hauntable
Fit for specters
Hauntable describes a place susceptible to being haunted—possessing qualities that make ghostly occupation plausible or likely.
Old mansions, abandoned asylums, and Victorian houses are hauntable; strip malls and parking garages typically aren't.
The creaky farmhouse looked eminently hauntable.
The word often carries a note of atmospheric appeal rather than genuine fear.
