Aisha Kandisha
This jinn's worship is so great that you're not even allowed to mention her name. True, the majority of Moroccans will not utter the name aloud. This is one jinn that every Moroccan knows and, to some extent, fears, among all the beliefs and hauntings in Morocco. I'm not sure where to begin because there are so many stories about this mythology! She is claimed to reside underwater, and while people think she lives on land, she is said to live underwater. She's either a youthful topless lady... or an elderly hag. She comes to men and marries them, only to possess them and cause them harm by requiring them to wear only specific colors or stop washing. It's not a good idea to pour boiling water down a drain since it will enrage her (and yes, people do believe this I am constantly being told not to do this). Every story seems to have one element in common: when she appears it is accompanied by the sound of dragging chains. Another story is that she was a resistance fighter who helped fight among Moroccan men throughout the wars and takeovers that dot the past.
Casablanca
There are bound to be claims of haunted locations in a metropolis as large as Casablanca. I'm not sure what the name of the club is, but there is one on Casablanca's beach. According to legend, there was a battle over twenty years ago in which someone was killed, and the building has been haunted ever since. With oceanfront property in such high demand, it's astonishing that no one has bought the building. The Morocco Mall, Africa's second-largest shopping center, debuted in Casablanca in 2011 and instantly sparked suspicions that it was haunted. There is a mausoleum nearby, and others have said that a cemetery was bulldozed to make way for the mall, resulting in the presence of ghosts and other strange occurrences.
Agadir
In 1960, a massive earthquake devastated Agadir, demolishing much of the city. Several people died as a result. There are two royal palaces in Agadir. The first is in the city, while the second is on the outskirts. Following the earthquake, the latter was built. Because access to palaces is controlled, outsiders will never be able to view either. There are conflicting tales as to which of the two is haunted.
Meknes Kara Prison
Moulay Ismail, undoubtedly one of Morocco's cruelest and most oppressive kings, established this prison in the 18th century. The prison has no doors, is fully underground, and no one has ever been released despite the fact that hundreds (thousands?) of individuals have been imprisoned inside. From the top of the prison, there are a number of apertures. People were put into the prison from the holes, and food was poured into the prison.
Ifrane's Ben Smim Hospital
This abandoned hospital, located between Azrou and Ifrane, has been closed for some years. It was originally constructed by the French as a tuberculosis sanatorium. The 400-bed facility, which was erected on a 40-acre site in 1948, accepted patients from all over the world. The Moroccan government took over the administration in 1965, and it was closed down in 1975. People who have come to see the abandoned site report having had stones thrown at them (although no one else is there) among other eerie feelings and happenings.
Sefrou
Sefrou is a town in northern Morocco, close to Fez. It was a junction between Jews and Muslims, and it was one of Morocco's villages with a large Jewish population. This was true even during Moroccan independence, when Jews made about a third of the population. After Moroccan independence in the 1960s and 1970s, the majority of Morocco's Jews emigrated to Israel. As was the case in a large number of Moroccan cities families sold their houses for very cheap and left behind a lot of their belongings.
Chefchaouen's old prison
The old prison, which is located in Chefchaouen's kasbah, is said to be haunted. The shackles are still visible in the walls and can be seen as a tourist attraction today. The prison is part of an ethnographic museum, and there are 11 towers to climb for city views before entering the prison corridors.
