Haunted Hotels (also called America's Haunted Hotels) is an American paranormal television series that premiered on October 24, 2001, on the Travel Channel. The series features haunted hotels in America and the ghost stories that are told from employees and guests alike who work and stay in them. They give their own personal accounts about encounters with the supernatural while working or visiting a particular hotel.
Show Summary The series is about ghostly goings-on in hotels across America (and in some episodes hotels in the United Kingdom and another one in France). Each hotel has a haunted history to it that leads the people from its past to stay behind. From ghosts that cause chills, and spirits that linger to poltergeists that move things around.
Each episode features different haunted hotels, motels, castles, and any overnight establishments in the United States and United Kingdom that leave its dark pasts behind for the living to experience for themselves. Dramatizations and special effects re-create true-life ghost stories from each haunted hotel.
