Would you stay the night in haunted hotel?

[HipChick]

I really want to have a good nights sleep..I am sensitive as is, and know I will hear things go bump in the night...

I have night stopover flight in LA, it breaks up a long flight - and my friend wants to spend the night at The Queen Mary..

[Scuba]

1. Sure, I'm not scared of things in which I don't believe.

[HipChick]

3. Oh I definitively believe..

I have seen too much not too...he thinks it will be romantic..

[frogmarch]

2. I'd stay alone in a so-called "haunted" hotel,

or with a fellow nonbeliever, but I wouldn't stay in one with someone who believes in ghosts.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

4. I have stayed in at least one haunted hotel that I know of

I am a believer in these sorts of things but it doesn't influence my choice of hotel. If you believe and you don't feel comfortable staying in a haunted hotel then don't do it

Nothing happened during my stay, BTW

[hunter]

5. I'd enthusiastically do that.

Far superior to living in a public park, looking so hungry people give you food, and pooping in a disgusting hole in the floor in France.

I thank my parents for my many childhood experiences...

They taught me to ignore the small stuff.

You live! Celebrate!

[Llewlladdwr]

6. You mean allegedly haunted? Certainly.

I've worked in several allegedly haunted buildings in my life. One was a computer facility in Hawaii that had been a dining facility prior to WW2. Thirty-seven persons were killed there during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Supposed to be haunted as hell but I never saw anything in the 8 years I worked there that convinced me.

[ZombieHorde]

7. Atomless humans are not a big concern of mine,

so sure, I would stay the night in a hotel people claimed was haunted.

[Quixote1818]

8. I stayed at the Ray Motel in Nucla, Colorado

It's supposed to be haunted. Nothing happened and I wasn't scared because I don't believe in ghosts.

[JCMach1]

9. Stayed in several... Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AR and St. Francis Inn St. Augustine, FL

also stayed in the Cassadega Hotel in Cassadega, FL

Never SAW ANYTHING!

Just some cool places to stay... mostly before the current trend of ghost mania.

[Kali]

10. heh, my youngest son and his metal band buddies were just there

playing some insane party on a boat music fest. the racket probably scared off any ghosts

[petronius]

12. I didn't know you could stay on the Queen Mary - sounds fun, and

not even that expensive. I'd go for it!

As for haunted, as long as the 'haunted' isn't staff or other people doing stupid stuff to make it seem haunted, I'd happily stay. But I'd avoid any manufactured 'paranormal' experience...

[hibbing]

24. me either

I am now going to have to look it up, especially if you said it is not that expensive. I would stay there for sure, and other places that are supposed to be hunted.

Peace

[HipChick]

31. I booked...got $90 for one night..

then we got a 11hr flight...too bad if I don't sleep

[orleans]

13. there was a show about this

i can't remember which one but i kinda recall that only a couple areas are haunted. i think the pool area & some hallway.

also, from what i remember, it was a child who drowned in the pool who hangs around and haunts. nothing malicious. and maybe the child's father?

if you go there ask the desk clerk where the areas are so you can be sure to avoid them if that's what you want to do.

[pinboy3niner]

14. Don't forget to dress appropriately

And have a great trip! (If you survive L.A. ... )

[Locut0s]

15. Yes, since I don't believe in ghosts etc. nt.

[dr.strangelove]

16. We look for haunted hotels to stay in

We are "ghost hunter" groupies (not the TV show, but the notion of observing ghosts is cool to us). We usually try to find a B&B or hotel that has good stories, we stay and talk to the locals about the stories and look for anything. We have seen some unusual things in our day, but no outright apparitions. We do it for kicks, but no I would not be scared to stay anywhere because of ghosts. Though there are plenty of places I would not stay because of people.

[Iggo]

17. Yep.

[Xyzse]

18. I already have.

At least, they advertised themselves as haunted.

[Avalux]

19. Yes - and I have!

The Menger Hotel - San Antonio. I stayed there for 2 nights and unfortunately, didn't hear or see anything. I wanted to, but it didn't happen.

