What’s that smell?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]When someone is frightened, their sweat contains a chemical that has a distinct scent to it. This peculiar odor of doom can be unconsciously picked up by others and could trigger fear in their brains as well. So blame your skittish friends for that uneasy feeling you might have, because you’re the brave one, right? Wait, what was that noise…?[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]

#2 The Stanley Hotel
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Estes Park, CO
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Built in 1909 but famous for the reservation of Stephen King and his wife in 1974. After falling asleep in room 217, the author awoke drenched in sweat from a terrifying nightmare of a young boy being chased down the hotel’s empty corridors by a predator. (Sound familiar?) Author King’s one night stay inspired the book (and later the film starring Jack Nicholson) The Shining.

Are you superstitious?
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]Next time you’re in an elevator try going to the 13th floor. More than likely, it won’t even be listed. We’ve got the tea on the number 13 and why there isn’t a 13th floor in most hotels. By removing the 13th floor, many hotel owners are simply making sure they don’t alienate any superstitious clients. So basically, they just don’t want any bad juju. Sounds a bit drastic, but according to Otis elevators, 85% of elevator panels omit the number 13.

#4 Queen Anne Hotel
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
San Francisco, CA
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Built in 1890, the hotel is a beautiful historic Victorian Mansion and is elegantly eerie. It was originally a girls’ boarding school. The paranormal activity is allegedly in room 410–the suite of the headmistress of the former finishing school, Mary Lake. The ghost of Miss Lake does not confine herself to her room though. She has also been reported to unpack traveler’s bags, wander the hotel’s hallways, look at herself in the mirror, and perhaps play you a song on the piano in the lobby.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_single_image image=”2422″ img_size=”500X400″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” border_color=”orange” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
#5 Bourbon Orleans Hotel
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
New Orleans, LA
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Built in 1815, Bourbon Orleans was not a hotel at all, but the Theatre De D’Orleans. The theatre was supposed to rival even the most extraordinary opera houses. However, one year after its grand opening the theatre met an ugly fate in a round of arson. Visitors say there is no better place to experience the vitality of the French Quarter or mystery of its illustrious past than Bourbon Orleans. Stories suggest that the ghosts who roam the halls and rooms of this hotel lived during many different eras. The most popular ghost sightings are:
The Confederate Soldier – A solider wounded from the war allegedly died while being cared for on property, and is said to roam the third and sixth floor.
Children and Nuns – Yellow Fever struck New Orleans during the time the hotel was a convent girls school, medical ward and orphanage. Guests say you can hear children giggling and playing throughout the halls.
Orleans Ballroom – Home to the grandest social events of the nineteenth century, is also home to one lonely ghost dancer, seen dancing under the crystal chandelier in the ballroom.
Try your luck…if you’re brave enough.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_single_image image=”2423″ img_size=”500X400″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” border_color=”orange” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
#6 The Story Inn
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Nashville, IN
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Built in 1851 and rebuilt in 1915, this lodging facility has over 100 years of history completely intact. This creepy gem is Indiana’s oldest country inn and offers 13 guest rooms and a restaurant. The Story Inn is well-known for the infamous hauntings of the “Blue Lady.” In life, she was the wife of Dr. George Story, a medical doctor who assisted a clan of timber harvesters who helped build the town of Story, Indiana. The “Blue Lady” is known for leaving a distinct scent of cherry tobacco wafting throughout the inn’s hallways. She has also been seen hovering over the inn’s restaurant or leaving blue things behind.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_single_image image=”2418″ img_size=”500X400″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” border_color=”orange” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#4a0d66″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
#7 Crescent Hotel and Spa
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Eureka Springs, AR
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Built in 1886, the Crescent Hotel and Spa is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in America. After many years of guests reporting supernatural activity, the owners Marty and Elise Roenigk hired two certified mediums to do a reading of the building. Both mediums agreed that the hotel showed signs of being a portal, “to the other side”. According to legend, Norman G. Baker bought this building in 1937. Baker then treated cancer patients despite having no professional training, and as a result, many people died. The “portal” is located where the morgue of that hospital used to be.
