Browse by category

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

Ships or Yachts

People often think that ships are "haunted" because of all the terrible things that can happen at sea, like violent storms, shipwrecks, and deaths. These tragedies can leave a strong emotional mark on a place, which is why people believe that the dead crew members or passengers of the ship show up as ghosts. Basically, the harshness of the sea and the chance of sudden death contribute to the idea that ships are haunted. Furthermore, ships are surrounded by moving bodies of water, and it is believed that spirits can use the energy of the moving waters as fuel to manifest and communicate with the living.

Hotels

People often perceive hotels and motels as "haunted" due to their frequent visitors, who can leave behind residual energy. They are also often old, historic buildings that may have witnessed significant life events, such as deaths, which can create a sense of lingering spirits or "ghosts" in the space. Additionally, the unfamiliar environment and quiet nature of hotels can contribute to feelings of unease and vulnerability. These factors can increase people's likelihood of believing in paranormal experiences.

Apartment Buildings

There are several reasons why apartment buildings could be considered "haunted." These reasons can include their long histories, the high turnover of residents, the presence of shared spaces that can amplify strange occurrences, and the potential for tragic events to happen within the building's walls or on the land before the building existed, which could leave behind lingering spirits. Essentially, a building with numerous stories and frequent occupants can heighten the probability of a haunting narrative lingering within its walls due to consistently available energy.
