Creaking stairs, strange sounds, a child's laugh in an empty room...these are some hallmarks of a haunted hotel. Thrilled readers will become supernatural investigators as they tour the spookiest addresses on the planet. Some of the hotels, far from being abandoned, are occupied by the living as well as perhaps by specters, poltergeists, and other spirits. The Queen Mary Hotel in California and the Ancient Ram Inn in England are two such paranormally populated places. Foreboding facts mingle with history, geography, and a beautiful design in this macabre volume.
