ghost house

Paranormal residence attraction

A ghost house is a building reputed to be haunted, or one designed to simulate that experience—a haunted attraction at a carnival or amusement park.

In video games, particularly the Super Mario series, ghost houses are maze-like levels filled with spectral enemies and trick doors.

The term sometimes describes abandoned or dilapidated houses that look like they should be haunted: That old ghost house on the corner has been empty for decades.
