Elaine's Victorian Inn and Dinner Theater
This New Jersey inn dates back to the 1860s and is brimming with paranormal activity -specifically a little ghost girl named Emily, who reportedly plays pranks like moving shoes and furniture around to spook guests. The Inn's marketing manager issues a warning to all visitors, however, claiming, "Some people get spooked and just decide they've had enough." A weekend ghost hunting excursion includes staying the night in private rooms along with a professional hunt to see spirits.

Once a spot on the Underground Railroad, this Ohio home was once a passage for justifiably angry slaves trying to make their escape. Labeled the most haunted place in all of Ohio, an 8-hour overnight tour gives visitors the opportunity to experience some seriously scary stuff.

If you haven't seen the film The Shining, immediately shut off your computer and go watch it!

Stephen King himself stayed in Room 217 while writing the novel, and Hotel Director Leslie Hoy claims that years later while Jim Carrey was filming Dumb and Dumber, he checked in and out of the room in under two hours, quickly speeding out of the hotel to the nearest Holiday Inn without a word. Another supposedly haunted room is 401, said to be the place where former housekeeper Mrs. Wilson likes to play tricks on innocent guests.
This beautiful Ozarks hotel, seemingly innocent in daylight appearance, was the location of one of the only full-bodied apparitions caught on thermograph imaging while local ghost hunters toured the famous morgue in the basement.

Now, the ghosts of the morgue's inhabitants walk the halls. Check out the video of the captured image below.
