Nowadays it’s dangerous for Nato allies to send their commercial vessels into the Persian Gulf. The dangers of these vessels being seized by Iran or Iraq has increased dramatically. My uncle Jose Causing was a Merchant Marine in the early 60s and as a Merchant Marine traveled along the Indian Ocean. His ship also traveled along the coastlines of Yemen, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran. His ship would also travel through the Strait of Hormuz, the Gulf of Oman and into the open waters of the Arabian Sea. Jose mentioned when his vessel came close to Bahrain, he could see the town of Galali from the vessel.

My uncle Jose, and my mother Rosemarie, were both very interested in tales of the supernatural. At an early age, Jose and my mother experienced a very frightening night at a relative’s home in Mexico. On that one particular night, they were harassed by a mischievous spirit. The spirit was banging on the bedroom door, moved their beds, shook their beds and when they finally fell asleep, the spirit moved Jose into his sister’s bed and moved my mother into Jose’s bed. In the morning, they told their father and the relative that lived in this house. The relative explained to them that the house was old, and it was haunted. The relative said the spirit was not harmful, and was known to be playful in a mischievous way. Later on in my mother’s life, she discovered she was a psychic medium and had other paranormal experiences. As for Jose, he was just curious. Very curious.

Jose said one of his crew mates named Rouya Al-Kuwari aka Ruby, an American citizen, who has relatives in Bahrain, knows of three haunted locations in Bahrain. Those 3 haunted locations are listed below.

AlFateh Grand Mosque
AlFateh Grand Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world, encompassing 6,500 square meters and having the capacity to accommodate over 7,000 worshippers at a time. The mosque was built by the late Sheikh Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifa in 1987, and was named after Ahmed Al Fateh, the founder of Bahrain. As of 2006, Al-Fateh became the site of the National Library of Bahrain. Locals have heard disembodied voices in the library and at times have seen books move about by themselves. The mosque is the largest place of worship in Bahrain. When night falls, sometimes disembodied chanting can be heard. The huge dome built on top of the Al-Fateh Mosque is constructed entirely of fiberglass. The dome is currently the world’s largest fiberglass dome. There have been reports of shadows moving about inside the mosque.

Bahrain Fort
Bahrain Fort is also known as Qal’at al-Bahrain – Ancient Harbour and Capital of Dilmun. Qal’at al-Bahrain is an artificial mound created by many successive layers of human occupation. Locals in this area have felt phantom tapping on their shoulders, as if someone is trying to get their attention. This area is very haunted, the human presence has been around since 2300 BC to the 16th century AD. Present time, the human presence are archaeologists, tourists and locals visiting the site. About 25% of the site has been excavated, revealing structures of different types. Those types are residential, public, commercial, religious and military. Over the centuries, it has been a trading post. On the top of the mound, there is the impressive Portuguese fort. Tourists and locals have heard disembodied marching. They have also heard phantom command yells late at night. This historic site was once the capital of the Dilmun, one of the most important ancient civilizations of the region. It contains the richest remains inventoried of this civilization, which was discovered via written Sumerian sources.

Bab Al Bahrain
Bab Al Bahrain aka The Gateway of Bahrain is a historical building located in the Customs Square on the central business district of Manama. It defines the main entrance to the Manama Souq. At this location more phantom marching is heard. Some tourists and locals have heard whispering in their ears. The site was opened in 1949. The site was designed by the British adviser to the emir, Charles Belgrave. Interesting fact: Bab Al Bahrain once stood on the Manama coastline. Due to extensive land reclamation in the latter half of the 20th century, the structure is now about 4 miles inland. The square is considered to be the region’s first formal public space. As a public place, there seems to be a lot of residual energy, because there have been reports of sounds of people talking and there is no one around. Some tourists and locals have heard disembodied voices arguing. Apparitions have been seen floating above the ground, only to disappear.

Is it Safe to Travel to Bahrain in these Present Times?
Before you go on any ghost hunting trips to Bahrain, check with the travel advisory board. The travel advisory says exercise increased caution in Bahrain due to terrorism. Terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Bahrain. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning. Targets may include tourist sites, transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, government facilities and the 3 locations mentioned in this article. Bahrain has a lot of history and the locations I discuss in this article are beautiful places. Safety comes first, before any type of ghost hunting in Bahrain.
