From the October 19, 2014, Chicago Tribune by Jay Jones.
Even better than going to one of those made-up haunted houses that seem to be everywhere, why not actually go to sleep with the scaries in a real haunted hotel?
Here is a list of five supposedly haunted hotels. But. like the Eagles said in that song about the one in California, "You can check in, but you can never check out."
1. THE 1866 CRESCENT HOTEL & SPA (75 Prospect Avenue, Eureka Springs, Arkansas. They bill themselves as "America's Most Haunted Hotel." It was a Depression-era hospital for desperate cancer patients.
2. THE OTESAGA OF COOPERSTOWN (60 Lake Street, Cooperstown, N.Y.) isn't far from the former home of Louis C. Jones, author of "Things That Go Bump in the Night." At one time it was an all-girls school.
3. THE QUEEN MARY (1126 Queen's Highway, Long Beach, Ca.). The former ocean liner is now a floating hotel and attracts 1.5 million visitors a year. Many, many eerie things, one of which is said to be from a young crewman in the engine room who was crushed to death in 1966 by the closing of a watertight door,
4. 17HUNDRED90 INN (307 E. President Street, Savannah, Georgia). Resident ghost Anna is not mean, but mischievous.
5. THE STANLEY HOTEL ( 333 Wonderview Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado). Book a night in Room 217. Former housekeeper Elizabeth Wilson haunts it.
And, actually, there is a real HOTEL CALIFORNIA in Santa Monica, California.
