For a tiny island nation, Guam has a fair bit of haunted spots. So this Halloween, if you are looking for some spooky fun, here is a list of places in and around Guam to catch some ghostly sightings and apparitions. Be warned, this is not a post for the faint of heart.

Perhaps the most popular ‘haunted site’ in Guam is the Old Spanish Bridge in Agat where a pair of young lovers once had their trysts. She was the beautiful daughter of a Spanish official and he was a handsome young Chamorro boy. Naturally, the father did not want her to marry a native and when he heard of their plans to get married in secret, he had the young man killed. Distraught, the maiden plunged to her death from this bridge. Her spirit haunts the bridge today, crying for her lost love.

Another tragic tale is that of a Spanish official and his Chammorro wife who lived in Maina in the 1600s. Their love soon turned sour and the husband sent the wife to the mountains during a raging storm, to fetch fresh water from the mountain streams. Needless to say, she never returned. On new moon nights in Maina, the lady is sometimes sighted in a bridal gown, with her silver hair flying around her face and red rimmed, sad eyes.

The sightings are usually more frequent when there is a storm approaching and the Chamorro believe that she warns her people of impending danger. They call her the White Lady. The White Lady is not a very territorial ghost because sometimes she is seen at Two Lovers Point, Harmon Heights and the Fonte River too.

The US Naval Base is no exception, especially at the store that stands where there once stood a hospital and a morgue. Footsteps, the voices of children and noises from an unoccupied toilet stall are the special chills that this place has to offer.

If you were to stop by the Government House in Agana Heights, heavy double doors open and close by themselves and the hallways echo with the footsteps of someone unseen. Meanwhile, two WW II soldiers still march by the Leo Palace Hotel in Talofofo from midnight to 4 am. Apparently, if you look at them in the rear view mirror, one of them appears headless.

You can take in a tour of all the haunted spots in Guam and when you have had your fill of Halloween chills, head back straight to Days Inn, the most popular Guam Hotel to be ‘unspooked’. Our friendly staff can cheer you up or if you are in the mood for more, entertain you with more local ghost stories.
