The Haunted Mansion of Bakirkoy

Istanbul · Turkiet · Haunted house

The old timber house on Incirli Street is said to vanish into thin air for a few seconds — then stand there again.

Wedged between modern apartment blocks on Incirli Street in Bakirkoy stands a decaying timber mansion that Istanbulites have called the vanishing house since the 1970s. According to urban legend the house dissolves into thin air for a few seconds at certain moments, only to reappear in its place, and passers-by at night have told of screams, lights switching on in empty rooms and doors opening by themselves. Stories of two siblings who died in the house in unclear circumstances are said to be the legend's origin. The mansion keeps crumbling — but the rumour refuses to die.
