Favorite hangouts (6)
I believe the answer is:
haunts
'favorite hangouts' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for haunts that I've seen before include "Inhabits as a ghost" , "Places where ghosts hang out?" , "Frequents or visits as a ghost" , "Frequently visits" , "Places frequented" .)
