When you think of hotels, you probably imagine comfort and relaxation. But these five hotels are far from that. They hold dark secrets, eerie whispers, and strange happenings that will send shivers down your spine. Enter at your own risk.
- The Stanley Hotel, Colorado
This notorious hotel inspired Stephen King’s The Shining—and for good reason. Guests report hearing ghostly laughter, piano music from empty rooms, and the eerie sight of children playing in the halls... when no children are staying there. Room 217, where King stayed, is particularly infamous for chilling encounters.
- The Crescent Hotel, Arkansas
Known as “America’s most haunted hotel,” the Crescent Hotel was once a hospital for cancer patients. Dr. Norman Baker, a charlatan, claimed he could cure cancer here—many patients never left alive. Now, their restless souls wander the halls, and visitors have spotted ghostly nurses and the chilling shadow of Dr. Baker himself.
- The Banff Springs Hotel, Canada
A luxury hotel with a deadly secret. The ghost of a bride who died on her wedding day is said to haunt the stairwell, her footsteps echoing in the dead of night. Guests also report sightings of bellhops who mysteriously vanish, leaving an air of cold dread behind.
- The Langham Hotel, London
This Victorian-era hotel has seen its share of strange deaths and paranormal activity. The ghost of a German prince, said to have thrown himself out of a window, haunts Room 333. Guests report seeing spectral figures, sudden temperature drops, and a suffocating sense of dread.
- Hotel Del Salto, Colombia
Once a glamorous retreat, now a decaying ruin. Perched on a cliffside overlooking a waterfall, this hotel is shrouded in mystery and tragedy. Visitors claim they feel a magnetic pull toward the edge, as if the spirits of those who died here are calling them to join in their fate.
Would you dare to stay in one of these haunted hotels? Or is their mystery too dark to uncover?
