Ever been to a 'haunted' hotel?

Question

Did you see things or did you just feel it?

I am thinking specifically of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It was so creepy, I left.
Here is a website about it:

Answer 1

Yep. It's not a hotel anymore because of the ghosts, but when I went it was a restaurant.

My friend and I were doing a report on the supernatural in 8th grade and we stopped by the hotel because it was a local thing and, of course, we knew the stories.
No one was allowed upstairs because it was solely a restaurant, but the owner gave us a tour uptairs because he was such a nice fellow.
Anyway, he showed us one of the rooms-- motioned, really. He didn't turn any of the lights on and so motioned to a pitch-dark room and said that was where a lady had hung herself.
I had brought my camera incase an opportunity like this would come, and so I tried to take a picture of the room.
My camera kept malfunctioning or something. It just wouldn't take a picture! Finally, though, it worked, and we moved on.

When I got my pictures back, I had forgotten all about the room, until I saw one picture at the back of the pile. I knew what it was immediately.

Answer 2

I have no idea if ghosts and things like that exist but i have had an experience at a haunted hotel. I was in Savannah Georgia and there was this one hotel considered to be very haunted, i of course thought even if there was a rumor of it being haunted it was. My friend didn't think anything of it and fell asleep instantly at night. I on the other hand was up for about 4 hours in a cold sweat just looking around. The exact room above was the "haunted" one, at about midnight i heard really heavy footsteps coming from above and they started to quicken. They went into a full run and then i heard the piercing scream of a woman and a door slam. I was absolutley terrified but i told myself that it was just roudy tennants. The next day i mentenioned it to the doorman and he laughed when i told him which room, becuase there was construction going on the third floor that the room was involved in, there was nobody staying upstairs.

I spend alot of time in New Orleans, and I can tell you first hand that such things DO exist. I am very skeptical by nature, but some things happened to me when I was in a friends apartment that i cannot explain. I was housesitting for her for 2 weeks, and I did not stay but 3 days. let me give you some background on the place (of which I did not know until I looked it up on the internet a week later). Her apartment building was originally a mansion, built in the late 1800's. The original family was named Lalaurie. They had slaves, as everyone did in those days, but the wife whose name was Delphine Lalaurie, performed horrible medical experiments on her slaves, and kept some chained to walls, and others in dog crates. Anyway, there was a fire in the house, and it when the slaves were discovered, the family fled and disappeared. Since then, there have been 2 mass graves that were uncovered in the floor during renovations. When the slave died during one of these experiments, which 99% of the time they did, she just dumped the bodies in these holes under the floor to avoid being caught. OK, so here I am in her apartment, which I later found out was the area where the slaves had the experiments performed on them. The first day and night nothing really unusual. I heard lots of talking, and footsteps and stuff, but I thought it was just coming from the other apartments. The scond day, I put my stuff in the bathroom, arranged just the way I like it (yes, I am anal that way). I left and went out for the day. When I came back, and went to shower and get ready to go out that evening, everything that i had carefully placed on the bathroom vanity was on the floor. Everything. I thought, that is weird, kinda freaked me out, but I thought there had to be an explanation. so I put everything back and showered and left. When I got up the next morning, everything again was on the floor. I'm starting to get really pissed, now thinking someone is playing a joke. I put everything back again, and as i grabbed the bathroom door handle to leave the bathroom, something jerked the door closed. I thought someone was playing a really bad joke. About this time, i smelled what smelled like urine and perfume mixed together, a really weird smell. It went away, and I went on about my business. I tried repeatedly to get online, but the connection just wouldn't go through. I left and went out to dinner, came back and went to bed. About 3:00 that morning, I felt someone pulling at my ankles. I sat bolt upright in bed and turned on the light, but noone was there. I noticed that smell again, and I also noticed that it was cold. Very cold. And this was the middle of august in New Orleans. Even at night it is 80 degrees. I don't know what happened to me in that house, but I'll never stay in it alone again. I asked my friend (the girl that owns the apartment) if she ever had anything weird happen to her. She said all the time. I don't know how she stays there. Anyway, hope this answers your question.

No not yet. But I am planning a trip to the Stanley hotel in Estes park Colorado. it is where Stephen king wrote the shining and experienced strange happenings. It is supposedly haunted. You should watch ghost hunters on sci fi. they go to haunted locations to debunk them but often get a lot of good evidence and proof.

Answer 5

No, but i live in a 'haunted house'. It had 8 ghosts in it. One very old lady and her children and husband. The would turn on our boombox outside, scare the hell out of our dogs, mess with the blinds, and walk around. The only ones i saw we're the children.
THe little girl was scary she would watch me sleep and keep me up by laughing. Good thing we got the house blessed.

I've been to the Hotel Del Coronado in California. Supposedly one of the rooms is haunted and every year they have a contest so that the winner can stay in the room on Halloween. One of my friends won one year and he didn't notice anything but said he didn't sleep any!

Answer 8

No, just a haunted house. Their house was built on the hillside. Their kithcen was on top and when it burned no one was able to get outside. The whole family died.

When we went there to have fun, my brother saw a person peeking at the window where there is no place to stand because its on the hill. We saw it was on the hillside the next day.
