We have several categories to choice from to browse the locations. Below we selected just a few random selections.

Bed and Breakfasts

There are instances when people feel that bed and breakfasts, which are typically attractive old properties, are haunted because of their historical context. Most often, bed and breakfasts are buildings with a rich and illustrious history, often dating back hundreds of years. After major events like deaths, disasters, or violent crimes, some buildings may acquire the reputation of being haunted within the community. Unlike hotels, bed & breakfasts often evoke uneasy feelings, as you are staying in someone's home or a museum. Such an experience can lead to feelings of intrusiveness rather than relaxation, as if you shouldn't be there. Bed and breakfasts may even choose to embrace their "haunted" reputation as a means of attracting visitors and ghost hunters. Such an approach would bolster the perception of haunted locations.

Factories or Mills

Old factories or mills are often considered "haunted" because of their history of potentially tragic accidents, harsh working conditions, and the large number of people who may have died on site during their operation. These factors have led to stories of lingering spirits attached to the building due to the traumatic experiences associated with the location. The dilapidated state of many abandoned locations also contributes to a spooky atmosphere, further fueling the belief in hauntings. Furthermore, old mills are also located near moving bodies of moving water (waterfalls), which could potentially act as fuel for the spirits to manifest.

Islands

Many factors contribute to the perception of islands as haunted. These factors include the fact that islands are geographically isolated and their historical affiliation with challenging situations such as disease or battle. Islands are naturally secluded, which results in a belief in islands harboring spirits. Several societies hold the belief that spirits are unable to travel across water, contributing to the notion that islands are haunted since spirits would be unable to leave the island because it's surrounded by water. Some islands were used to house those afflicted with contagious diseases, which has led to countless deaths on islands as well. Isolation, history, and unexplainable events can lead to the creation of ghost stories and legends about islands.
