haunted mansions

Spooky old residences

Haunted mansions are large, imposing houses believed or imagined to be inhabited by ghosts.

The phrase evokes Gothic architecture, cobwebs, creaking floorboards, and restless spirits—staples of horror fiction and Halloween attractions.

The old haunted mansion at the end of the road had been empty for decades.

Theme parks feature haunted mansion rides where animatronic ghosts provide theatrical scares.
