We don’t need to be in the thick of Halloween season to find spine-tingling stories and ghost tales that will keep us up at night. Oklahoma certainly has its fair share of spooky places and histories that have been passed down over generations. But, one of the most interesting is that of this mansion said to be haunted by the ghosts of those who lived…and died here.
From the outside the Grisso Mansion in Seminole might just look like any other beautiful, stately home. Blue skies, sunny days and a golden exterior certainly help that. But the history of this home isn’t completely bright.

It was built in 1928 by Arkansas-native William Edward “Doc” Grisso. A pharmacist by trade, he operated the town’s only drug store and even served as the medical examiner for a while.

During the oil boom, Grisso became one of the most wealthy men in the country, soon acquiring land and mineral rights all over. But, the way he got these rights isn’t clear and most people believe that it was probably sinister.

It’s believed that Grisso married a young Seminole woman named Suda in order to gain access to her land rights. The story becomes more plausible when we consider that Suda died just a few months later. And while the cause was not deemed to include foul play, most believe that Grisso being the medical examiner gave him knowledge of just how to poison someone undetected.

Today, paranormal investigators believe that Suda and a boy who calls himself Micco spend their days in the basement where the formal ballroom was built.
