I love scary movies, haunted houses and anything eerie. This is a guide to 8 of the best known haunted hotels in the country.....road trip anyone?
Ivy House Bed and Breakfast
Built in 1916, this Inn in Wyoming is said to be haunted by Mrs. White, the previous owner, and her 2 Siamese cats! Look for them to be sleeping at the end of your bed while purring the night away and look for her face popping up in mirrors throughout the hotel. She is said to oppose drinking and smoking, so if you want to steer clear of her, don’t be a bad boy!
While enjoying one of their 2 hour tours, guests are provided with real paranormal hunting equipment so you can record your haunted findings, in black light and all. This Resort in Arkansas is said to have meandering ghosts who ride elevators and trapse through the property. Oh, hot springs near by as well.

Holly Hotel/Restaurant
This former hotel turned restaurant in Michigan holds frequent seances for the guests, who claim to hear laughter, smell cigar smoke(from the previous owner, Mr. Hurst) and whiffs of perfume.
In Minnessota, you can stay at this psychic run B & B and invite the ghosts to visit you? WHAH? Original owners (do these guys ever leave?) Old Gus and Caroline Thayer are said to leave pennies in the rooms of the guests. Find a penny, pick it up!
They even host mystery dinners, weddings and ghost hunts!
Thayer’s
Buxton Inn
Originally a Stage Coach stop built in 1812, this old Inn, with several rooms, is said to have ghosts galore and even the ghost of a cat who doesn’t want to leave. Guests say they hear footsteps, doors opening and closing and feel sudden drops in temperature. I see dead people.
Lizzie Borden took an axe and gace her mother forty whacks. At this bed and breakfast located in Massachsetts, guests are said to hear faint crying sounds of young Lizzie Borden and see the the impression of faces that were laying on their pillow cases. Another well known ghost here is the housekeeper, still dressed in her Victorian garb. The Borden family tombstones are still in the nearby cemetary.
With the natural creek running through the dining room, you may find yourself eerily dining with the reamins of a young girl in a blue and white dresss who is said to have drowned in the creek. Check please? As the neice of the original owners, the young girl, Sarah, is said to be just one of 49 ghosts experts claim live in this Lodge.

Mount Washington Hotel
This enormous, grand and elegant hotel supposedly has the original owner, Princess Caroline, still roaming the land. Built in 1902, Caroline remarried a prince who frequented the oppulent hotel and is said to still be there today, writing ont he walls and turning the lights on and off.
