Much of Tulsa sits on ancient Indian burial grounds, and many believe that has a lot to do with the number of legends and unexplained sightings at spots around town.
Thomas Gilcrease died in 1962, but some say his presence is still here, looking out from this window in his former home at the beloved museum he created and grounds surrounding it all.
"He did love the grounds, and he loved trees for sure," Gilcrease Museum groundskeeper Phil Adams said.
People even come to the museum specifically looking for Thomas Gilcrease's ghost and the Native American children that reportedly under the grounds, where their school used to be.
"Several, yes, it seems like younger kids maybe they're inspired by those ghost hunter shows but they have come here to look at the house specifically for ghosts,” Adams said.
It's an Italian opera star who supposedly haunts the Brady Theater. Enrico Caruso died in 1921 after he performed at the Brady.
His manager blamed Caruso's death from pneumonia on his trip to Tulsa and an open carriage ride he took while here.
Tulsa Little Theatre is reportedly so haunted that several paranormal investigators have come to see for themselves and determined that there are several ghosts there. The theatre was built in 1932 and went through an extensive renovation project in 2004 that stirred spirits up.
And a spot at 21st and Boston sits empty now, but a large home belonging to Ms. Carolann Smith sat there in the 1940s.
It made national news when two young women missing for years, were found in the freezing basement, beaten and starving.
Smith practiced in the occult and other rituals.
The house was torn down in 1975 but apparitions reportedly roam the site still today.
