Local Ghost Folklore and Legends of Six Counties in the State of Kentucky

Do you believe in ghosts? Apparitions and paranormal activity is reported every day in every corner of the world; here are the stories of six locations in Kentucky that have had their share of the unexplained.

Adair County, Columbia, Kentucky

In Horton Hall, located on the campus of the Lindsey Wilson College, students have claimed that shadowy figures invade their dorm rooms at night. Not much is known about the dark apparitions or why they haunt the building but many have claimed to see them in their room and reported that if they got out of bed, the shadowy figures let out an unearthly scream and disappeared.

Christian County, Hopkinsville, Kentucky

At Bart's Grill and Racket Room Pub, patrons and employees have claimed to see objects lift up and fly across the dining room. Many problems with the electricity have also been reported here; lights dimming or going on and off for no apparent reason and sometimes the lights refuse to come on at all.

Fayette County, Lexington, Kentucky

At the Gothic-style Loudoun House, the apparition of a woman dressed in Victorian clothing has been spotted in the dining room. In the rooms upstairs, many have reported the aroma of floral perfume in the air, voices and the faint sound of ballroom music.

Madison County, Berea, Kentucky

At the Boone Travel Hotel, once a part of the Underground Railroad, several people have taken pictures and found that the apparition of a young slave boy had posed for their picture as well. Others who have visited the hotel have reported hearing disembodied voices.

Taylor County, Campbellsville, Kentucky

Many who have visited the M & R Estates have experienced unexplained temperature changes throughout the house, heard the sounds of disembodied screaming and some have even reported seeing blood in the rafters of the old barn.
