Whether you're on vacation or a business trip, it serves as your temporary home. Some hotels have had a long storied history – and as you’ll see in this list, many of them aren’t pleasant. These are the 5 most haunted hotels in America.5. Shanley Hotel – New YorkBuilt in 1895 the Shanley Hotel in Napanoch New York takes the term "haunted" seriously. Enough so that every guest who spends the night has to be over 16-years old of age and supposedly made to sign a waiver, just in case something happens. One look at it would make you think twice about even approaching the property, let alone spending the night there. It sits on a street corner with its distinct Dutch Colonial architecture and peeling white paint, like it was pulled straight out of a horror film. 4. The Queen Anne Hotel - CaliforniaUnderneath it's gorgeous and historic pink Victorian façade, The Queen Anne Hotel is home to several ghosts and various paranormal occurrences. First established in 1889 by Senator James G. Fair, it was initially a girl's boarding school. Named the Mary Lake School for Girls, it opened in 1890 and was received with much acclaim in San Francisco. James Fair created the school not just as a business but also so that his two daughters would have a place of education and boarding once they arrived in the city.
