Some people go out of their way to stay in haunted places. I don’t understand these people. I love creepy shit, I just don’t actually want to be scared by anything. I would definitely not hope to see the ghost of a 7-year-old that was murdered by her parents bouncing a ball down the hallway and laughing. Nope, not ever. These haunted hotels across America have some seriously terrifying histories.

Admiral Fell Inn (1770) Baltimore, Maryland
In the 1800’s, the hotel was an ‘unholy pit’ where traveling sailors would stay and spend their wages on booze and loose women. Throughout the decades, a number of men got sick from various diseases and died in the hotel. One man was even said to have shot himself in the face when he contracted a disease that would leave him blind.

Today, hotel guests often call the front desk to complain of a loud party in the next room. When an employee goes to check on that room, it’s empy. Ghost pirate party, anyone?

Supposedly, they reported seeing him on one of their visits, where he said, “Mommy, don’t cry. I’m fine.” Guests through the ages report seeing a little boy on the 14th floor.

Hotel patrons often ask the front desk who delivered this service they didn’t ask for, only to discover the man doesn’t exist.
