Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you believe in ghosts? In his years of travel writing and research, Dr. Robin Mead has found that people are almost equally divided between believers in ghosts and those who think ghost stories are just that--entertaining stories. In Haunted Hotels in America, you'll find a state-by-state guide to the lodgings that cheerfully admit to having an intangible guest or two. Like the spirits themselves, the stories are extraordinarily varied. Some are sad. Some are puzzling. A few are even funny. As you uncover these incredible mysteries, you'll also learn more about: Iconic ghosts who've established quite frightening reputations that span over a century The chilling hauntings that have inspired popular documentaries and Hollywood blockbusters Each hotel's storied history and its recent hauntings From the mischievous Victorian children that linger in the hallways of the Gingerbread Mansion Inn in Ferndale, California to "Old Seth" Bullock, the first sheriff of Deadwood, South Dakota, who still keeps a watchful eye on the Bullock Hotel that bears his name, Haunted Hotels in America is chock full of frights and delights. Ready to plan your next paranormal adventure? Let Haunted Hotels in America be your guide along the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packed with chilling stories, GHOSTLY ENCOUNTERS is filled with practical information for anyone who dares to spend a night in a haunted house. Frances Kermeen bought the Myrtles Plantation of St. Francisville, LA, with the dream of turning the historic site into a cozy inn. But she was shocked to discover that the property was haunted. Instead of losing customers, however, business exploded. Since then, Kermeen has traveled to over 150 haunted inns and hotels throughout the U.S. and collected some of the creepiest ghost stories ever told-and they're all true. Readers will enter the Oatman Hotel, where the distinct outline of a man, once murdered in the room, remains imprinted on the sheets-no matter how many times the maids change them. And in the garden of the Myrtles Plantation, two little girls, who were poisoned there in 1824, are often seen playing.

Staff and visitors of the Tubac Golf Resort & Spa, a Historic Hotels of American Member, have disclosed their experiences of why the resort may be one of the most haunted sites in southern Arizona. You will hear about cowboys who refuse to leave the ranch and about the spirit of a murdered boy that has been heard and seen playing inside the Hacienda. A real historic site, the Otero ranch land was part of a Spanish land grant issued in 1789.
