Castle Stuart
Located in beautiful Inverness, Scotland (right at the end of the Paddington line via rail, a straight ride through from London), Castle Stuart is a 17th century "Tower House," complete with two towers, turrets and spiral stairwells--and of course, resident ghosts. The castle is also riddled with secret rooms, stairs, hallways, and priest-holes, adding to the mysterious air. Ghost hunters are welcomed to come brave a night or two in the haunted bedrooms. The hotel is also available for weddings in a picturesque Great Hall, for those looking to share their nuptials with a host of ethereal beings!

Farnsworth House
This restaurant and inn is located in one of the most haunted places in the US—Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the site of a brutal battle during the Civil War. The loss of life at Gettysburg was tremendous, and the entire area is steeped in heavy energy, and riddled with restless ghosts. The Farnsworth House, a bed & breakfast at the heart of Gettysburg, is a lovely inn—I’ve seen it—but it offers more than just a picturesque place to lay your head. Several of the rooms are haunted, six are cited as such on their web site. Besides the hotel itself boasting spiritual activity, you’ll find no shortage of ghostly phenomena throughout the town. Sightings have been reported on the battlefield, at the nearby Gettysburg College, and a ghost tour by candlelight at night shows you to all of the hotspots for paranormal activity. Gettysburg’s ghosts were profiled on Unsolved Mysteries.

Hotel del Coronado
San Diego’s (California) historic Hotel del Coronado is a gorgeous resort located directly on the beach. It also is home to San Diego’s "most romantic restaurant." But the Hotel del Coronado wasn’t a romantic getaway for poor Kate Morgan. She checked in to the hotel in 1892, and never checked out. She checked in alone, despondent and broken hearted after a quarrel with her husband. Five days later she was found dead on the beach, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to her head. Guests and paranormal researches have attested to the fact that her spirit still haunts the room in which she stayed on that tragic trip.
