Now known for the upbeat musical of the same name, the state of Oklahoma has far from a cheerful past. Claimed over and over again by France, Spain, Mexico and finally the United States, the natives of Oklahoma eventually found themselves competing for land with other native tribes forcibly moved onto their lands to allow for white settlers. Following the Trail of Tears, Oklahoma barely had any time to serve as Indian Territory before white settlers and their slaves were allowed to establish themselves in the territory as well.

Political turbulence arising from racism, the Great Depression and Dust Bowl continued to haunt the Sooner state and in many ways still do. Perhaps this is why Oklahoma has so many ghosts clinging to their past. A strange phenomena lights up a corner of the state known as the Devil’s Promenade.

One of the most popular hotels in Oklahoma City is also known for giving out-of-state teams the fright of their lives when they come in for away games.
