User:Ghosthaunt

Yesil Kaya is a villa in the Turkish town of Kalkan,known to be haunted by a phantom of a previous resident in the villa, known as the ghosthaunt. The basement of the villa in particular is said to be haunted. There is a door leading to the storage sector of the building, which is where the ghost has most commonly sighted. The knowledge that we have about the ghost is limitted but people say it is a little girl that likes to bang on doors and tap on windows it has been said that at sometime in the night she likes to splash around in the pool. The girl, who is thought to be named Esra Alaab, was born in the early twentieth century, and was local to Kalkan. She came from a farming family, who depended on their livestock for income. However, the arrival of western tourists to the area, particularly the English, meant that they no longer had room for their flocks, and quickly became poverty stricken. It is thought that her family, who had no use for a daughter, abandoned her to try and save food for themselves, and Esra starved to death beneath the villa.In nineteen twelve, just a few years after her death, the villa mysteriously burnt down, killing five of the six members of the english family that were staying there at the time. The survivor reported seeing the face of a "painfully thin young girl" looking through the window at the blaze, laughing as they burnt.villa was then rebuilt, and named "Yesil Kaya" meaning "ghost's fire". Since then, many sightings of Esra have been reported, as well of numerous accounts of strange happenings in the villa.
