Dare to check in to history’s most haunted accommodations? Join us as we unlock the doors to spine-chilling hotels where some guests have never checked out. From Minnesota’s local haunts to internationally infamous establishments, we’re exploring the spectral residents that make these destinations bucket list stops for paranormal enthusiasts.
We begin close to home with Minnesota’s hidden gems – the Victorian-style Afton House Inn where a woman in period dress still roams, the historic St. James Hotel in Red Wing with its ghostly figures, and Rush City’s Grant House Hotel where unexplained footsteps and sudden temperature drops have convinced many it’s among the state’s most haunted locations.
Our journey then takes us to the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, whose corridors and rooms inspired Stephen King’s “The Shining.” This legendary establishment boasts everything from self-playing pianos to full-body apparitions, becoming a mecca for ghost hunters and curiosity seekers alike. In California, we explore the Queen Mary’s maritime mysteries and the dark history of the Cecil Hotel (now Stay on Main), infamous for tragic deaths and its connection to notorious figures.
Crossing oceans, we visit France’s Château de Brossac, haunted by a woman murdered by her husband, and Canada’s Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, where a ghostly bride still wanders in her wedding gown. Meanwhile, Chicago’s Congress Plaza Hotel harbors the spirit of a woman who leapt from its 12th floor among other restless souls.
Whether you’re planning your next supernatural adventure or simply curious about what lurks in these historic hallways, join us for a fascinating tour of accommodations where the paranormal is part of the amenities. Which haunted hotel would you dare to spend the night in? Let us know in the comments!
