How we check

Every hotel here has a named ghost story told by at least three independent sources: newspapers, books, local TV, ghost tour companies, history sites or the hotel itself. Booking sites and social media don't count. We check every quote on the page it came from, and we only print a room number when a source ties it to the story. Read how we check.
