It’s the spooky season, folks. For some travelers, the prospect of eerie sounds and ghostly apparitions might be disconcerting, but for others, nothing is more thrilling than a stay at a haunted hotel — allegedly haunted, that is. The historic hotels listed below offer more than just a nice room and a cozy bed for a night or two, they come with spine-chilling histories and rumors of ghostly guests.
As an added bonus, there is a Pinkerton twist. Many a historic swindler, sneak thief, forger, and bank robber on the prowl found his, or her, way to these haunted hotels with a Pinkerton operative close behind. And a couple of these hotels — namely the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans and the Hotel Pfister in Milwaukee — were themselves victims of crimes. Of course, we caught the bad guys, but where those guys went in the afterlife is a mystery to us.
If spotting specters is on your bucket list, go ahead and plan your visit. But let us help you with one bit of information. With everything else going on, you don’t need to wonder about your crime risk, too. Check out these Pinkerton Crime Index risk scores. The higher the number, the higher the risk. Know your risk.
