• Gilcrease Museum- By Troy Talyor-  The town of Tulsa is lucky enough to be the home of many ghosts, including two of Oklahoma's most famous ones. The first haunts the Gilcrease Museum, which was established a number of years ago thanks to Thomas Gilcrease. After his death in 1962, the philanthropist's ghosts has been seen and heard haunting the museum. Perhaps he just loved the place so much that he never wanted to leave. Not surprisingly, Gilcrease has also been spotted lingering at the Tulsa Historical Society, which was once his home.

• Tulsa Brady Theatre- By Troy Taylor- Tulsa, like many other cities, also boasts a haunted theater... with a very famous ghost. The spirit who is said to linger here is that of the famed opera singer, Enrico Caruso. But why Tulsa? Apparently, the tenor died of pleurisy just one year after an open-air carriage ride on a cold and wet Oklahoma day. Caruso's manager blamed his illness on the unlucky stop in Tulsa and it is said that his ghost still haunts the Brady Theater in retribution for causing his demise.

• Constantine Theatre- By Troy Taylor- There is another haunted theater, the Constantine Theater, which can be found in Pawhuska, in Osage County. This building is said to be haunted by the ghost of Sappho Constantine Brown, the beautiful daughter of the theater, George Constantine.

• Sparks Graveyard- By Troy Taylor- "Sparky's Graveyard  is located between Harvard & Yale on 91st right in front of Jenks Middle school in Tulsa.   It is a African American graveyard...The reason why it is so  far to the south side of town is because when Tulsa was first built, the North side of town was wealthy and the South side was poor......Anyway the graveyard is haunted by a Headless Indian. The locals have named him "Sparky".  Many people have seen him."
