Phantom footsteps pace the stairs at the Myrtles Plantation. A seductive spirit tugs on the sheets at the Copper Queen. Ghost children whisper and giggle at the Kehoe House. Journey into the mysterious world of haunted hotels, where uninvited guests roam the halls, supernatural sounds ring throughout the rooms, and chills run along the spines of those who dare to check in for the night.

Join Jamie Davis Whitmer, author of Haunted Asylums, Prisons, and Sana- toriums, as she explores some of the most haunted hotels across the United States. From the Jerome Grand Hotel in Arizona to the Palmer House in Minnesota, each hotel is discussed in great detail, covering everything from the building’s history and legends to first-hand accounts of spooky sounds and smells, ghost sightings, EVP sessions, and more. You’ll also find photos, travel information, and everything else you need to plan your own visit to these iconic hotels.

      In this combination of travel guide and paranormal investigation, Whitmer (Haunted Asylums, Prisons, and Sanatoriums) seeks out 10 hotels associated with hauntings and ghost stories, in order to investigate the veracity of these claims, make contact with the resident spirits where possible, and offer up her experiences for the interested traveler. As she checks into spirit-infested locations such as the Stanley Hotel in Colorado (inspiration for Stephen King’s The Shining), the ocean liner-turned-hotel Queen Mary, and Arizona’s Jerome Grand Hotel, Whitmer brings a balanced approach to her research, taking the resident ghost tours where provided before conducting her own examinations. She interviews the locals to get the gist of the history and the legends, thus giving the reader an overview of what to expect with each site, be it crying children or the supposed spirit of novelist Sinclair Lewis. “I am relating my true paranormal experiences to you,” she claims, explaining that while she has never been chased by monsters or evil dolls, “there were real things that happened, nonetheless. Some of them cannot be explained away.” Though readers must decide just how much to believe in Whitmer’s accounts of ghostly contact, everyone can enjoy the more straightforward travelogue aspects of the book, which provide handy contact information for the hotels and potential itineraries as part of its overview. Perhaps it’ll help you plan your next trip.
