The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park, Colorado When the Stanley Hotel opened in 1909, tourists have been drawn to Estes Park by its grand Georgian architecture and legendary whisky bar. Yet, the Stanley rose to new heights of fame after serving as the model for Stephen King's fictitious Overlook Hotel in The Shining. Aside from that unsettling association, the hotel has also been linked to numerous additional ghost sightings and creepy piano music. The Stanley Hotel smartly capitalises on its notoriety by providing nightly ghost tours and psychic readings from the on-site Madame Vera.

Pittock Mansion, Portland, Oregon Pioneers from Oregon Henry and Georgiana Pittock inspired the Pittock Mansion's creative design and construction when they decided to create their dream home in 1909, while they were in their golden years. Regrettably, Georgiana and Henry were only able to enjoy their property for a short time before passing suddenly in 1918 and 1919, respectively. Georgiana's favourite flower, roses, filled a room without any flowers, and a childhood painting of Henry moved around the house by itself have both been attributed to the building, which is now a popular tourist attraction. Death was obviously not a sufficient excuse for the Pittocks to leave their cherished house.

Mizpah Hotel, Tonopah, Nevada One of Nevada's first luxury hotels, the Mizpah Hotel debuted in 1907 and underwent a complete restoration in 2011. It had solid granite walls and Victorian-style furnishings. But, the opulent hotel has a past it unabashedly embraces that is as blood-red as its garish decor. According to legend, a woman passed away on the fifth floor and her soul never left the structure. According to reports, the "Lady in Red" now announces her arrival by whispering into men's ears and placing pearls from her shattered necklace on visitors' pillows. By allowing guests to stay in the Lady in Red suite and offering the Red Lady Bloody Mary at the hotel restaurant, the Mizpah upholds (or capitalises on) her fame.

Hotel Monte Vista, Flagstaff, Arizona A long-term resident who frequently hung raw meat from the chandelier in Room 210 and two women who were thrown from the third story and now try to suffocate male guests while they sleep are just a few of the paranormal visitors who have overstayed their welcome at Flagstaff's Hotel Monte Vista. According to reports, there is apparently a baby whose unsettling cries have caused staff employees to rush upstairs from the basement. (Actor John Wayne even experienced something supernatural here once.)

Dock Street Theatre, Charleston, South Carolina This location in downtown Charleston is one of the oldest theatres in America and has seen a lot of turmoil and drama through the years. The Planters Inn was constructed there after the original theatre was destroyed by fire; it underwent a theatre conversion in the 1930s. Nettie Dickerson, who, according to mythology, was hit by lightning while standing on the hotel's balcony, is the most outlandish ghost in this place. It has been seen that her shadow, wearing a crimson gown, may be seen gliding down the theater's second level. The famous actor Junius Brutus Booth, who frequented the inn and was the father of Lincoln murderer John Wilkes, was also present in an unearthly capacity. Jennifer Scherer

The Impish Ghost For years, my neighbour Diane and I had a jovial poltergeist that we named Billy. This is how Reddit user abbys alibi starts their true ghost story.

When Diane couldn't find a gallon of milk, she once called Billy to see if he had been around. Finally, it was discovered outside on her back stairs. Furthermore, sugar, oh sugar! My sugar bowl was empty every morning.

Actual Ghost Tales That Will Make You Chill ( Part - 1)
The best ghost and horror stories have an uncanny ability to make you feel real, believable, and absolutely terrified. They almost promise that you will spend at least one night (if not more) tossing and turning, listening for creaking floors and the sound of ghostly moaning. Of course, that is the paradox inherent in ghost stories. Your ability to sleep at night will worsen the better they are. This is true even if you're a die-hard supernatural believer—you know, the kind of person who has learned the history of Halloween, isn't frightened to look at some spooky pictures, is familiar with the origins of Halloween monsters, and spends Friday the thirteenth reading Ouija board tales.
