Access and community standards

What belongs in the atlas

Find Haunted Places is a discovery guide for paranormal investigators and curious visitors. A listing should identify a real place, an accountable operator and the access being offered. A directory entry is never permission to enter property.

“Access information checked” means practical information was reviewed against linked sources on the date shown. It does not authenticate paranormal activity or guarantee safety or current availability. Reported experiences remain attributed reports.

Paid placement, plainly labeled

Paid visibility is labeled Sponsored and follows the same editorial standards. A listing does not imply a partnership or endorsement.

Your account and fieldbook

Your location and the map

Near me asks your browser for permission and calculates straight-line distances on your device. Your coordinates are not sent to or saved by this app. You can search by venue, city or state instead.

OpenFreeMap map requests disclose your IP address and the viewed map area to the map provider. The map uses OpenMapTiles and OpenStreetMap data. Account details are not sent. Pins are approximate and do not identify an entrance.

Photographs and booking

Only upload media you own or have permission to publish, with consent for other people’s faces and voices. Venue-linked media stays pending until the venue approves it. Approval is not verification of paranormal activity.

Booking links lead to the venue or its provider, which handles availability, payments and cancellation rules. Anonymous booking click records contain a random visit identifier, time, venue and source, with no name, email or IP address. Clicks are not completed bookings.
