    Ghost Town
    3/5

    Nuttallburg

    WinonaUnited States1870s

    Nuttallburg is one of the most complete coal mining ghost towns remaining in the New River Gorge region of West Virginia. Established in 1870 by English immigrant John Nuttall, the town prospered for decades as a thriving industrial hub. Today, its abandoned coal tipple, coke ovens, and overgrown foundations are shadowed by paranormal legends of disembodied footsteps, phantom industrial clanking, and ghostly miners walking along the old railway tracks.

    Old Newgate Prison

    East GranbyUnited States1773–1827

    Located in East Granby, Connecticut, Old Newgate Prison is a harrowing 18th-century penal site built directly atop America's first chartered copper mine. Established in 1773, it served as Connecticut's primary colonial jail and later as a brutal Revolutionary War prisoner-of-war camp where Tory Loyalists were housed in damp, pitch-black subterranean caverns. Renowned as one of the most oppressive penal facilities in American history, its crumbling stone ruins and underground mine shafts are active hotspots for ghostly sightings, phantom screams, and sudden drops in temperature.
