North County’s Most Haunted
The Payne-Gentry house is reportedly home to numerous ghosts
With its long history and many old buildings, it’s no wonder that North County has its fair share of hauntings. I know of probably a dozen private homes with regular ghostly activity, but that’s my secret! Instead I’ll share some of the area’s most famous haunts, all of which are open to the public.
1) The Payne-Gentry House, 4211 Fee Fee Rd, 63044
Built in 1870, this historic house and museum was home to the Payne and Gentry families for more than 100 years. William Payne served as Bridgeton’s local doctor and operated his office out of the house’s 1880 addition. Several paranormal groups have investigated the property and have reported strange orbs, uneasy feelings of being watched, and multiple cold spots. Some believe the property is an energy vortex.
2) Oak Grove Cemetery, 7800 St. Charles Rock Rd, 63114
The ghost of a well-dressed man – some say in tophat and tails – has been said to appear just outside this beautiful cemetery. Legend has it that he appears to drivers along Hanley Rd and sometimes even speaks to them.
