Ghost Hunters' Travel tips

Places to go ghost hunting on your vacation or holiday

by the Hollow Hill staff ©2005

When you travel, it's always fun to find great, haunted sites. Here are our best suggestions; we're adding more regularly.

Boston, MA

Stay at the Omni Parker House where many ghosts haunt the halls and one private dining room.

Take a walk around the ancient (and haunted) cemetery next to the the Boylston Street MBTA station.

If you take a ghost tour--and we recommend one if you're going to explore Boston Common at night--try Boston Spirits Walking Tour. (See our ghost tour reviews.)

New Orleans, LA

Stay at the opulent Hotel Monteleone or the historic Omni Royal Orleans. Both are profoundly haunted in happy ways.

"Breakfast at Brennan's" is a long-time tradition in the French Quarter. Enjoy Bananas Foster where they were invented, and ask about the restaurant's many ghosts. If the upstairs is open, see the Red Room where many visitors detect a "cold spot" inches above the fireplace, and a murderer's portrait changes each time you look at it.

If you're taking a ghost tour, choose the Haunted History Tours that leave from the front of Rev. Zombie's House of Voodoo.

For the best ghost photos, be sure to take pictures around St. Louis Cathedral and haunted Jackson Square.

Ogden, UT

Drive a short distance north of Salt Lake City, you'll be rewarded with rich ghost hunting experiences.

Stay at the elegant Ben Lomond Hotel, one of America's most-haunted hotels. (If it's full, the Radisson Suites Hotel on Washington Street is also haunted.)

Eat anywhere along 25th Street, and listen for the odd popping noises of ghostly coins hitting the pavement. That's how prostitutes--still haunting the sites where brothels once flourished--used to catch the attention of customers.

There are no ghost tours in Ogden, but if you focus on 25th Street, you're likely to capturen abundance of ghost orbs. Beneath the streets, hundred-year-old tunnels and catacombs connect many of the businesses. Above ground, these charming shops and cafes were once opium dens and brothels with colorful (and sometimes tragic) histories.
