1. Start with a simple search
Type what you are looking for in plain language. Try things like “haunted bridge”, “old cemetery with ghost stories”, or “abandoned hospital legends”.
2. Narrow it to an area
Add a ZIP code if you want places near you. Use the radius to widen or tighten the search. You can also add a state if you want to search a broader region without locking to one town.
3. Pick the search style
Best match: Good all-around results.
Story match: Closer to the exact words and theme you typed.
Near me: Prioritizes location.
Legend-heavy: More folklore and atmosphere.
More documented: Stronger historical support.
4. Open a place card
Each result gives you a quick summary first. Open the card to read the fuller story, see the location details, and decide whether it is worth exploring further.
5. Use the guide for follow-up questions
After you pick a place, switch to Ask the Guide and ask things like:
What makes this place famous?Is this more legend or history?What should I read first?Are there similar places nearby?
A small reality check, because the universe is messy
Some places are backed by history, some by folklore, and some by pure campfire chaos. This tool is best used to explore stories, local memory, and reported hauntings — not to promise that a ghost will clock in for your visit.
