I was wondering if anyone else has stayed at a haunted hotel? This is what happened to me:

I have been traveling a lot this year. I have probably spent over 40 nights at various hotels across the country since January and the year isn't over yet. In an average year I probably spend 20 or so nights in a hotel. I have also lived in an apartment for the past five years that I think is haunted.

Even though I believe my house is haunted and I have spent a lot of times in hotels this year I never once stayed at a hotel that I thought was haunted until last week. I got to spend 10 days at the Mirage Resort in Las Vegas. I love Las Vegas. I try to go every year and for the past several years we have stayed at the Mirage.

Our room faced the famed Las Vegas strip with marvelous views. When we entered the room I immediately felt a little odd like I had received an electrical shock but wrote that off as static since Vegas is so dry. For a few days nothing really happened except for occasionally finding things in the room that were not ours (like a fortune from a fortune cookie layed out on a suitcase), the thermostat was turned way down one afternoon after I complained about always coming back to a warm room, and we had a feeling our stuff have been moved. Again we just wrote it off-probably housekeeping moved stuff, right?

About 3 days into our trip we fell into bed exhausted after a day of walking up and down the Las Vegas strip visiting other resorts and having fun. I just turned off the light and started to say "good night" to my husband when it felt distinctly like someone sat down on the end of the bed. I could feel that the mattress and covers were depressed. I sat up and turned on the light and it felt like whatever was there stood up at that moment. It was freaky. With the light on we examined the bed and could find no reason for the weird sensation of someone sitting on the bed.

The next thing two things that happened occurred when I was alone in the room. We had a small soft sided suitcase sitting on a shelf and it had sat there all week. Something caught my attention and I looked up from the document I was reading to see the suitcase jump off the shelf. It didn't tumble off but seemed to jump UP, into the air, and then fall down. It startled me but not knowing the nature of the "person" who was haunting the room (did they just want attention or were they trying to frighten me) I tried not to react much and just said "Cute" in an exasperated tone and left the case on the floor until I was ready to deal with it.

After that several days passed with no activity. On the last day we were there I returned to the room for a nap before we went out for the evening. I have a small glasses case that has a light built in. The light turns on by depressing a button. I put that and my small camera on the bed next to me. I was looking at my phone when a beam of light hit my face. I quickly turned my head but saw nothing. I continued staring at my glasses case and about 45 seconds later the light turned on briefly. I was shocked and all I could think to do was say "hi!"

Nothing else happened after that. I have been monitoring my glass case and it has not turned itself on again. I am back home and everything here is calm. It was a weird experience but not really overly frightening.

Do you have any haunted hotel experiences?

I stayed at a haunted bed and breakfast with my fiance at the time in kaneohe bay, Hawaii which was not advertised as haunted. The first three days there was nothing unusual at all. On the fourth day is when things started to happen. We came home from the beach and found one of our towels hanging on the fan above the bed. I brushed this off as a joke thinking that the maid did it. My wife was upset, but i convinced her it was nothing and we had a few drinks and sat on the balcony. We went to bed and heard strange noises thoughout the night. It sounded like knocking noises inside the wall but they were all over the house. The next morning my wife went to take a shower and when she came out her clothes were covered in a liquid substance. She screamed and I ran over to see what was wrong. After smelling the liquid I could tell it was bleach. Her clothes were destroyed and had pink spots from the bleach. I checked all of the doors and there was no way anyone could have gotten in. I also checked the ceiling for leaks and there was nothing. No bleach in the entire unit. The noises escalated throughout the day and my wife ended up having a panic attack. We decided to find a different hotel even though we had 3 nights remaining and prepaid for it. This ended up completely ruining our Hawaii vacation.

I work at a hotel in central Cali. There was an incident of a woman commiting suicide in one of our rooms bout 20 years ago. A dishwasher who has been there for many years has claimed hearing people whistling and seeing a woman in a black dress walking about which he claims to be the spirit of the deceased. He swears that this only happens late at night around 1am when he was in the kitchen washing dishes alone. My partner and I walk the floors and past the room where she killed herself every night. Sometimes alone sometimes togather but I personaly have never seen or heard anything. My partner claims to have seen her walking the floors a few times as well as a couple of the maids seeing her during the day. I have tried to get the hotel to let me bring in some investigators but they refuse so ya'll jus gotta form your own opinions. Real or not but at least hope you enjoy the read.

Wow. That was pretty freaky and also pretty hostile. I wonder how the bleach was transported in the room or if it was some kind of ghost goo?

I am sorry your vacation was ruined. Did you ever google the place to see if anyone else ever reported a haunting?

I did enjoy the read! Just the type of story I was looking for.

Would you get into trouble if you just tried a quick EVP session on a break?
