I am always looking for information about
a supposedly very haunted Hotels or B&B
to stay at since I travel a lot for Scifi
conventions. Each year I attend Dragon Con
In Atlanta and usually share my haunted
hotel stories with those in attendance while
sipping a tankard Klingon ale or my personal
recipe for Romulon Rum. Many tell tales
of Haunted Motels across the country and
how they checked in and checked out real
fast because it was haunted! Haunted hotels
I beleive gives you a chance to get up close
and personal with a few real ghosts.
Ghost stories are great but what do you
do when the room your staying in is haunted
by a ghost that wants you out!
The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado,
which inspired Steven King's 'The Shining,'
has a few ghosts of its own. I stayed there
during TAPS And CM Punks visited last Halloween.
Ghost Hunters Live Scared Up Big Ratings
For SCI FI Channel Ghost Hunters Live (October
31/November 1, 11pm-5am), a never-before-attempted,
live, 6-hour Ghost Hunters investigation
delivered impressive Halloween-night ghost
sightings. Sci Fi orders fourth 'Ghost Hunters'
season, extends third season
The Sci Fi Channel has announced that it
has extended Ghost Hunters' third season
and renewed the reality show for a fourth
season.
I got really spooked and wanted leave,
so did a fw others but their was no place
to go. America's Most Haunted Places to
me are hotels, motels and B&B's.. I
always wonder how many people check in and
don't check out because they die in the
bed or room I'm sleeping in.
October 31, 2007 Sci Fi will broadcast
its "second annual" Ghost Hunters
Live Halloween night special. Similar to
last fall's first Ghost Hunters Live special
-- the 2007 live special will allow home
viewers once again to follow a live investigation
and report their own paranormal sightings
via a "live interactive panic button."
I just pray CM Punk is there again if So
I will be too!
The most famous haunted hotel I stayed
in during a convention in Hollywood is,
without a doubt, the Hollywood Roosevelt.
And yes I stayed there and investigated
with my daughters two friends that just
had to leave at the first sounds they heard
at 2:am.

Swedish beauty queen after Mrs. Whistler's
husband died. Needing help at the Whistler's
mansion Mrs. Whistler hired (at the suggestion
of the beauty queen ) the beauty queen's
sister and husband (from Sweden) not knowing
that the beauty queen was in love with the
sister's husband. A scandal ensued and today
three ghosts wander around the Whistler
mansion. The beauty queen, her sister and
husband are buried together in an old cemetery
across the street. Odd things are constantly
happening at the inn. Windows unexpectantly
fall from their casings. Water appears in
strange places at strange times. Guests
have asked to move to other rooms because
of strange, uncanny impressions. (Rms #1,
#5, #7 and #12). Also, the innkeeper reports
having a dream of one of the ghosts, a black
lady who may have been the main (devoted)
servant at the Whistler Estate. They feel

Fond Du Lac, WI

Employees have reported Optional strange
occurences in the ballroom. The chandelier
inexplicably shakes and sways. One employee
who heard a noise late one night saw a couple
dancing. They disappeared, and he turned
and left as fast as he could. The staff's
code name for the ghosts who are responsible
for the strange happenings at the hotel
is "Walter," after the original
owner of the hotel.
Some hotels like to keep these legends
under wraps, while others, like the Queen
Mary, use it as a marketing tool by offering
ghost tours and special packages. But if
you like the idea of possibly sharing your
room with an unpaying, not to mention transparent,
ghost, er, guest, these haunted hotels will
be sure to raise your spirits.
