Welcome To Tulsa's #1 Rated Ghost Tour

Across the Arkansas River sits a city where bloodshed once flowed through the streets known to be run by the wicked. Heartland Haunts: Tulsa Ghost Tour takes you on a journey through Tulsa’s dark past and exposes the horrifying truths that consume the locations you’ll discover on your stroll of terror.

Massacre, Mayhem, and the Mystique of a Haunted Theater 

Don’t mistake Tulsa’s seemingly innocent look for a shallow history. Beneath the city’s vibrant facade lies a dark past filled with moments of hope, despair, chaos, and senseless violence. The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre is a horrific chapter in American history that forever stained the city.

Join Heartland Haunts on a journey to the Tulsa Theater, formerly known as the Brady Theater, originally owned by the town’s founder, who had sinister ties to the KKK. It was here that one of the deadliest riots in US history took place, leaving lingering pain and anguished spirits. 

Uncover the unfathomable events that took place that fateful day and the bloodshed that left the area filled with the sorrowful cries of the departed. Gruesome and deadly as the event was, it wasn’t the only cause of the hauntings that plague the Tulsa Theater. 

Who are the multiple entities that inhabit this historic theater? Who’s disembodied voice can be heard echoing with sadness and despair throughout the theater? Get the answers to these questions and more on a Tulsa ghost tour with Heartland Haunts, where you’ll get a chance to experience the chills that overtake the locals time and time again.

What Will I See?

Visit Tulsa’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:

• The Tulsa Theater – This seemingly innocent theater was formerly known as The Brady Theater, originally owned by a man with ties to the KKK. The building was used as a detention center following the Tulsa Race Massacre and, because of the amount of bloodshed on the premises, is considered one of the most haunted places in Tulsa.

• The Hex House – Dubbed one of the scariest places in the country, the Hex House is steeped in real-life mysteries and spooky hauntings, making it the perfect spot for thrill-seekers itching for a spooky adventure with a ghost. Prepare to explore the dark secrets of Mrs. Smith and encounter the ghostly echoes of BonBon over a spine-tingling walking tour!

• Cain’s Ballroom – Cain’s Ballroom, once a dance haven for Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys, now moonlights as a hotspot for both toe-tappers and ghost-hunters, where the spirit of Bob himself isn’t shy about making an appearance on stage or behind the scenes. For a night of music and mystery, grab your dancing shoes and join us on a walking tour to the site of the legendary Cain’s Ballroom. It promises a lot of ghostly fun!

Basement of Horror

Ranked among the scariest destinations in the state and region, Tulsa’s Hex House may be gone, but its dark legacy lives on. The original house was demolished in the 1970s, but the spot where it once stood is now a parking lot shrouded in unsettling activity and eerie events. 

Forget the ordinary haunted spots with historical ghost stories; the Hex House is a living nightmare that continues to give visitors and thrill seekers the creep. Prepare to hear the story of a wicked widow who inhabited the Hex House, Mrs Smith, and her manipulative lifestyle of exploiting vulnerable and innocent people and cashing in on life insurance policies of deceased loved ones. 

Today, strange occurrences like flickering car lights, disembodied whispers, and a pervasive sense of dread now plague the lot where the Hex House once stood, hinting at the sinister secrets hidden beneath the cold asphalt. Local lore claims the ghost of a dog roams the parking lot every night. 

Could it be BonBon, the ill-fated dog of Mrs. Smith, forever trapped on the ground where it met its tragic end, seeking solace or perhaps revenge? Join our Tulsa ghost tour at the site of the Hex House to find out more!

Where the Music Lives On… and Maybe Some Unruly Spirits Too

Music history meets the unexplained at Cain’s Ballroom, Tulsa’s iconic dance hall. Built in 1924, this historic venue began as a garage for the city’s elite, but after a tragic turn of events, it transformed into a dance academy and, finally, the heart of Tulsa’s swing dancing scene in the 1930s and 40s, thanks to Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys. 

But the music doesn’t stop after dark at Cain’s. Even after Bob Wills’ passing in 1975, his legacy—and perhaps his presence—lives on. Since his death, strange occurrences have plagued the ballroom. Staff and performers alike have reported encounters with a shadowy figure resembling Bob himself. 

Is it Bob’s playful spirit or something more sinister? Find out on a Tulsa ghost tour with Heartland Haunts.
