List of reportedly haunted houses in the Philippines

### Metro Manila

* Malacañang Palace: The official residence and principal workplace of the President of the Philippines is considered by believers to be haunted by numerous ghosts such as former presidents, former presidential aides and attendants, those from pre-Hispanic and Spanish eras, as well as a black lady peering out towards the Pasig River from a window of the Mabini Hall late at night.

### Benguet

* Laperal White House: Also known as the Laperal Guesthouse, it was built by Roberto Laperal in the 1930s as a vacation home for his family. During World War II, the Japanese soldiers occupied the house and used it as a garrison, where they reportedly committed various atrocities, such as torturing and killing suspected spies working for the United States and their allies. Purchased in 2007 by one of the prominent Filipino-Chinese business magnate billionaires, Lucio Tan, it now serves as a museum of locally-made Filipino artworks based on bamboo and wood.

### Bulacan

* Bahay na Pula (or Ilusorio Mansion): A World War IIsite in San Ildefonso, which the Imperial Japanese Army used as their barracks and became a place where so-called local comfort women were forced to work. It was demolished in 2016 due to a feuding internal conflict between the current members of the Ilusorio family.

### Quezon

* **Herrera Mansion**: Also known as the **Old Stone House**, it is widely considered the oldest house of Tiaong, Quezon. It was designed by Tomás Mapua in 1920. Its original owners were Isidro and Juliana Herrera, but has been abandoned for many years ago and is now deteriorating due to decades of disuse. Believers claim of ghosts from the Japanese era.

### Cebu

* **Escario Pension House**: A four-storey building located on Escario Street in Cebu City. Believers claim that it is haunted; stories maintain that monthly a worker perished during its construction.
* **Villalon Mansion**: located at the Capitol Site in Cebu City, it was once the residence of an affluent Cebuano family. Believers now claim of paranormal activities in the now-off-limits site, including a white lady.
