ATNT named the most haunted stadium in North America
The home of the Dallas Cowboys was named the most haunted stadium in North America.
ARLINGTON, Texas - A recent survey named AT&T Stadium as the most haunted stadium in North America, and it's not just because of the lack of Cowboys playoff success.
What we know:
Sports Geek released the ranking based on a review of the folklore, graveyard proximity, and construction history of each venue.
AT&T Stadium topped the ranking with a score of 62 out of 100. The 17-year-old venue received the maximum points for published ghost stories.
The stadium also sits near Keystone Cemetery, which is attributed to its score.
Staff members described mysterious shadows, unexplained voices, and approaching footsteps that suddenly stop.
In one stadium kitchen, employees witnessed dishes rising into the air before crashing to the floor. This incident frightened some workers enough to quit on the spot, according to the report.
Workers also reported an unexplained cold spot near a room named after legendary Cowboys coach Tom Landry, fueling speculation that his spirit remains at the stadium.
