A lot of them still standing and in business. Tucson's most famous hotel has to be the Hotel Congress which owes much of its fame to it's association to John Dillinger, and has a few resident "ghosts".

Read about it here:

The famous Goldfield Hotel in Nevada is suppose to be very haunted to the point that whenever construction starts to renovate, the workers have to stop.

Don Cesar hotel in FL. is said to be haunted, my grandma actually says that she was going through files one day and when she came up from the fileing cabinet, she had seen a nurse starring at her. I havent looked into it but she told her boss and he said it served as a hospital during i think the civil war but idk for sure what war it was.

Another great topic! We're on a roll today.

My son had an interest in highwaymen when he was 8 and for his birthday we took him to London for the day sightseeing and then stopped at Oxford at the Holt Hotel, where his favourite highwayman, Claude DuVal, lived and now reputedly haunts. It was a coaching Inn that opened in the 1400's.

The sign outside is of Claude and the gallows.

I asked for him to show himself whislt I took a photo into thin air (my husband and son were looking like I'd lost the plot happy.gif ) and I did get an orb when I took the photo (not that I believe this is his spirit, I'm just sayin that's all). The mural in the background is of Claude on his horse, getting ready to rob someone.

Eastern Massachusetts has a couple of cool ones. In Fall River (near Rhode Island) they have turned Lizzie Borden's house into a bed and breakfast. In Salem (North of Boston), the Hawthorne is said to have a ghost or two.

Probably the best known haunted hotel in Arizona is the Copper Queen in the old mining town of Bisbee built in 1902. There is even a logbook for guests who have "experiences" to record such. Go south to the border town of Douglas and there is the Gadsden Hotel which is suppose to be haunted by a headless ghost. The lobby is one of the nicest I've ever been in.

After moving from birmingham to wales, I got a job as an evening porter at Gregynog Hall, a 90 bed residential conference centre, belonging to the university of wales.
There had been a Gregynog hall on this site, back to the 14th century, but the main building was demolished in the late 1800's, due to the fact it was so rat infested and uninhabitable. The new (sic) building has been used as a hospital during WW1, and is now purely residential for the Uni's use.
Acouple of incidents, while I was there, were:
The Hall Director came out of his offices (situated in a seperate building) and walked into the Hall itself. He had to walk past the old Edwardian laundry room, and he saw an elderly lady, with her hair tied up in a bun, staring at him quite sternly through the window. He went to investigate as it is closed off to residents, and found no one in there.

The cleaners went into the rooms to do their usual morning cleanup, and in one, found it full of mattresses and bedding. On questioning the course that were resident (female journalists), one of them sheepishly told them that one of the girls woke in the night to find someone standing next to the bed, then this 'apparition' whispered in her ear. Well the ensuing screaming from her woke everyone else in the other rooms on that floor, and they only way they would settle was to all sleep in the same room.
