So switch things up this Halloween season. From charming bed-and-breakfasts to lavish high-rise resorts, there's a world of paranormal activity to experience all across the country, along with lots of good stories about how it came to be. Most newer accommodations haven’t had time to acquire ghosts (yet), so renting a room in one of these eerie hotels means you’ll be surrounded by history, both creepy and quaint.

If you’re feeling brave, you can pay them a visit… just don’t expect a good night’s sleep.

Whatever you call these long-term guests-ghosts, spirits, or specters-they linger in the rooms, hallways, and grounds of the most haunted hotels in every state, eternally restless.
