The ultimate ghostly travelers' guide

For ghost lovers who long for the adventure of the real thing, "Ghost Stalkers" Terry L. Smith and Mark Jean have created the first comprehensive travel guide to more than 200 haunted hotels and bed and breakfast inns in America. Many locations have never been found in any other ghost book. Covering all 50 states, every region of the country is featured, with profiles of the most active and attractive haunted bed and breakfast inns and hotels in each state. Includes facts about the history, accommodations, food, entertainment, and most importantly, the supernatural activity. Each hotel and inn is ranked from one to five ghosts based on the "haunted activity" level. Entries also include fascinating eyewitness interviews, haunted rooms, and behind-the-scenes stories of the resident ghosts at each inn and their startling, moving, and surprising encounters with visiting humans. Many of America’s most famous hotels and popular bed & breakfasts are highlighted. Perfect for planning an adventure-filled weekend getaway or just armchair reading. Includes black-and-white photographs and covers all 50 states. Along with places you can stay for the night, a bonus section includes a special listing of Ghost Tours across America. Walking and driving tours in 21 states are represented.

This review is from: Haunted Inns of America: Go and Know: National Directory of Haunted Hotels and Bed and Breakfast Inns (Paperback)

If you're interested in visiting inns, hotels and B&Bs with a reputation for being haunted, this is the best book to have in your travel bag. All 50 states are represented, and the authors have truly done their homework. 200 lodgings are included, each with the name of the inn, its street address, phone number, website address, room rates, payment types accepted, and a rating of one to five "ghosts" based on the level of ghostly activity. Each entry includes a history of the inn (and, in some cases, a photograph), a description of the accommodations, and reports of haunted activity at the inn, often based on the authors' personal experiences. The book is written to entertain as well as enlighten, and it's an easy and fun read. If you're planning a trip, be sure to check this book before you leave so you won't miss out on any haunted inns that may be at your destination!

This guide is well written. Some of the stories had new items that I hadn't read before in other books. I recommend this book to anyone interested in ghosts. It a great read even if you do plan on traveling to these places.

I've stayed in some of the Bed & Breakfasts mentioned in this book myself, and enjoyed reading about their past.
