by Wyoming’s wild landscapes and storied history hide more than just beauty — they’re home to haunted hotels, eerie cemeteries, and unsettling landmarks that keep ghost hunters and thrill-seekers coming back. If you’re drawn to the strange and supernatural, these ten spots deliver the chills.
Wyoming Frontier Prison – Rawlins
Known as one of Wyoming’s most haunted sites, this prison operated for nearly 80 years and saw countless grim events. The infamous “pie lady” legend and paranormal sightings during October haunted tours have cemented its eerie reputation. Visitors often report ghostly figures and unexplained noises echoing through its stone walls.
The Historic Plains Hotel – Cheyenne
A tragic tale haunts this elegant landmark — the ghost of Rosie, a bride who killed her husband and his lover before taking her own life. Guests report apparitions, cold spots, and whispers on the second floor. Its blend of historic charm and ghostly lore makes it a must-visit for supernatural enthusiasts.
Irma Hotel – Cody
Built by Buffalo Bill himself, the Irma Hotel has history — and hauntings. Guests staying in Rooms 35 and 37 often experience playful pranks, moving objects, and strange sounds. Some even claim to have seen Buffalo Bill’s spirit roaming the halls.
Sweetwater County Library – Green River
Built over a former cemetery, this library is notorious for paranormal activity. Staff have logged incidents of books flying off shelves, phantom voices, and electronics turning on by themselves. Haunted tours in October attract both book lovers and ghost hunters.
Fort Bridger State Historic Site – Fort Bridger
This site is said to be haunted by soldiers and even a ghostly dog named Thornburgh, guarding the cemetery. Its military past, role in westward expansion, and lingering spirits make it both historically rich and eerily captivating.
Devils Tower National Monument
This iconic natural wonder carries deep Native American legends, including a tale of children saved from a giant bear whose claws etched the tower’s grooves. Its sheer size and mysterious origins have sparked UFO stories and supernatural claims for decades.
Hell’s Half Acre – Near Casper
A barren stretch of jagged ravines and twisted rock formations, Hell’s Half Acre has been called “The Devil’s Kitchen.” Native American history and its stark, almost alien landscape give it a haunting, otherworldly feel.
Gebo Cemetery – Near Kirby
An abandoned graveyard where rusted children’s cribs mark graves, Gebo Cemetery radiates an unsettling stillness. Visitors often describe a sense of being watched, making it a chilling stop for the brave.
