Haunted places are locations believed to be inhabited by ghosts or marked by supernatural activity—old houses, abandoned hospitals, battlefields, cemeteries.

The phrase suggests eerie atmospheres and unexplained phenomena: The tour covered the most haunted places in New Orleans.

Some haunted places become tourist attractions; others are simply buildings with dark histories and persistent rumors.
