A Haunted House
Ghost-infested home
A haunted house is a building believed or alleged to be inhabited by ghosts or supernatural presences.
The term also refers to an attraction—permanent or seasonal—designed to frighten visitors with spooky décor, startling effects, and costumed performers: We took the kids to a haunted house for Halloween.
The phrase sometimes describes any place with an eerie, unsettling atmosphere.
