Arg-e Bam (Bam Citadel)

Arg-e Bam (commonly called Bam Citadel) is a large adobe fortress complex in the city of Bam, Kerman province, southeastern Iran. The site is described in the supplied material as the largest adobe building in the world and the citadel dominates the ruins of the larger fortress, leading the whole complex to be commonly referred to as the Bam Citadel. The provided source excerpts do not include construction dates, detailed historical events, earthquake dates, casualty figures, restoration history, visitor access information, or any documented folkloric material about spirits. Regarding paranormal claims: although the research brief for this entry referenced "legends of restless spirits after earthquakes," the supplied excerpts (primarily a Wikipedia description and unrelated archival bibliographic fragments) contain no explicit reports of apparitions, auditory phenomena, poltergeist activity, or named eyewitness accounts tied to Arg-e Bam. No named supernatural entities or local explanatory theories are present in the provided materials. Therefore this entry records that no paranormal phenomena are reported in the supplied sources and treats any association of restless-spirits lore as unverified in this dataset. Further ethnographic, folkloric, or journalistic sources (not included in the supplied packet) would be required to substantiate any local legends or post-earthquake supernatural claims.
