00:00 Now, imagine the scene. You arrive at the airport in Hawaii a bit earlier and decide

00:06 to chill in the waiting area. Suddenly, you notice an anxious blonde lady in a white dress

00:12 standing at a gate. She's looking out the window on the runway, waiting for someone's

00:17 arrival. You reach into your bag for some chocolate to comfort her. But it's too late.

00:24 She vanished into thin air. Congratulations! You just met the Lady in Waiting, a resident

00:33 phantom of the Honolulu International Airport. Like any phantom, she has a grim backstory.

00:40 The lady once fell in love with a man and he promised to marry her. But then the happy

00:45 groom flew abroad and never returned to his bride. His betrayal broke her heart and she

00:51 took her own life. But her phantom is still attached to the airport, and she waits for

00:57 her man to return just like the famous Japanese dog Hachiko waited for its master.

01:03 Over the years, the local police have collected numerous complaints about the lady phantom

01:08 wandering around the gates and other restricted areas of the airport. Also, this entity likes

01:15 to hang out in public bathrooms, just like Moaning Myrtle from the iconic fantasy novel.

01:22 Some airport employees reported seeing paper dolls unfolding on their own while cleaning

01:26 empty bathrooms in the middle of the night. In some cases, toilet seats slam shut and

01:33 toilets flush by themselves. However, it's unlikely to surprise anyone since many public

01:39 bathrooms have automatic flushing. Unfortunately, this urban legend doesn't clarify

01:46 the way to release the heartbroken phantom. But at least this story is a good reminder

01:52 to think twice before you make any promises. And speaking of spooky ladies in white, the

01:58 Kempegowda International Airport in India also has one. A pilot once noticed a weird

02:04 woman in a white sari on the runway. He called the airport workers asking to help her, but

02:10 she disappeared by the time the staff arrived at the spot.

02:15 Numerous witnesses have seen the same phantom in other parts of the airport. The lady haunted

02:20 people in the cargo department, on escalators, and even in the parking lot. According to

02:28 the media, nobody knows her background or the reason why she's here. Maybe her luggage

02:34 was lost and she's just trying to get it back.

02:38 Today, Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok is one of the busiest airports in the world.

02:45 But it doesn't stop this transport hub from also holding the title of the most haunted

02:50 place in Thailand. Although imagination tends to draw something

02:54 old and dusty when we hear the word "haunted," Suvarnabhumi is relatively new. It started

03:00 operating in 2006, but it turned out that the land under the airport used to be an ancient

03:06 burial site. Work crews had to drain a marshland called Cobra Swamp to prepare the land plot

03:13 for building. And mysterious events began to occur from

03:17 the very first days of work. Wailing, creepy screams, and even classic music came out of

03:23 nowhere. Some builders refused to continue construction because they were too scared

03:28 of evil forces. The locals believed that they had angered the entities who were sleeping

03:33 beneath the new airport. That's why 99 Thai monks were invited to perform

03:39 a ritual. Together, they chanted for 9 weeks to clear all the bad vibes.

03:45 The ceremony was almost finished, but suddenly a random man interrupted the monks and claimed

03:50 to be possessed by one of the local entities. His message was pretty clear. "You should

03:55 build a proper spirit house to guarantee the smooth operation of the airport."

04:01 Having said that, he fainted. Later, the guy woke up feeling normal and conscious.

04:06 Well, the airport authorities decided to fulfill the mysterious request. Spirit houses are

04:12 part of Thai traditional beliefs. Landowners build nice tiny shrines to establish friendships

04:19 with invisible entities who might inhabit their plots of land.

04:23 So if you ever find yourself at the Bangkok airport, don't forget to check out this

04:28 artifact, as well as the Churning of the Ocean, the remarkable sculptures that depict the

04:33 ancient Hindu myth. The story is basically about light and dark deities working together

04:39 to get amrita, the beverage of immortality. Here's another reason why you should think

04:46 twice before building a transport hub on questionable land.

04:51 Welcome to Denver International Airport, reportedly one of the most famous haunted airports in

04:56 the world. It stands on a special isolated plot of land that was considered sacred by

05:02 its former residents, according to the media. People reported multiple problems and strange

05:08 incidents going on at the airport from the very beginning of construction. Today this

05:13 place attracts numerous mystery hunters, and the number of urban legends around the airport

05:17 multiplies. Some investigate the hidden meaning behind the local murals and gargoyles. Others

05:26 believe that the giant cobalt-colored horse statue in front of the airport is haunted.

05:33 That's because the sculpture, known as "Blucifer," took the life of its creator, Luis Jimenez.

05:38 In 2006, a piece came loose and hit the sculptor while he was finishing his work.

05:45 The airport's enormous layout and remote location inspire some people to speculate

05:50 that there's a secret bunker under it. In fact, it's bigger than some real cities like

05:56 San Francisco, for example. But the spokesmen of the airport debunked that myth, saying

06:02 that this transport hub must support at least 50 million travelers a year, and thus it needs

06:08 to be huge.

06:11 Our next destination may inspire you to revisit the Langoliers, created by the legendary horror

06:17 writer Stephen King. Although the thriller took place at King's hometown airport in

06:22 Bangor, Maine, we'll be talking about the historic Chandler Airport located in Fresno,

06:29 California. This place has many abnormal stories to tell, including reports of people going

06:34 through the old terminal wall. Some passengers heard disembodied voices in the airport restaurant,

06:41 while others heard a suspicious noise while cleaning up. They went to see what was going

06:49 on and witnessed a plate moving across the counter and then falling onto the floor. Perhaps

06:55 the invisible customer was just upset by overly high food prices. Hey, it could happen.

07:01 Just like Honolulu Airport, Chandler has a resident phantom. It's an old man in the

07:06 control tower. Thankfully, this guy doesn't bother anybody. According to witnesses, he's

07:11 just staring at the field as if he's watching invisible aircraft take off and land. Meanwhile,

07:18 the urban legend behind Savannah Hilton Head International Airport is spooky and romantic

07:24 at the same time. It says the following, "If you land right after sundown, you'll get

07:30 the chance to see two phantoms along the north side of the runway."

07:35 Now the legend says these are the phantoms of Richard and Catherine Dotson, who used

07:40 to live on the land underneath the airport. They don't bother the passengers or staff

07:45 either. It seems like they're just greeting arriving people. Now, our list can't be complete

07:52 without the UK's Manchester Airport. This busy place serves around 28 million passengers

07:59 a year and also hosts a few spooky phantoms. Passengers and staff reported seeing creepy

08:06 figures and weird phenomena, such as doors slamming on their own. The airport archives

08:12 from the 1970s revealed that some staff refused to show up at Terminal 3 alone after dark

08:18 because they were too scared. One night, the local workers saw a figure in a pilot's hat

08:25 entering a toilet. No flights were scheduled to arrive or depart at that time, so he decided

08:30 to follow the mysterious gentleman. But the bathroom was empty, and the motion-sensitive

08:37 lights didn't show any reaction to the stranger. Some people reported meeting face-to-face

08:43 with a phantom of a pilot in an old-school uniform. He usually wanders around Terminal

08:48 3 looking disoriented. But unfortunately, no one knows his backstory for sure.

08:55 Another spooky resident of the airport is the Night Watchman, a phantom of a security

09:00 guard from the 1960s. A former airport employee once met this gentleman and tried to talk

09:07 to him, but the figure simply vanished into thin air, leaving the poor guy in shock. After

09:15 that, he decided to leave his job for good. I can understand that.
