Shamakhi is the administrative centre of Shamakhi District in Azerbaijan and appears in multiple historical travel narratives from the 18th and 19th centuries. The supplied sources confirm the city's existence, population context, and that it was visited and described by European travellers (e.g., Gmelin's Travels through Northern Persia, and Keppel's Personal Narrative). The specific toponym provided by the user, 'Yeddi Gumbez' (translated as 'Seven Tombs'), is not attested or described in the supplied excerpts, and no construction dates, ownership history, or documentary details for any tomb complex of that name are present in the provided material. The supplied research notes contain no primary or secondary-source descriptions of hauntings, apparitions, sounds, poltergeist activity, named spirits, or investigative findings connected to a Seven Tombs site in Shamakhi. As such, any connection between Shamakhi and a haunted 'Yeddi Gumbez / Seven Tombs' remains unsubstantiated within the provided sources. Cultural notes in the sources highlight Shamakhi's regional cultural importance (for example, traditional dance and possible association with Soumak rugs) and its appearance in travel literature, but do not link those cultural features to supernatural lore about tombs.