20. Already done.

It was a pain in the ass, too.

21. i'd love to stay a night or two at the stanley

but it is way too rich for our blood.

[KamaAina]

22. Supposedly, I have

http://hotelmonteleone.com/historic-hotel/new-orleans-haunted-hotel/

but all the action is on the 14th floor. We were on the seventh or eighth.

Not a total loss by any means. The location just inside the French Quarter off Canal can't be beat, the room-service food is actually good (!), and the old-school bar is fun.

[Vashta Nerada]

23. Since there is no actual proof of ghosts, absolutely I would.

[warrprayer]

25. depends on the ghosts in the place.

some are just playful/mischievous, others are really not nice at all.

[Art_from_Ark]

26. I certainly wouldn't want to stay at this "hotel"

Alone, that is.

33. That place freaks me out.

Creepy does not begin to describe it - with or without ghosts. There is just something really eerie about old abandoned hospitals.

[yuiyoshida]

27. I had ...in Scotland....

They talked openly of the place being haunted, and that on some nights, you could hear the sound of a flute being played beautifully by a young woman who died there in the 16th Century. We never saw her and the bed I slept in was across the hall from her so called room. Nothing happened, and I slept rather well.


Edited to say: Oh by the way, this Hotel was about 20 miles from Loch Ness. I looked and looked, But Nessie was not out that day. Oh well, at least I got to see it, and Loch Lomond as well.

[Still Blue in PDX]

28. I would, but I'm not sensitive to such things.

I see the usual things in the corner of my eyes, but only one full-body apparition and I think that was a hypnagogic hallucination or a waking dream.

I wouldn't want to stay somewhere that had been regularly visited by ghost hunter types who might have pissed off the spirits or where the ghosts were terrorizing people.

So I guess my answer is, "it depends." The Queen Mary sounds like fun!

[alarimer]

29. Since ghosts or spirits are bullshit

I would.

They only make up those stories to attract business. Nothing wrong with that.

But there's not such thing as a "haunted" anything, since ghosts don't actually exist, only people's overactive imaginations.

[Chan790]

30. Yes.

I don't believe in any sort of occult phenomena. The house I grew up in is reportedly haunted, the site of a number of accidental deaths and murders in its 200-year history and the site of about a half-dozen fires over that period. In 15 years of living there, I never saw or heard anything.

I did use that history to get some good jumps out of my brothers though; Crash being harder to scare than D. I once scared D so badly that in his effort to flee he tried to long-vault a staircase, falling 15 feet to the first floor and face-planting into the wall. Crash I scared and he swung a wrought-iron fire-poker at my head...this is the problem with having a fan of Gothic horror as a prank victim; he knows things like ghosts are vulnerable to iron weapons. Unfortunately, so am I.

[tavernier]

32. I stayed at a b & b in Key West

Woke up late at night to use the bathroom and heard children giggling, laughing, playing. I asked the owner about it at breakfast because we had not seen any children. He told us that people often hear children laughing and playing even though none live nearby and no guests had children with them. I said (kidding) "Sounds like the house is haunted." He said, "It is. It was on the tv's 100 most haunted places in USA."

He told us it belonged to a sea captain who hated locked/closed doors. He said it was not uncommon to find doors wide open, even when they had been shut and locked.

[HeiressofBickworth]

34. I lived in one for a year

Back in the 1970's, my mother owned a motel and restaurant in Australia. Local legend was that it was haunted. Most assumed that because the main house and restaurant were built in the 1840's by convict labor, that the "ghost" must be a former prisoner. The actual story, told to my mother by the woman she bought the place from said that the "ghost" was in fact the owner's husband who shot himself in the restaurant some time in the 1950's. Not nearly as interesting as a ghost of a convict. Years after my mother sold the place, the restaurant had a web page which repeated the 1840's story.

[kentauros]

35. I have.

It was the old Flagship Hotel in Galveston (which has since been torn down.) I never noticed anything odd, but my past-wife did, such as knocking, and tapping on the glass doors. She didn't want to stay another night so we checked out next day
