However, we do have several cemeteries in Oklahoma with reports of paranormal activity, particularly the following graveyards, which are practically guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
No list of haunted cemeteries in Oklahoma would be complete without mentioning Blanhcard Cemetery. If you go to an area in the 2nd section, you'll likely encounter the cemetery's infamous ghost - a tall man-like figure in black. There is no logical explanation for this shadowy figure, which is often seen waving. Lights, which shine brightly and then suddenly go dim, are also a common sight.
Many people who've been buried here seem to disappear soon after. It's said that when you try to find a specific tombstone, you can't. And if you ask about it, you'll be told the particular person you're searching for was never buried at Floral Haven.
According to local legend, there's a glowing headstone in this cemetery that stops glowing when anyone gets close to it. There are also reports of claw marks on a particular headstone and disembodied voices coming from an old Native American burial ground at the rear of the cemetery.
Many paranormal happenings have been reported at this cemetery in south Bartlesville. Locals say that cameras do not work while in the cemetery but will work immediately after leaving. Also, spooky noises like giggles and cries can be heard.
This cemetery is haunted by the spirit of a young lady named Katherine Cross. Her cause of death? It's said that Cross was killed by a pack of "human wolves." To this day, her spirit roams the graveyard at night, making growling sounds.
6. Sacred Heart Mission Site and Cemetery (Konawa)
In 1901, a convent and school for girls burned down. It was later rebuilt, but the grounds were believed to be haunted, as many monks, priests, and animals were killed in the fire. Since then, there's been numerous reports of spooky happenings, including strange noises and sightings.
Years ago, a young boy was killed after being hit by a car while riding his bike. He was buried at Timber Ridge Cemetery, and now, his spirit roams the property. Visitors have witnessed his ghost with his bike alongside the roadway. Additionally, many motorists have felt as if they hit something when passing the cemetery - only to find nothing when getting out of their cars to investigate. Still others have reported getting nosebleeds for no apparent reason. One of the scariest cemeteries in Oklahoma, many people fear entering Timber Ridge Cemetery at night because of the insane amount of paranormal activity.
Locals fear this cemetery due to graves that allegedly change their surroundings. According to reports, the graves will be empty one minute and adorned with grass the next. Others have reported having their legs grabbed by an unseen force as well as tombstones suddenly toppling over on their own.
It's well known that a witch was buried at Hillside Cemetery in the early 1900's. It's also well known that many disturbing things have happened at and around the graveyard ever since. One of the area's resident ghosts is that of a teenage boy, who wrecked his car and died on a bridge near the cemetery. He can often be seen roaming the streets around the cemetery. What's more, people say demonic things happen to anyone who disturbs the witch's grave.

Aside from cemeteries in Oklahoma, what are some other notoriously creepy places in the Sooner State?
Oklahoma ghost stories aren’t limited to cemeteries. One of the most haunted places in Oklahoma is the Cherokee Strip Museum in Alva. The historic building that houses the museum once served as a hospital, which many believe is the reason for the plethora of paranormal activity that has taken place within the building, especially on its two upper floors. The strange happenings run the gamut from disembodied voices and apparition sightings to a piano playing on its own and strange lights.
Are there any other famous graveyards in Oklahoma?
It’s not just haunted graveyards in Oklahoma that attract curious visitors. There are several gravesites in Oklahoma that intrigue people from all walks of life. Once such gravesite can be found at Beef Creek Apache Cemetery in Lawton, which serves as the final resting place of Geronimo, the famed leader and medicine man of the Apache tribe. The grave of Bob Wills, which is located at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, is another well-known burial site in Oklahoma. Known as the “King of Western Swing,” Wills is credited as the co-founder of Western swing music.
What are the scariest haunted places in Oklahoma?
Brady Theater in Tulsa is one of Oklahoma’s most notorious haunts – and easily one of the scariest places in the state. Originally built in 1914, the building has a colorful history, which includes a short stint as a detention center during the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot. Over the years, countless visitors have encountered the theater’s resident ghost, which is believed to be that of Enrico Caruso, an opera singer who performed at the venue in 1920. The Bird Creek School in Pawhuska also has a reputation as being one of the creepiest places in Oklahoma. The one-room schoolhouse was built in the early 1900s and served as a school for Native American children. The building’s been abandoned for years; however, it seems as if it’s still occupied by phantom students, who make their presence known by erasing anything written on the blackboard.
