KOTA KINABALU: The reportedly haunted Agnes Keith House in Sandakan, already a popular tourist attraction under the State Museum, will be further developed under a new dark tourism concept.
This will provide thrillseekers with the opportunity to stay overnight at the former home of American author Agnes Newton Keith, who lived there with husband Harry Keith and their son George back in the British colonial days.
The house gained a reputation as being haunted due to mysterious incidents recorded in Keith’s own writings, particularly a female apparition.
The next owner and a housemaid also experienced such sightings, it was reported.

SANDAKAN: The Sabah government is looking into promoting a different kind of dark tourism to boost the state’s tourism industry, and a state minister warned that it is not for the faint-hearted.
Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin explained that this kind of tourism involved hauntings associated with historical places in the state.
“Right now, throughout the world, there is this kind of dark tourism especially for visitors and there are many who are enthusiastic about it.
“But it requires some level of courage, so those with a weak heart, better not (partake in such an activity),” he told reporters after visiting the Agnes Keith House here today.
