U.S. Haunted Attractions Draw Wider Coverage

Local outlets and travel guides are highlighting haunted attractions across the United States, featuring reported phenomena such as flickering lights, swinging doors, ghostly reflections and phantom touches. Examples cited include Florida spots like Ashley’s Restaurant & Bar in Rockledge and a transplanted 19th‑century London pub haunted by “Bertha,” Ohio’s Tudor‑style Punderson Manor Lodge, and Texas legends such as Denton’s Old Alton “Goatman” Bridge and the Phantom of the Lizard Lounge in Dallas. Coverage also notes Memphis outlets and podcasts exploring haunted breweries and Oklahoma weekend haunted‑attraction events, showing reporting spans audio, print and travel features. Stories combine eyewitness detail and regional lore that fuel road‑trip tourism and seasonal programming at bars, parks and bridges. Some coverage cautions that many “based on a true story” horror claims are often embellished, reflecting a mix of skepticism and promotional interest. Earlier reporting that focused on decades of ghost sightings at Toronto’s Steam Whistle Brewing and the John Street Roundhouse is not emphasized in the later U.S.-focused coverage.
