• Cemeteries or old Graveyards: Rumors of phantom and apparition appearances in cemeteries have been recorded in every culture of the world and far back into history. It's a good place to start and again you can check local records for the grave sites of people that have been reported to have been murdered or have had their ghost seen by people.

• Old Buildings or Hotels and Houses: Try to find a building that is more than one hundred years old. It's not a guarantee that it will be haunted but the older the building/hotel the better chance you'll have in finding some ghosts. If you can get past records or talk to someone that once worked there you'll have a better chance of finding exactly what rooms to begin searching.

• Schools, Colleges: Almost every college will have a ghost story. Some are worth checking into. Some hot spots in schools include kitchens, the gym and dorm rooms. Spirits have also been seen floating across the campus from dorm room windows.

• Churches: Churches can be some of the most haunted places you ever find. There are churches that report haunting by multiple ghosts. Some reports in churches include candles lighting and flying around on their own. Strange lights glowing inside the church when there is no one.

• Theaters: There may be some ghosts of past employees or actors and even people that just came to the theater to watch shows. Asking around should dig up some stories. There is almost always a dressing room or balcony that no one goes into anymore because of strange things happening.

• Prisons: is another great site to find some lingering spirits. Prisons like the Alcatraz in the States, now closed, estimate dozens of restless souls still occupy the cells. It's not just prisons but also slave camps or concentration camps. Anywhere that group of people was held together with pain has a high chance of housing unrest spirits.

This point, maybe i can add on a little bit.

People always used to believe that the surrounding of Religious area like churches, temples, etc are the best area or plcs that are "very clean", but actually they are a bit wrong.

Why? 'cos such areas are actually areas for wandering spirits or souls to mingle around or waiting for "offerings" and "helps".

Spirits and souls are like us, human, which need helps, blessings or being look after. So for such religious venues, spirits or souls are able to get certain blessings or helps from the saints, deities, immortals in and outside the religious venue.

So in the olden days or elderly nowadays dont actually agree on getting a unit of apartment near or opposite religious venues.

Hi All,

Just my 2 cents worth, ghost exist everywhere (no time zone) , it could be even in your house.

Take for instance red (meaning marriage ) and white event ( funeral at void deck), at these 2 venue, the ghost who are at present are mostly likely your past relatives, ancestor, close one who came to offer their blessing and for the latter, to receive the one who had just passed away.
