Haunted CT
Connecticut folklore mixes colonial history with modern ghost hunting, from an underground prison to a small-town cemetery made famous by paranormal investigators.
Former prison East Granby, CT
Chartered as a copper mine in 1707, the site became Connecticut's first state prison in 1773, holding inmates in the dark mine tunnels until 1827. Visitors describe chills and an oppressive feeling deep underground, and the state museum hosts seasonal evening events in the mine.

Cemetery Easton, CT
This small historic cemetery beside a country road is known for the legend of the "White Lady," a figure in a white gown said to appear among the stones and along the road. Paranormal investigators publicized the story in the late 20th century, and local police patrol the grounds at night.
Visiting: Active cemetery; visit respectfully in daylight only, as it is closed after dark.
Ghost stories are shared as folklore. Hours, tours and access change — always check with the site before you go, and never enter private or closed property.
