But why haunted hotels?
Many people go to haunted hotels to search for ghosts when on a vacation or trip instead of somewhere else, because when you stay in a haunted hotel you can be there around the clock and are therefore more likely to experience something. The following stories are of peoples’ experiences in haunted hotels across the U.S.
As a man is traveling to Jefferson, Texas from Colorado, he decides to call the Jefferson Hotel to reserve a room, for he has been driving for many hours and is now tired. He specifically requests a haunted room. Once he finally arrives, he walks into his room and says to the empty room, "I'm exhausted from the long drive. If you want to haunt me, fine... if not, no problem." After eating dinner, the man decides to settle down in the claw foot tub in the bathroom. As time passes, the mirror begins to fog up. All of a sudden, the word, “help” appears in the middle mirror. A little while later, the name, “Judy” becomes visible above “help”. Finally, the word, “redrum” becomes visible at the bottom of the mirror. As the room cools a few hours later, the fog vanishes from the mirror, along with the words. The next day, the man fogs up the mirror again, but this time, no words appear. Many people wonder if this room in the Jefferson Hotel is really haunted. Supposedly, a woman died in the bathtub of that very room. Still, some believe the words are etched or somehow written on the mirror and are only visible once the mirror is fogged because this is not the only account of words appearing on this mirror.

A husband and wife, their two sons, the wife’s parents, and the wife’s two sisters and two nieces decided to stay at the Crescent Hotel one summer, a hotel known for being haunted. The parents were in one room, the sisters and nieces in another, and the wife, husband, and sons were in one more. About ten minutes after the sisters went into their room they ran out screaming that the lampshade had jumped into the air, spun around, and fell to the floor. After that, everyone in all three rooms decided to go to bed. In the wife, husband, and sons’ room, the toilet would not stop running. The husband looked in the back of the toilet and saw the chain was off. He put it back on. An hour later, the toilet started back up again. This time, the husband twisted the chain back on to ensure that it would not slip off again. The next morning the toilet was running again, so the family just let it go because they believed someone must have wanted it that way. Back in the nieces and sisters’ room, every thirty minutes the phone would ring. When the phone was answer no one was there. In the morning, everyone but the parents went down to the garden. The group looked up to the parents’ window and saw them standing at it, so they waved at the parents. The parents did not wave back. When the group went up to ask the parents if they had seen them down in the garden, the parents said they had not looked out their window at all. Besides, the window was too high on the wall for them to possibly see out. For more visit http://www.americasmosthauntedhotel.com/stories.htm
While traveling home after visiting his mother’s house, a man and his wife decide to stop at a hotel for the night before continuing their long journey home. Little did they know this hotel was a haunted hotel. By some stroke of luck, the man’s uncle was staying in that very same hotel while on a business trip that night. After getting settled in their room the wife decides to take a bubble bath while the husband chooses to walk six doors down the hall to visit his uncle. By the time the man reaches half way to his uncle’s room, he hears someone screaming at the top of their lungs. It is his wife. He sprints back to the room only to discover the bathroom light has been turned off. When he turns on the light, he sees his wife looking petrified in the bathtub. He asks if she is alright. She replies that the lights turned off by themselves, and once they did, she heard a man whispering to her. When the woman finishes, they couple finally go to visit the uncle. Later, they return to their room, the man takes a shower, and they go to bed. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings. The couple answers the phone, but nobody was there. Then, there is a knock at the door. Believing it to be the uncle knocking, the wife answers the door, but again, no one is there. At this point the wife becomes very afraid, so the husband goes out the door to see who had knocked. He looks to his right, but saw nothing. Then, the left. He saw him standing there, in a dark blue suit and with an odd looking hat. The man drooped the cane he was holding, tipped his hat, and disappeared.
