This ghostly room rearranging is taking place as part of the Fortnite Fortnitemares event, though we're not entirely sure why the spirit realm has decided to manifest itself mainly in furniture items. You'll need to explore the various residences dotted around the Fortnite island to discover where the haunting is taking place as these apparitions tend to appear at random, but read on for all the pointers you need so you can successfully destroy haunted household furniture in Fortnite.
Where to find Fortnite haunted household furniture
As a point of clarification, Fortnite haunted household furniture is general household furniture that has become haunted, and is not specific furniture of the type found in a haunted house such as the ones situated in Grim Gables or Willow's Haunt – though you do have an increased chance of finding what you seek there, so we've marked those locations on the map above. In general though, you're not looking for traditionally spooky items of furniture such as sideboards covered in candles, but regular pieces like chests of drawers and side tables that are now possessed.
This Fortnite haunted household furniture can spawn randomly in any residential property around the island, so you'll need to keep looking in different houses until you come across the required items, which can be identified as they have an ethereal glow and are floating several inches off the ground. It's then up to you if you want to smash the ghostly furnishing with your harvesting tool, shoot it with a gun, or blow it up with explosives – it will count towards your target of seven items in total for this Fortnitemares quest, however you choose to destroy haunted household furniture in Fortnite.
