The Haunting

Kayaköy, historically recorded as Karmylessos (ancient), Lebessos (shortened), and Leivissi/Levissi (Modern Greek), is described in the provided sources as a mostly abandoned village (mahalle) situated approximately 8 kilometres south of Fethiye in Muğla Province. The supplied Wikipedia excerpt notes a final evacuation of its Greek townspeople in 1923 and lists a 2022 population of 975 while still describing the site as largely abandoned. Field audio recordings included in the sources (Orange Beak Project entries) were made on location and capture ordinary sounds such as lambs, birds, footsteps and cars, indicating on‑the‑ground access and contemporary visitation by recordists. A Wikidata entry in the supplied materials appears to refer to a different administrative entity named Kayaköy in Ödemiş, İzmir; this discrepancy is noted in the sources and the description follows the Wikipedia and archival material that associate this Kayaköy with Fethiye. Reported phenomena: the supplied source set contains no eyewitness reports, named spirits, or documented paranormal incidents. The only phenomena documented in the provided materials are natural ambient sounds recorded in situ (lambs, birds, footsteps, vehicles). No investigative theories or folkloric spirit identities are present in the provided excerpts. The site's historical significance in the sources centers on its long toponymic history and the 1923 evacuation reference, which underpin its cultural and heritage interest rather than any documented supernatural claims.
