Overholser Mansion ghost stories

The Overholser Mansion, built in 1903–1904 by city founder Henry Overholser, operates as a historic house museum in Oklahoma City. Visitors and staff have long reported hearing unexplained footsteps, seeing a woman in period dress, and other phenomena, which local media and tour operators describe as ghost sightings. The mansion's ghost stories are part of the property's public interpretation and are included in some of the mansion's guided tours and local folklore write-ups. Historians note the house's prominence in early Oklahoma City history while also documenting the persistence of these local lore accounts.
