now imagine the scene you arrive at the airport in Hawaii a bit earlier and decide to chill in the waiting area suddenly you notice an anxious blonde lady in a white dress standing at a gate she's looking out the window on the runway waiting for someone's arrival you reach into your bag for some chocolate to comfort her but it's too late she vanished Into Thin Air congratulations you just met the lady in waiting a resident Phantom of the Honolulu International Airport like any Phantom she has a grim backstory the lady once fell in love with a man and he promised to marry her but then the Happy Groom flew abroad and never returned to his bride his betrayal broke her heart and she took her own life but her Fantom is still attached to the airport and she waits for her man to return just like the famous Japanese dog Hao waited for its Master over the years the local police have collected numerous complaints about the lady Phantom wandering around the gates and other restricted areas of the airport also this entity likes to hang out in public bathrooms just like Moaning Myrtle from the iconic fantasy novel some airport employees reported seeing paper dolls unfolding on their own while cleaning empty bathrooms in the middle of the night in some cases toilet seats slam shut and toilets flush by themselves however it's unlikely to surprise anyone since many public bathrooms have automatic flushing unfortunately this urban legend doesn't clarify the way to release the heartbroken Phantom but at least this story is a good reminder to think twice before you make any promises and speaking of spooky ladies in white the Kee Goa internet national airport in India also has one a pilot once noticed a weird woman in a white sari on the runway he called the airport workers asking to help her but she disappeared by the time the staff arrived at the spot numerous Witnesses have seen the same Phantom in other parts of the airport the lady haunted people in the cargo department on escalators and even in the parking lot according to the media nobody knew knows her background or the reason why she's here maybe her luggage was lost and she's just trying to get it back today sanab boom airport in Bangkok is one of the busiest airports in the world but it doesn't stop this transport hub from also holding the title of the most haunted place in Thailand although imagination tends to draw something old and Dusty when we hear the word haunted suab boom is relatively new it started operating in 2006 but it turned out that the land under the airport used to be an ancient burial site where Crews had to drain a marshin called Cobra swamp to prepare the land plot for building and mysterious events began to occur from the very first days of work wailing creepy screams and even classic music came out of nowhere some Builders refused to continue construction because they were too scared of evil forces the locals believed that they had angered the entities who were sleeping beneath the new airport that's why 99 time monks were invited to perform a ritual together they chanted for 9 weeks to clear all the bad vibes the ceremony was almost finished but suddenly a random man interrupted the monks and claimed to be possessed by one of the local entities his message was pretty clear you should build a proper Spirit house to guarantee the smooth operation of the airport having said that he fainted later the guy woke up feeling normal and conscious well the airport authorities decided to fulfill the mysterious request Spirit houses are part of Thai traditional beliefs land owners build nice tiny shrines to establish friendships with invisible entities who might inhabit their plots of land so if you ever find yourself at the Bangkok Airport don't forget to check out this artifact as well as the churning of the ocean the remarkable sculptures that depict the ancient Hindu myth the story is basically about light and dark deities working together to get Amita the beverage of immortality now here's another reason why you should think twice before building a transport Hub on questionable land welcome to Denver International Airport reportedly one of the most famous haunted airports in the world it stands on a special ice olated plot of land that was considered Sacred By Its former residents according to the media people reported multiple problems and strange incidents going on at the airport from the very beginning of construction today this place attracts numerous Mystery Hunters and the number of urban legends around the airport multiplies some investigate the hidden meaning behind the local murals and gargoyles others believe that the giant Cobalt colored horse statue in in front of the airport is haunted that's because the sculpture known as blucifer took the life of its creator Luis Jimenez in 2006 a piece came loose and hit the sculptor while he was finishing his work the airport's enormous layout and remote location inspir some people to speculate that there's a secret bunker under it in fact it's bigger than some real cities like San Francisco for example but the spokesman of the airport debunk that meth saying that this transport Hub must support at least 50 million Travelers a year and thus it needs to be huge our next destination May inspire you to revisit the langers created by the legendary horror writer Stephen King although the Thriller took place at King's Hometown airport in Banger main we'll be talking about the historic Chandler airport located in Fresno California this place has many abnormal stories to tell including reports of people going through the old terminal wall some passengers heard disembodied voices in the airport restaurant the kitchen staff once reported hearing a suspicious noise while cleaning up they went to see what was going on and witnessed a plate moving across the counter and then falling onto the floor perhaps the invisible customer was just upset by overly High food prices hey hey it could happen just like Honolulu airport Chandler has a resident Phantom it's an old man in the control tower thankfully this guy doesn't bother anybody according to Witnesses he's just staring at the field as if he's watching invisible aircraft take off and land meanwhile the urban legend behind Savannah Hilton Head International Airport is spooky and romantic at the same time it says the following if you land right after sun down you'll get the chance to see two Phantoms along the north side of the runway now the legend says these are the Phantoms of Richard and Catherine doson who used to live on the land underneath the airport they don't bother the passengers or staff either it seems like they're just greeting arriving people now our list can't be complete without the UK's Manchester Airport this busy place serves around 28 million passengers a year year and also hosts a few spooky Phantoms passengers and staff reported seeing creepy figures and weird phenomena such as doors slamming on their own the airport archives from the 1970s revealed that some staff refused to show up at Terminal 3 alone after dark because they were too scared one night the local workers saw a figure in a pilot's hat entering a toilet no flights were scheduled to arrive or depart at that time so he decided to follow the mysterious gentleman but the bathroom was empty and the motion sensitive lights didn't show any reaction to the stranger some people reported meeting face to face with a phantom of a pilot in an old school uniform he usually wanders around Terminal 3 looking disoriented but unfortunately no one knows his backstory for sure another spooky resident of the airport is the night Watchman a phantom of a security guard from the 1960s a former airport employee once met this gentleman and tried to talk to him but the figure simply vanished Into Thin Air leaving the poor guy in shock after that he decided to leave his job for good I can understand

    The eerie atmosphere in each story was so well captured, and the thought of encountering something supernatural in a bustling airport is terrifying.
