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.

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?
