Haunted Locations are places associated with reports of apparitions, unexplained phenomena, ghost legends, paranormal investigations and supernatural folklore.

Throughout history, certain locations have developed reputations for unusual or unexplained activity. These places often become associated with ghost stories, eyewitness accounts, historical tragedies, folklore traditions and paranormal investigations.

This category contains locations that have been reported as haunted or have gained significance within the study of ghosts, hauntings and related phenomena.

• Reported apparitions or ghost sightings.
• Historical events connected with alleged hauntings.
• Folklore and local legends.
• Paranormal investigations.
• Repeated witness accounts.
• Locations featured in books, documentaries or research into paranormal claims.

A location's inclusion within this category does not confirm that paranormal activity has occurred. The Vault documents reported experiences, historical background and cultural significance while separating verified information from unverified claims.

Category:Haunted Locations collects places with a documented association with reported hauntings.
