Haunted Mansions

Haunted Mansions

Haunted mansions (synonyms: manor house, chateau, villa, estate, hall; example toponyms: Delspire Manor, Ivywood Hall, Wildmoor) are mansions that are a haunted location and are experiencing some supernatural event. Haunted mansions may possess hidden rooms, elaborate crawlspaces, peepholes, dumbwaiters, eerie attics, creepy basements, libraries, studies, and other areas. There may be ponds, gardens, woods, hedge mazes, and small graveyards on the property. There may be skeletal remains hidden in sites around the mansion. Haunted mansions may have been designed by a mad architect. They are home to ghosts, strange groundskeepers, and realtors looking to sell.
