1. 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa, Eureka Springs, Arkansas – Average Nightly Rate: $91 – $214

2. Hotel Queen Mary, Long Beach, California – Average Nightly Rate: $89 – $179

3. Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado – Average Nightly Rate: $142 – $291
One TripAdvisor traveler wrote, “Had a lot of activity from the playful spirits there. The closet door opened and closed several times, the TV turned itself off and on, the covers were pulled off of us in the night and there was audible whispering in the room.”

4. Copper Queen Hotel, Bisbee, Arizona – Average Nightly Rate: $75 – $150
One TripAdvisor traveler noted, “If you want to try finding a ghost ask for an ‘active’ room! We had an active room and let’s just say I couldn’t quite explain all that I saw and heard!”

5. Marshall House, Savannah, Georgia – Average Nightly Rate: $112 – $236
One TripAdvisor traveler stated, “…Heard someone running in the room above me. Upon telling the staff we were told the entire floor above us was empty. So if you’re looking for a ghostly experience, definitely consider this hotel.”

8. Bullock Hotel, Deadwood, South Dakota – Average Nightly Rate: $100
One TripAdvisor traveler commented, “Heard tell of the ghost tour, but didn’t need to go on it as we could feel Seth Bullock’s presence in the hotel already!”

9. Place D’Armes Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana – Average Nightly Rate: $119 – $480
One TripAdvisor traveler noted, “…My husband and daughter said they heard children laughing and playing in the next room and the ceiling fan came on all by itself. There was no next room, it was a brick wall outside!”

According to one TripAdvisor traveler, “I brought my K2 Meter (it’s believed the meter can pick up the ‘magnetic fields’ of spirits). I actually got some ‘hits’ on it while we were having breakfast in our room.”
