Cherokee County Courthouse

Oklahoma · USA · Hospital

The Oklahoma courthouse was the city hospital for many years. Deputies watch the visitation door close on camera with nobody there to close it.

The Cherokee County Courthouse at Tahlequah, Oklahoma was the city hospital for many years before it became a courthouse. The Sheriff's Department occupies the second floor.

The account comes from someone who worked there for four years, and it concerns the jail. The visitation area is divided by a large sheet of Plexiglas. The door leading between the two sides makes a distinctive low boom when it shuts, because closing it flexes that sheet. Two cameras cover the area.

Working nights, this employee and a good many others have heard that door close and make its particular noise, and have looked straight at the cameras covering the spot and seen that there is nobody there. The sound cannot be made by anything else in the room. It is the flexing of a specific panel of plastic by a specific door.

Haunted courthouse stories usually involve the cells or the courtroom. This one involves a piece of security hardware, reported by staff who spend their shifts watching the monitors it appears on.
