North Dakota has a few notoriously haunted places, even some that host haunted houses every year for the brave and daring. But there are a few places where supposed paranormal activity lurks and not many people know about them. Here are 6 little-known haunted places in the Peace Garden State that not many people realize are there:
- Sims, North Dakota

Next to the church is the parsonage, which has a long history of reported hauntings. According to years of reports, a ghost of a woman lives in the parsonage and has run out multiple residents. It’s out in the middle of nowhere and takes some digging to find, but the locals all know about the stories and some say it’s all true.
- The Old Armory in Williston

On the inside, however, it is known to be haunted. Mannequins in the building have been reported to move on their own and disembodied whispering has been heard inside.
- Harvey Public Library

That’s because it is supposedly built on top of a home that was formerly the site of a murder. Decades later, the library is said to experience unexplained activity after hours, such as books being pulled off of shelves.
- White Lady Lane

This rural road near Leroy, North Dakota is said to have sightings of a woman in white who was either killed on that road or killed herself, depending on the urban legend you hear. Many people have claimed to see her ghostly apparition on the side of the road at night.
- Trollwood Park

Today it is a bright and lovely park with playgrounds, disc golf, and plenty of paths to walk on, but a long time ago it was a community farm for those who had nowhere else to go, work, or live. Many of people died there and were buried, some in unmarked graves. Today it is said you can see a ghost standing near a particular willow tree near where the graveyard was.
