Our Scariest Stays

The Swan Hotel
Guests have experienced doors repeatedly opening on their own, kettles turning on by themselves at 3 am with impressions appearing on beds as if someone sat down, apparitions of a lady in their room, and an elderly man sitting by the bed who walked into the bathroom and vanished, leaving even sceptical visitors thoroughly spooked.

Guests experienced a TV turning on and falling off the wall at 2am accompanied by the smell of smoking, terrifying spine-electrifying moments at night with heart rate spikes recorded on Fitbit, cat balls moving and activating on their own, cupboard doors opening twice before their eyes, torches turning on and off by themselves, hair being pulled by invisible forces, temperature drops, scraping sounds from the boarded-up attic, and sightings of black figures standing beside the hanging noose.

Guests have experienced violent poltergeist activity with furniture slamming at 2am, physical attacks including night terrors with spirits pulling arms and legs, objects moving on their own, including rails dragging across floors, being touched and hearing whispers, and witnessing apparitions evolving before their eyes during multi-night stays in various rooms, including the Edward Room, Guard Room, and the Lookout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Haunted Hotels Safe to Stay In?
The hotels listed here are ordinary working hotels, inns and castles, run to the same safety rules as anywhere else you might stay. A ghost story doesn't change that. If you have questions about a particular building, such as stairs, access or fire safety, ask the hotel directly before you book.
How Do You Decide Which Hotels Are Haunted?
We read guest reviews, written accounts and the history of each building, and give every hotel a tier based on how many consistent reports of unexplained experiences we can find. Featured and Verified Haunts have written guest accounts; Unverified hotels have a haunted reputation but few first-hand reports so far. The tiers measure the reports, not proof of ghosts. How our tiers work
Can You Request a Haunted Room?
Most haunted hotels allow guests to request specific haunted rooms, though availability varies. Popular haunted rooms should be booked well in advance.
