The spooky season will be here before we know it, but for some of us, the paranormal is a way of life that deserves to be observed year-round. If you, too, enjoy all things creepy and haunted, you will want to visit South Dakota’s historic Hotel Alex Johnson ASAP, as is it said to be plagued by the paranormal:

Located in Rapid City, the Hotel Alex Johnson is a swanky hotel that - despite its luxurious accommodations and world-class service - is said to have a dark secret.
