5 Unbelievably Creepy Haunted Locations in Nebraska

Road L may be this eerie locale's official name, but every local knows it better as Seven Sisters Road. The title comes from a tragic tale of, you guessed it, seven doomed sisters.

The legend dates back to the 19th century, following a man who had an argument with his—you guessed it—seven sisters. This argument culminated with the man taking the sisters one by one and hanging them each from a tree on different hills along the road.

Today, this stretch of road is known as one of the most haunted place in the state. Those passing through have experienced a number of chilling paranormal experiences.

Some report hearing the echoing, blood-curdling screams of women on dark nights. Others say their car inexplicably stalls or their battery has been completely drained.

Just outside of McCook to the north, a site known as Devil's Canyon sits at the end of a dirt road. Rumor has it that, more than a century ago, a man slaughtered his wife and children here before taking his own life.

Visitors to Devil's Canyon believe the spirit of this man has not left. There have been numerous reports of a male apparition—nicknamed “the Duke”—prowling the alleged location of these horrific murders and playing tricks on those who pass through.

Travelers also claim that cars and other technology brought to the area have experience inexplicable malfunctions.

Built in 1903, the Alliance Theatre was actually first known as the Charter Hotel. It wasn't converted into a theater until 35 years later in 1938, first offering live stage performances before pivoting to movies.

It's unclear exactly when the paranormal activity here began, but there have been supernatural disturbances for as long as anyone can remember.

Theater employees claim they frequently spot shadowy figures around the property, accompanied by phantom footsteps treading through the hall.

It's rumored that one of the ghosts haunting the theater is that of an actress who died while portraying a bride in a live show. It's said that a light fixture fell from the ceiling before she stepped out on stage and crushed her before a horrified audience.

She allegedly still walks through the rows of seats, and the staff blames her for moving furniture and doors opening and closing on their own. Some even say they've spotted the apparition of a weeping bride, and even her practicing lines.

The owner of this theater has embraced that his business is haunted, but insists that any ghosts present are the friendly sort.

Located on the edges of Grand Island, this bridge stands as the object of an eerie legend.

It's said that, long ago, a woman once lived in a house that sat at the end of this bridge. She and her neighbors were accused of witchcraft and devil worship, and subsequently burned at the stake by the townspeople.

As such, this bridge has come to be known as “Witch's Bridge,” carrying stories of an angry spirit that still lingers behind. Some even think that the bridge is cursed.

In later years—during a time when the railroad maintained the bridge that ran adjacent to the current structure—a freak accident occurred one winter.

As the railroad workers were trying to dislodge an ice jam that had built up on the rail bridge, a group of local residents came out to watch the dynamite explosions. One of the blasts rattled the onlookers' bridge so violently that a woman stumbled and dropped her baby into the freezing waters below.

For days, both workers and locals searched for the infant, but the child was never found. It's said that the mother never stopped looking.

Today, visitors of the bridge may find that their car will shut off if they drive through.

Others say that you can hear the sounds of the distraught mother sobbing over the loss of her baby.

And, if you are brave enough to visit the bridge at night, you may encounter the ghost of the witch, who will try to pull you into the river if you stare into the water for too long.

Some people are already creeped out at the thought of visiting a cemetery. But things are even eerier at Ball Cemetery, where spirits walk amongst the graves.

The oldest headstone here dates back to 1869. With such a long history of laying the dead to rest, it's no surprise there have been reports of multiple apparitions.

One apparition is described as a tall man with a foul temper. He is seen walking around the cemetery kicking over gravestones, and some even say he attacks visitors who come to the cemetery at night.

Another is that of the jovial Mary Mumford. She likes to tug on visitors' clothing, and she can be heard laughing uncontrollably.

Photographs taken her are known to be subject to odd anomalies.
