Part of BudgetTraveler's adventure in hotels | Tags: hotels, san diego budget hotels

After I wrote my recent post about ghost towns, I started thinking a little bit about ghosts. There are a lot of places in the country that are supposed to be haunted. There are also a lot of people who choose to visit these haunted locations. In fact, a lot of people like to stay at hotels that are supposed to be haunted.

I did some research and discovered the top ten haunted hotels according to Haunted America. They are as follows:

Hotel Provincial in New Orleans. New Orleans is a destination that many people believe is filled with ghostly spirits. This isn’t the only hotel in the city that is supposedly haunted.
Le Pavilion in New Orleans. That’s right; this creepy city has more than one haunted hotel on the list!
Hotel Del Coronado near San Diego. This one sounds spooky. I’ll stick to my favorite San Diego budget hotels instead, thanks!
Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. This hotel was creepy enough to inspire Stephen King to write The Shining.
Heathman Hotel in Portland. I don’t usually think of Portland as a place where ghosts might be present but apparently I might be wrong.
Carolina Inn in North Carolina. All of Chapel Hill is said to be haunted so why should this hotel there be any exception?
Sagamore Hotel, NY. This seems like a beautiful historic hotel but if it’s true that there’s a little boy’s ghost haunting the place then I want no part of visiting it.
Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR. I can’t think of too many reasons I’d visit Eureka Springs. A haunted hotel isn’t one of them.
Ramada Plaza Hotel in Fond du Lac, WI. A long time ago, gangsters used underground tunnels to conduct illegal business. One of those tunnels ended in the basement of this hotel. The gangsters may be gone but spirits supposedly linger on.
Queen Mary Hotel in Long Beach, CA. This is probably one of the most famous haunted hotels. You can tour it if you’re interested.
