Time to grab your best friends and get to picking out some spots for your haunted & historical overnight bucket list.
Here’s our first round of top 5 picks:
📍Fairmont Banff Springs, Banff, Alberta 🇨🇦 Known as the “Castle in the Rockies,” this grand hotel is famous for ghost stories about a bride who reportedly died on the staircase and the legendary bellman Sam McAuley. The stunning views and incredible history make this gorgeous hotel a place you’ll want to stay in your afterlife too. Fairmont Banff Springs
📍The Coach House, Salem, Mass 🇺🇸
This gorgeous Victorian Inn holds a lot of beautiful energy. Some visitors say they have had lights flicker, felt the energy of a sea captain and get hints that a young female former resident might still be around. We had the best sleep in this luxe inn, it’s got a beautiful vibe and very photo worthy decor. The Coach House | Salem, MA
📍Wildwood Sanatarium, Salamanca, NY 🇺🇸
Built in 1900, Wildwood became a healing centre offering osteopathic treatments and therapeutic baths before being used as a tuberculosis sanitarium. The building’s medical past, changing purpose, and reports of activity make this place extra interesting. Wildwood Sanitarium

This stunning 1784 mansion stands on the site of Sheriff George Corwin’s former home, connecting it to Salem’s infamous witch trials and decades of reported paranormal activity. The Merchant Salem
📍S.K. Pierce Mansion, Gardner, Mass 🇺🇸
This lavish Victorian mansion, built in the 1870s, is notorious for reports of paranormal activity and stories of former residents said to still linger. It’s a dream destination for anyone fascinated by haunted history. Sk Pierce Haunted Victorian Mansion
