Every house has a penunggunya, agree? This watchman can be a previous owner who is still not 'willing' to leave his house, and could be the house is the location of the occurrence of murder.
Well, IDN Times summarizes seven houses from some haunted houses discovered by Ranker!
- Whaley House
This house was in San Diego, California, in 1856. The location is also where a master thief named Yankee Jim (James Robinson) was executed by hanging, four years earlier. Yankee, before being hung up in public says that the results of his thefts were used to contribute to the needy.
After the house was completed, the Whaley family who occupied the house began to hear and feel strange things. Starting from footsteps that are often heard throughout the house. No need to wait a long time, the Whaley family left the house.
The story of the Yankee ghost that haunted the house spread quickly. Then, in 1950, the local government renovated the empty house. However, strange events occurred to the workers, such as doors and windows that open-cover themselves. Surprisingly, it was not Yankee's ghost being seen, but the Whaley family couple who 'returned' to their home.

However, James instead imprisoned his own wife to be separated from his son. In one side of the prison at the top of the castle, Isobel tries to run away and find his son. However, while trying to get out of prison, Isobel fell from a height and died.
Until now the castle is designated as a hotel and given the name Hastings Hotel Group. The visitors of the hotel who stayed had even told me that they saw the figure of Isobel walking along the castle. Uniquely, Isobel will knock every hotel room and inquire about his son's whereabouts.
