Crescent Hotel, Eureka Springs<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

Said to be one of the most haunted hotels in the U.S., Crescent Hotel in Arkansas has a long history of reported sightings. It was first built in 1886, serving as various facilities, such as a resort, a conservatory for young women,\u00a0even a \u201ccancer hospital\u201d of a 1920\u2019s fraud physician. Because of its history, it\u2019s not a surprise that there are so many guests reporting sightings of ghosts such as Michael,\u00a0a stonemason from the building\u2019s original construction, and Theodora, one of the hospital\u2019s ill-fated cancer patients.<\/p>\n

And even if you don\u2019t find yourself bumping into a ghost at night, the hotel also offers its own nightly ghost tours so you\u2019ll know more about the story of the building. It\u2019s never a disappointment to book Crescent Hotel.<\/p>\n

The Pfister Hotel, Milwaukee<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

A 5-star hotel that is not only a historical landmark but a strong center of ghost sightings? Count us in! Built in Milwaukee in 1893, this hotel normally hosts baseball and basketball teams that are visiting, among many other guests, and many of these players have reported very strange happenings. From knocking in the hallway and on doors (even when nobody was there) and pounding on the headboard, even a\u00a0report of an iPod that began vibrating wildly on its own and disembodied voices, the Pfister Hotel is a must-visit if you\u2019re in Milwaukee. And if you don\u2019t stay for the ghosts, the interior design of this hotel is a sight to be seen. Truly unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Omni Parker House, Boston<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ever in Boston, perhaps this will be a good recommendation. A\u00a0historic hotel in downtown Boston that has been home to\u00a0plenty of ghost sightings\u00a0throughout the years, the Omni Parker House has even received Charles Dickens once, occupying the third floor. Well, ghost sightings\u00a0include those of Harvey Parker (who built the hotel), and mysterious sounds and occurrences. Mysteriously, elevators are often sent to the third floor for no reason.\u00a0In one particular room on the 10th floor, guests often complain about a specific noise that still leaves everyone baffled. A rocking chair. Funny thing though\u2026 the hotel has no rocking chairs.<\/p>\n

Alconquin Hotel, New York City<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

If you want to spend the night on a regular lunch spot of the Round Table,\u00a0an elite group of literati, then this hotel is the right choice for you. Dorothy Parker, a writer, poet, and critic was part of this group and was often on this hotel as well.\u00a0When renovations were made to the hotel\u2019s attic,\u00a0unexplained noises were reported\u00a0coming from the empty space, and a photograph of Parker even flew off the wall, shattering. Near Times Square, it\u2019s a great place to spend your Fall getaway, to get a spook and visit the city of New York in great style.<\/p>\n

Toftaholm Herrg\u00e5rd, Sweden<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

Another five-star hotel sitting\u00a0alongside Lake Vid\u00f6stern in Lagan with a history of ghost sightings and definitely a location you want to spend your night at and take a stroll along the lake and green fields. This property, however, wasn\u2019t always a hotel and started out as the private manor\u00a0owned by a wealthy Baron. The hotel is now supposedly haunted by a young man that killed himself in what is now room 324\u00a0after the Baron refused to let his daughter marry the boy.\u00a0Guests have reportedly seen the boy roaming around the building, and windows are frequently closed unexpectedly.<\/p>\n

\"haunted<\/a><\/p>\n

Dauphine Orleans Hotel, New Orleans<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/h4>\n

New Orleans is widely known for its haunted locations, or wouldn\u2019t this be a state of witchcraft and haunting history. Although the Dauphine New Orleans is now a luxury hotel, ghost sightings are still very frequent. From Civil War soldiers to courtesans who worked in the Red-Light District, you never know who you might run into. The perfect hotel to explore this city and all it has to offer\u2026 including its ghosts!<\/p>\n

Dalhousie Castle, Scotland<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

Built in the 13th century, it\u2019s no surprise that this castle in Scotland is the perfect choice if you\u2019re looking to find a ghost. Its troubled past causes guests nowadays to report dozens of ghosts roaming the property, most notably Sir Alexander Ramsay. Allegedly, he was starved to death by\u00a0William Douglas and has wandered the grounds ever since. You might also run into the Grey Lady, late at night, the ghost of Lady Catherine that seems to roam the castle\u2019s dungeon. If this doesn\u2019t excite you, the luxury of the castle, its restaurant, and open fields most likely will.<\/p>\n

The Myrtles Plantation, St. Francisville<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

