In Port Angeles, Washington, there is an antique house built in the 1890s, refurbished by a man named Kevin. Despite its age, the house has been renovated a few times. That said, the listing still claims the house is “occupied by a mischievous ghost.”
So far, no one in Airbnb’s reviews section has explained their own experiences with this particular ghost, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Any house over a century old has had its fair share of history. What wrongdoing could this household have behind closed doors?
