You might be surprised to learn that there are many haunted hotels in North Carolina where you can spend the night and might just have a paranormal encounter of your own. If you weren't a believer before, you might just be after staying a night or two in one of the notoriously haunted hotels in North Carolina.

1. The Omni Grove Park Inn

The most famous story from a haunted hotel in North Carolina is, of course, the Pink Lady at the Grove Park Inn. A possible suicide, or a possible push, caused a damsel to fall to her death...no one is sure how her life ended. Her spirit still lingers throughout this beautiful hotel to this day. But word on the street is that she is a very friendly, kind-hearted ghost, so if you encounter her, don't be scared. (easier said than done!)

Blowing Rock is a quaint town but the Green Park Inn is hiding something terrible on the third floor. A woman who died in the Inn seems to be stuck here forever.

3. The Carolina Inn

The Carolina Inn has plenty of southern antebellum charm, which is probably why 20-year resident, Dr. William Jacocks never wanted to leave. His playful spirit is said to haunt his former residence, Suite 252. Guests have frequently had issues with getting locked out of the room..to the point of the installation of an electronic lock that still seems to malfunction. This is absolutely one of the most haunted hotels in NC.

4. Blind Tiger Asheville (formerly 1889 WhiteGate Inn & Cottage)

Looking for a "haunted bed and breakfast near me?" Formerly the 1889 WhiteGate Inn & Cottage, the Blind Tiger Asheville is an AAA-four diamond bed and breakfast but it also houses a mysterious spirit and former owner, Mrs. B. Each room in the cottage is named after American authors, and Mrs. B preferred Robert Frost. In 1928, while owning the property as a private residence, she passed away, but many believe she never left this haunted bed and breakfast in North Carolina. Mrs. B continues to tidy up rooms, closing and opening drawers, and also enjoys sitting in the garden.

5. The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa

This fabulous lakeside inn has been visited by famous faces, including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Franklin Roosevelt. Aside from the glitzy reputation, it was also a convalescent home for wounded soldiers in the 1940s and the site of a murder in the 1930s, leading many to believe this is one of the most haunted hotels in North Carolina. The spirits still remain there to this day. Staff have reported hearing their name called in a grave voice and strange apparitions have been seen with both the eye and captured on camera.
