Browse by category

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

Libraries

Libraries are typically old buildings with a rich history; they are filled with stories and knowledge contained within books, which could attract lingering spirits who may want to continue learning or experiencing the stories even after death. Additionally, the quiet and secluded nature of a library can contribute to a heightened sense of the paranormal. This characteristic is one of the reasons libraries are frequently considered potentially haunted locations. One also needs to consider the land that the library is built upon. Paranormal activity is often tied to the land and not the particular structure. If there has been paranormal activity within buildings that have been razed and a new building is built in that location, the activity may continue in the new structure.

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.

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.
