Some people check into a hotel looking for peace and quiet. Others, however, want their hotel to be an adventure — and what could be more of an adventure than a hotel crawling with ghosts?

The Palmer House Hotel is easily the most haunted hotel in Minnesota — and maybe one of the most haunted places in the state in general. Built in 1901, the hotel is such a spectral activity hotbed that it’s been featured on ghost-hunting shows like “Ghost Adventures” and “The Dead Files.” Psychics, paranormal investigators, and ghost fans alike have been drawn to the hotel for years. You can easily experience it all yourself just by checking in! After all, the hotel does offer two-hour-long ghost tours that teach you its history and take you into the infamous basement…

Palmer House Hotel, located in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, was originally built in 1901. That means a lot of guests have stayed there in the last century... and some apparently never checked out.
