haunted grounds

Spirit-infested property

Haunted grounds are places—usually outdoor areas like cemeteries, battlefields, or estates—believed to be inhabited by ghosts or supernatural presences.

The phrase often appears in ghost stories and horror attractions: The old plantation's haunted grounds drew thrill-seekers every Halloween.

Unlike a haunted house, the term emphasizes the land itself as the site of paranormal activity.
