dalton gang and became a famous shootout between the gang and law enforcement. All that remains are a couple of old buildings, including replicas of the actual hotel that was originally called Pierce O.K. Hotel, a stable, a general store, and a saloon. As one of the spookiest Oklahoma ghost towns, it has a very eerie feeling and is not the type of place you want to be in after dark.

4. St. Vincent Asylum, Oklahoma City
3500 NE 23rd St, Oklahoma City, OK 73121, USA

Next, head to Oklahoma City to the St. Vincent Asylum which began as a mental hospital for men in 1945. Starting in the 1960s, murders began to surface out of the asylum. The first known tragedy began when a nurse inexplicably suffocated two patients. Many more murders occurred before the hospital eventually closed its doors in the 1980s. The property is now believed to be haunted by tortured souls of the past. Paranormal investigators firmly believe the asylum is in the grip of a demonic entity, one that drove the patients and staff to madness. (Do not enter the building without permission.) It's one of the most haunted places in Oklahoma.

The next destination will land you in the Parallel Forest in the beautiful Wichita Mountains near Lawton, Oklahoma. The Parallel Forest was built by the federal government as an experiment to deal with the effects of the Dust Bowl. Over 20,000 red cedars were planted exactly 6 feet apart in every direction on over 16 acres. As you can imagine, a creepy forest that is so uniform-looking has brought with it many creepy stories of hauntings, urban legends, satanic rituals, and everything else that would scare the living daylights out of you. Take the journey to this haunted forest and see what encounters you stumble upon in this misfit piece of land.

Of all the haunted, spooky places in Oklahoma, Sacred Heart Mission in Pottawatomie County has a truly terrifying past. The mission was built in 1880 and was used as a farm, school, chapel, seminary, and boarding house. It was a flourishing mission until tragedy struck in 1901 when a fire broke out in the dining hall out and destroyed most of the facility. Many of the children died that day and it is said that their spirits still haunt the mission. From angry Native American ghosts to demonic activity to murders, Sacred Heart is a site to be visited with caution.

8. Tucker Cemetery, Comanche
South Tucker Road, S Tucker Rd, Duncan, OK 73533, USA
Google Maps
There's something creepy about cemeteries that makes you question whether you should be visiting them. So what would a haunted road trip be without a trip to an extra spooky cemetery? Step inside Tucker Cemetery — the cemetery even locals fear due to sightings of the graves changing their surroundings. The graves will be empty, then the next moment filled with grass. Others have reported getting their legs grabbed and tombstones falling over. So this stop is definitely not for the faint of heart.
Be warned, there have been reports of both wild hogs and rattlesnakes hiding in this cemetery, so it may be best enjoyed from behind the gates. To learn more about this cemetery and other haunted places in Oklahoma.
9. Fort Washita, Durant

The last stop on your haunted road trip in Oklahoma will be at Fort Washita — an old military post built in 1842 near Durant. At the end of the war, Fort Washita was burned to the ground and was considered obsolete ... except for a few haunted spirits left behind. The hauntings of these spirits have drawn in visitors and ghost hunters from around the country to investigate this eerie place. Learn more about Fort Washita on the Chickasaw website.

While these are just a few of the most haunted places in Oklahoma, the rest may be hiding in plain sight. Have you ever had any paranormal encounters in Oklahoma? We’d love to hear about your experience!
