In the late 1800s Josephine and Jacques Begere were staying at the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans and left their son with the nanny. When they returned to the hotel the horse was startled and sent Jacques flying from the buggy, killing him instantly. Josephine died within a year. Guests have reported seeing the couple’s son Maurice roaming the halls of the 14th floor looking for his parents. 
In the early Thirties, a young woman is to be married in the Sainte Claire Hotel in San Jose, California. Her fiancé leaves her at the altar, and that night she hangs herself in the hotel’s basement. Today guests report hearing high-heeled footsteps against hardwood floors … even though the hotel is carpeted.
Every hotel has its ghosts. It’s just that some are more extroverted than others.
“It’s a common thing to hear about,” says Erik Torkells, author of “Secret Hotels”. “Hotels have these marvelous histories. Thousands of people have gone through them. You’re perpetually aware of that. And sometimes traveling, especially alone, can be unnerving.”

The best part of staying in a haunted hotel is that you can steal the towels and blame it on a ghost if you get caught! Happy Halloween.

I never thought of that, for some reason the hotel towels are so enticing. I wonder why that is?

If someone paid you a thousand dollars to stay at that haunted hotel for one night would you? Is kind of exciting and nerve wrecking if I received that offer!

David-Sure why not, as long as I wasn’t in the room alone I think I would be okay. I would make sure I selpt during the day though so I could stand watch through the night.

Excactly what I think Lina, if you say there is a ghost I want to see the ghost. The Coronado Hotel in San Diego Ca. says it is haunted with a ghost, and I believe them. Why? Because when I took a photo of the elevator attendant his photo was blurred almost see through, but all the other photos came out just fine. hmmmm.
