We’ve gathered up seven of the spookiest sites, all of which have several reports of ghostly presences.<\/p>\n

This hotel is considered to be one of the most haunted hotels in New York. When the hotel opened, it was known to be the most tallest hotel\u00a0in New York. \u00a0It’s not known\u00a0for any particular ghost, but rather the hotel’s “essence.” \u00a0When Photographer Rebecca Cohen\u00a0took pictures of the site, she told the New York Times\u00a0\u201cI was not photographing empty rooms, I was taking portraits.\u201d \u00a0The Victorian-styled area is currently under renovation.<\/p>\n

Not all ghost are scary! \u00a0Located in the Valley, Phoenix’s Hermosa Inn is considered a hot spot for paranormal activity. \u00a0Some sitings include a maid who closes doors, a lady in a pink gown who walks over the bridge by the pool and a ghost who pushes candles out of their candle owners, to name a few.<\/p>\n

On the website, The Hermosa Inn’s Managing Director, Michael Gildersleeve, said \u201call of the spirits that guests and staff have encountered appear to be friendly, so many guests will often visit in hopes of having an experience of their own.\u201d<\/p>\n
