Legendary haunted hotels
Haunted houses and hotels hold some of the scariest stories, making them the perfect place to visit around Halloween. Pop Sugar, a website devoted to news and blogs on pop culture, lists several legendary scary buildings, including the following two:
- The Stanley Hotel: Located in Colorado, this hotel was the setting for the epic novel and movie, "The Shining." Do not let its place in fiction fool you though, as many stories are believed as facts by many. In one story, a woman died in the early 1900s, but has been seen in the past 10 years walking around the building.
- Knickerbocker Hotel: This 130-year-old hotel in Pennsylvania has countless spooky stories under its belt. One of the creepiest is an incident in which a woman and her grandchild witnessed an apparition in the bathroom, and were then told they were the only two people in the hotel.
