Haunted Places Near Nevada
5 reported haunted locations found near Nevada.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| 1st Baptist Church on Walnut Street | It is considered one of the oldest structures in Nevada and it is in very poor condition. But, a few years ago it was used as the "Red Brick Playhouse" for community plays. It seems to be haunted by a former Janitor who wasn’t happy to share the place with the actors. While using the bathroom lights would flicker and shut off and sinks would turn on and you'd be sitting there all by yourself! It was not unusual during a play to have a door on the set swing wide open and everyone would hear ... |
| Blanche Skiff Ross Memorial Library | They say that the Cottey Library sits on top of an old civil war field hospital and then in the 1880's a home was built for the Cottey Family. Either way there is loads of activity in this library with books falling and carts rolling and music coming from the back stairs. Various people have reported seeing an old man in a smoking jacket and cap in the balcony. They have also reported 2 little girls in Victorian dress playing on the stairs and a mysterious younger woman in a long white gown r... |
| Cottey College | is haunted by 2 ghosts: (1) Vera: a student from long ago that was making candy in Rosemary Hall when her nightgown caught fire, and resulted in burning down the hall. Now she haunts the entire college, comforting some girls and tricking others (2) a man in black (or a black man) that haunts the college from slavery days, as the story goes, possibly looking for Vera. |
| Old Jail | It is said that there are at least 2 ghosts haunting the old Jail. One is of the sheriff's young bride often seen wearing a white dress and holding a lit candle near the 2nd story window facing Main Street. The other is of a black man who was lynched on the side lawn facing onto Walnut Street. You can hear weeping even outside the building and often you can hear the wood from the gallows creaking. There are often weird and unusual lights moving around inside the building. |
| Unmarked Grave | Legend says that a woman was thrown off the train and drug on the railroad tracks. Somebody found the body and buried her there. The area is mowed down today and there is flowers on the grave. Orbs have been spotted. |