A former Louisiana plantation dating back 1796 and listed\u00a0on the National Historic Register is now a Bread & Breakfast with a restaurant and a tour of its history. However, it was also named \u201cThe South\u2019s Spookiest House<\/em>\u201d by National Geographic, as various photographs taken on the property support the idea of the reported apparitions, most notably a ghost known as \u201cChloe\u201d who is said to be the spirit of an enslaved woman who was a household servant in the home in the 1800\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The Hotel Roosevelt, Los Angeles<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

Home to the first\u00a0Academy Awards ceremony, Hotel Roosevelt sits in the middle of Hollywood and received a huge amount of celebrities in its luxurious rooms. Two of the regular guests were\u00a0Montgomery Clift and Marilyn Monroe, who are said to haunt the hotel to this day.\u00a0There is also an unexplained \u201ccold spot\u201d in the ballroom believed to be tied to the paranormal. If you\u2019re not sold on staying at a hotel that such icons also stayed the night, perhaps the luxurious hallways, ballroom and rooms may help you with this choice.<\/p>\n

The Russel Hotel, Sydney<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

All the way in Sydney, Australia, The Russel Hotel is conveniently placed near the biggest tourist attractions, giving this hotel a lot more credibility for a top choice to spend the night at. However, most guests are drawn to this hotel for an eerie and spooky experience.\u00a0A sailor is said to have never checked out of room 8, and numerous guests have encountered his presence, and the unexplained sound of someone walking over creaky floors can frequently be heard. For a Halloween break, catching a ghost in a hotel in Sydney may just be the perfect choice.<\/p>\n

The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

The Taj Mahal Palace serves as one of Mumbai\u2019s most beautiful hotels, but also one of the most haunted in India.\u00a0The\u00a0building\u2019s architect was apparently deeply upset\u00a0that the hotel was built facing the wrong direction, and jumped to his death from the fifth floor. His spirit is said to haunt the halls, according to the guests,\u00a0and guests have encountered him in the hallways and have heard him walking on the roof. However, his legacy lives on in the form of the hotel that is now one of the most beautiful of the city.<\/p>\n

Hotel del Coronado, Coronado<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

With a stunning view of the sea, this hotel in San Diego is as luxurious as it can get. However, it\u2019s also known\u00a0for the\u00a0haunting by a woman named Kate Morgan. On Thanksgiving Day in 1892, she checked into the third-floor guest room (which you can still stay in) and waited for her lover to meet her there. After five days of waiting, she took her own life. Guests report a pale figure in a black lace dress roaming around the hotel, along with mysterious odors, sounds, moving objects and TVs in the room she stayed in working by itself. Spooky, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\"haunted<\/a><\/p>\n

Queen Mary Hotel, Long Beach<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

The Queen Mary is probably one of the world\u2019s most known haunted locations. A retired ship that has now become a hotel,\u00a0is so celebrated as a haunted destination that it even\u00a0offers haunted tours\u00a0of its most paranormal hotspots.\u00a0Among the spirits spotted are a \u201clady in white,\u201d a sailor who died in the ship\u2019s engine room and children who drowned in the ship\u2019s pool. It\u2019s an eerie but beautiful and historic location that you definitely should spend the night at, at least once in your lifetime.<\/p>\n

Logan Inn, New Hope<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

The Pennsylvania\u00a0Logan Inn\u00a0dates back to before the beginning of the Revolutionary War, and is considered one of the most haunted places in America with at least eight ghosts roaming its rooms and hallways. Most of the reported ghost sightings take place in room six, where guests have allegedly seen dark figures behind them in the bathroom mirror, mist moving throughout the room, and even small children appearing in the guest rooms. One particular ghost, a giggling little girl, reportedly likes to watch as women comb their hair in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Cal-Neva, Lake Tahoe<\/h4>\n

\"15<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Cal-Neva, built in 1926 by a San Francisco businessman and a\u00a0hotspot for the wealthy in the 1930\u2019s.\u00a0In 1960,\u00a0Frank Sinatra bought the lodge\u00a0and built secret tunnels between the bungalows behind the hotel and the showroom. These tunnels served for celebrities to pass through without being spotted by the paparazzi.\u00a0Sinatra, Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe all vacationed there, and it\u2019s where Monroe spent her last weekend alive, before passing in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The ghosts of both Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra\u00a0have been reported\u00a0in the resort\u2019s swimming pool and in the cabins overlooking Lake Tahoe. If this doesn\u2019t make you visit this lodge, what will?<\/p>\n
