    Atauloma Girls School

    AfaoAmerican Samoa1900

    Perched on a jungle-clad hillside overlooking Afao village on Tutuila Island, the abandoned Atauloma Girls School is widely considered the most intensely haunted structure in American Samoa. Built in 1900 by the London Missionary Society, this former boarding school and nursing seminary was abandoned in 1970 and gradually consumed by tropical vegetation. Renowned for intense supernatural activity—including shadow figures, phantom choral singing, disembodied cries, and aggressive supernatural phenomena—the site is heavily associated with local spirit lore (aitu) and attracted international paranormal investigation when featured on Ghost Hunters International.

    Massacre Bay (A'asu)

Twelve Frenchmen—including second-in-command Paul Antoine Fleuriot de Langle—and dozens of Samoans perished in the violent engagement. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the remote cove and stone monument grounds are infamous for intense supernatural encounters, phantom French shouting, ghostly musket fire, and restless ancestral spirits (aitu).

    Sadie Thompson Inn (Sadie's by the Sea / Max Haleck Building)

    Pago PagoAmerican Samoa1910s

    Located along the scenic harbor road in Malaloa, Pago Pago, the historic Sadie Thompson Inn is world-famous as the 1916 lodging house where celebrated British author W. Somerset Maugham resided during a six-week quarantine. His observations of fellow guest Miss Sadie Thompson—a colorful woman fleeing a red-light district—inspired Maugham's iconic short story 'Rain' (and subsequent Hollywood films). Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is famed for phantom perfume scents, footsteps in upstairs hallways, and the fleeting apparition of Sadie Thompson herself.
